Mossberg & Sons, Inc. continues the celebration of the company’s 100th anniversary with the introduction of a limited-edition 12-gauge Mossberg 500 Centennial pump-action shotgun. This commemorative model features a nickel-plated receiver engraved with the Mossberg 100th Anniversary logo on the right side, and a pair of flushing ruffed grouse on the left, highlighted in 24 karat gold. This model will be limited to 750 units, each with a special serial number that incorporates a unique prefix, used only for this production run.

The Mossberg 500 pump-action shotgun is designed for reliable, smooth operation with the combination of non-binding twin action bars; dual extractors; a positive steel-to-steel lock-up; anti-jam elevator; anodized aluminum receiver for added durability; and universally-recognized, ambidextrous top-mounted safety. More than 12 million Mossberg 500s have been sold in its 50-plus years in production.

The Mossberg 500 Centennial 12 Gauge (50100) is a Talo Group distributor exclusive, featuring upgrades that distinguish it from Mossberg’s extensive line of 500 special purpose and hunting guns. The traditionally styled, high-gloss walnut stock and fore-end has fine checkering on the pistol grip and wrapping around the underside of the fore-end, and the stock is fit with a classic red rubber recoil pad. A distinctive jeweled bolt, gold-plated trigger and attractive high-polished blue metal finish on the barrel complement the high-gloss wood finish. The 28” vent rib barrel comes with Mossberg’s interchangeable Accu-Choke choke tubes (Full, Modified and Improved Cylinder). The nickel-plated receiver is engraved with the Mossberg 100th Anniversary logo (right side) and flushing ruff grouse (left side), both highlighted with 24 karat gold accents, and each gun has a special serial number. MSRP:  $910
