O.F. Mossberg & Sons was founded in 1919 by Oscar Mossberg in New Haven, Connecticut. The Model 500 pump shotgun is the second-most-produced shotgun in history (behind only the Remington 870) and the only shotgun approved by the U.S. Department of Defense for general service. Mossberg's bolt-action rifle line (Patriot, MVP, ATR) and its tactical shotguns (590, 590A1, Shockwave) anchor the U.S. private-sale market. Pre-1980 'Western Field' marked variants sold through Montgomery Ward and 'Sears Ted Williams' OEM versions are now collectible curiosities.

Mossberg Value FAQ

What's the difference between the Mossberg 500 and the 590?

The 590 has a metal trigger guard and safety (the 500 has polymer), a heavier barrel, a magazine tube that can be disassembled for cleaning (extending past the barrel), and bayonet lug provisions on military-spec variants. The 590A1 is the milspec 590 with a heavy-walled barrel and parkerized finish. Functionally similar for sporting use; the 590A1 has higher collector value.

Is a Mossberg Patriot worth more than an ATR?

Yes. The Patriot replaced the ATR around 2015 and is the better-fit-and-finished design with a fluted bolt, twin-lug action, and removable magazine. ATRs are common on the used market and trade $50-150 below equivalent Patriots.

Do Mossberg 'Western Field' or 'Sears Ted Williams' shotguns have collector value?

Some — they were Mossberg 500s and similar models rebranded for big-box retail in the 1960s-1970s. Most trade at the regular Mossberg 500 price. Engraved or limited-edition Western Field variants can run a small premium.

What is the Shockwave?

The Mossberg 590 Shockwave is a 14" barreled 'firearm' (not a shotgun under ATF classification) with a Raptor pistol grip. It's legal to own without an NFA stamp in most states but cannot be modified to a shoulder stock without becoming an SBS. Highly popular for home-defense; market price has stayed near MSRP.
