Are you sure they sold you a 590A1? It’s been a long time but I thought the those didn’t have choke tubes, or did they add in an additional barrel?Thanks to all you fine gents I have put an order in for a 590a1.
My reasons:
The model I got has interchangeable choke tubes.
The Mossberg can shoot mini shells possibly reliably with aftermarket help. Mini shells a no-go with Remington. Do I need to shoot mini shells? No idea .
The lack of pinned/soldered parts means I can fix stuff more easily.
Extended mag tubes are easier to install.
Trigger seemed fine enough.
Action was smooth enough.
Never shot it, nor a Remington, so the most important part of the equation is unanswered. But heck I’ll probably never shoot a Remi to compare it to so ignorance is bliss.
In any event thanks again for all the insight.
