Mossberg Shotguns

O.F. Mossberg and Sons, commonly known as Mossberg, is one of America’s most well-known firearms designers and manufacturers. Mossberg has produced a variety of shotguns for police, military, hunters, sport shooters, and home defense.

Mossberg opened their doors shortly after World War I. Initially, they produced a four-shot .22-caliber handgun.

After World War II, Mossberg began focusing on the production of sporting long guns with a specialty in shotguns. Mossberg’s initial run was a series of bolt-action shotguns that were known for their affordability and long-term durability. In 1961, Mossberg produced the first Mossberg 500. The Mossberg 500 grew in popularity and has become one of the most-produced sporting shotguns in the world. Today, Mossberg still produces the 500 as well as the Mossberg 930, 935, 835, and a line of over-and-under shotguns.
