Mossberg 590 vs Remington 870
This review compares the Mossberg 590A1 and Remington 870, highlighting key differences in receiver material, bolt lockup, shell lifters, and control ergonomics. The Mossberg features an aluminum alloy receiver with a steel barrel extension lockup, an "always up" shell lifter for easier loading, and an ambidextrous tang safety. The Remington uses a steel receiver, a "Remington Pinch" issue with its lifter, and a cross-bolt safety. Both are presented as reliable defensive shotguns, with the Mossberg offering features like a bayonet lug.
