Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Mossberg 590 Mariner different from a standard 590?
The key distinction is the Marinecote finish applied to the metal components. Marinecote is a corrosion-resistant coating bonded over stainless steel, specifically engineered to withstand prolonged exposure to moisture, salt air, and humid environments where a standard blued or parkerized finish would quickly rust or degrade. The action, reliability features, and overall platform remain identical to the proven military-specification 590.
What types of 12-gauge ammunition can the 590 Mariner fire?
The 590 Mariner's 3-inch chamber accepts both standard 2¾-inch and 3-inch 12-gauge shells, giving you flexibility to run everything from low-recoil birdshot and buckshot to full-power 3-inch magnum loads. For home defense, 00 buckshot in 2¾-inch or 3-inch loads is the most popular choice. Slugs are also compatible and effective for longer-range defensive use.
Is the Mossberg 590 Mariner compatible with aftermarket accessories?
Yes. The 590 Mariner is one of the most accessory-friendly shotguns on the market. It accepts a wide range of Mossberg 500/590-compatible stocks, pistol grip kits, forends, magazine tube extensions, sling mounts, and rail systems. Its Picatinny-compatible receiver area also supports lights and optics with the appropriate mounting hardware, making it highly customizable for both defensive and tactical applications.
