Up for sale is a classic 1950s American utility shotgun—a Mossberg Model 190 chambered in the versatile 16 Gauge (2-3/4″ shells). Built with a smooth bolt-action receiver and a detachable box magazine, the Model 190 was engineered as a reliable, all-around field shotgun.
This model features Mossberg’s famous factory C-Lect-Choke system, allowing the shooter to quickly adjust constrictions (from Full to Modified to Cylinder) with a simple twist of the barrel sleeve—no separate choke tubes required. The barrel is also factory ported near the muzzle to reduce felt recoil and muzzle jump during quick follow-up shots. Curio & Relic (C&R) eligible.
