Retrograde Ruggedness: Mossberg 500 Classic Wood Shotgun
The Mossberg 500 Retrograde is a throwback to the no-frills, all-business defensive shotguns of yesteryear. This pump-action 12 gauge combines the proven 500 action with classic wood furniture for a timeless look and feel.
A hardwood stock and fore-end provide a natural pointer while the blued metal and simple bead sight ensure a true sight picture. Under the wood is Mossberg’s rock-solid pump design with dual extractors, steel-to-steel lockup, and lightning-fast twin action bars.
The 18.5″ cylinder bore barrel delivers optimum power and patterning with standard 2.75″ or 3″ 12 gauge ammunition. An ambidextrous top-mounted safety makes it easy to operate from either side.
While the frills are limited, the performance is anything but. The 500 Retrograde loads up to 5 rounds of serious 12 gauge firepower, ready to handle any threat quickly and definitively.
