    Will they make a FLEX ver for the 500 in .410 size? seams the .410s have way to few options and accessories other than the improved ammo options that are out now. Would be great to go from pistol grip and slugs in the house to buttstock and shot for the kids to hunt with in the field.



  2. Random Stuff on November 16, 2021 at 6:26 pm

    I need one now smh



  3. archeryhunter72 on November 16, 2021 at 6:26 pm

    you still NEED 2 shotguns…. always have one set up in the house for home defense, the reason i bought 2 is during hunting seasons (dove,duck,turkey,squirrel,rabbit..exc) i don’t want to change my shotgun around every day before and after i go hunting….besides isn’t having MORE guns always a good thing?



  4. Adam Denomme on November 16, 2021 at 6:28 pm

    love my 500 flex, cant wait go to shooting this weekend!



  5. Víctor D. Flores on November 16, 2021 at 6:32 pm

    Can you put a regular 590 walnut stock and foregrip on this flex system? Any help would be appreciated



  6. Rho Main on November 16, 2021 at 6:37 pm

    I like it!



  7. brandan saylor on November 16, 2021 at 6:37 pm

    with the 6 position stock with pistol grip can you take the stock of and leave the pistol grip?….the one I looked at on bass pros web site looks like you can



  8. Gun Talk Media on November 16, 2021 at 6:39 pm

    Reached out to Mossberg for you: To utilize the FLEX system, you must purchase a 500 or 590 FLEX shotgun with the TLS (Tool-less Locking System). Price of FLEX shotgun is approximately $75 more than comparable 500. Cannot be retrofit.



  9. trlnmtr on November 16, 2021 at 6:41 pm

    Got mine yesterday. What they don’t show you are the awesome fiber-optic sights on the 24" barrel.



  10. MedManRod on November 16, 2021 at 6:42 pm

    Not yet



  11. Reality Becomes on November 16, 2021 at 6:43 pm

    I have a flex tactical. I wanted to add a 23" barrel to it. I purchased a Mossberg replacement barrel but it did not fit the gun. The barrell did not fit the Mag Tube. It did not screw on to it like my tactical barrel. The circumference was not wide enough. When I called Mossberg they said I would have to buy a additional mag tube to fit the replacement barrel. And then if i wanted to go back to the tactical barrel i’d have to put the old Mag Tube back on. Sucks. I really wanted to see them switch out the barrel in this video but it did not happen.



  12. 52superdude on November 16, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    Getting a 590 flex soon as my first shotgun. Excited asf.



  13. Rick Pickering on November 16, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    Will the larger recoil pad fit the tactical stock?



  14. ArgentOnGong on November 16, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    what a boring commercial



  15. Pelomalo on November 16, 2021 at 6:44 pm

    Mossberg never disappoints.



  16. Sam Cupp on November 16, 2021 at 6:46 pm

    i would like to buy a 18" barrel for my mossberg 500 but everywere i go they are sold out! its been this way for a while now and even when i went to my local gun store he the person there told me they couldnt find any either. can anyone help?



  17. Spencer Smith on November 16, 2021 at 6:46 pm

    They have a .22 with a Flex stock as well, cant get any in Canada as of yet. looks like a very good Idea. Its the lego set for firearms.



  18. Hawk60ce on November 16, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    Bought one about a week ago. best shotgun ever.



  19. Cana box on November 16, 2021 at 6:47 pm

    Why didn’t you change the barrel?



  20. mpett2 on November 16, 2021 at 6:48 pm

    I dont know why mossberg promotes their guns with pistol grips. You cant operate the tang safety with a pistol grip



  21. nathan livolsi on November 16, 2021 at 6:49 pm

    can you put 535 barrels on 500 receivers



  22. Alexis C on November 16, 2021 at 6:49 pm

    Own a mossberg, Gonna get a tac stock and forgrip for it



  23. Taylor on November 16, 2021 at 6:49 pm

    will they fit the 20 gauge shotguns 



  24. glocksmc on November 16, 2021 at 6:49 pm

    Good question, Did you ever get an answer?



  25. Chance Blevins on November 16, 2021 at 6:51 pm

    Felt I needed to remove the recoil pad for buttstroke capabilities.



  26. Kevin Sears on November 16, 2021 at 6:52 pm

    I like it so much that I have 3 of them now. The 590a1 will prob leave my collection.



  27. Alpha THE FIRST ONE! on November 16, 2021 at 6:56 pm

    I love this gun. This gun is very practical and highly reliable. AAA+++!



  28. Michael Max on November 16, 2021 at 6:57 pm

  32. Papo de Armas on November 16, 2021 at 6:59 pm

    love it



  33. SwaggerSRT on November 16, 2021 at 6:59 pm

    I love my Mossberg 500, but my only problem with Mossberg right now is, on their online store literally none of these parts are in stock barrels, flex parts, nothing Please Mossberg get some of your things back in stock!



  34. Sijonda on November 16, 2021 at 7:00 pm

    Too bad everything is out of stock.



  35. Eric Vallieres on November 16, 2021 at 7:02 pm

    I wish the flex parts were not so hard to find and I wish they had more



  36. Rafael Kaszas on November 16, 2021 at 7:03 pm

    I have a Mossberg 930 x 28 "imported by the CBC for BRAZIL and the shotgun this very slack in the breech pin after 1000 shots in skeet, due to big headache I am very dissatisfied with this product.



  37. Frank Ernest on November 16, 2021 at 7:04 pm

    They should have made the pistol grip version w/ a Raptor grip. Then they would’ve had something really special



  38. Ridin’ Dirty Outdoors on November 16, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    Can you use a 6 position stock from another mossberg 500 with these?



  39. Goattacular on November 16, 2021 at 7:05 pm

    Just bought the coyote tan hunting configuration on May 5th! Gonna take it to the range on Saturday!
    It really is stupid-simple to remove components, and it still takes Mossberg 500 accessories no problem. I already fitted it with a sling, Monstrum rail and a TruGlo Gobble-Stopper turkey sight. I definitely want to buy the thickest pad and adjustable hunting stock, because I’m tall and the 14-whatever inch LOP hunting stock with the second thickest recoil pad just isn’t long enough for me.

    I was pretty close to buying a Benelli Super Nova, but I saw the 500 FLEX, did some research, and saved myself about $150, and ended up with a shotgun that fits my needs.

    Oh, and I don’t know about the black versions, but the coyote tan hunting configuration comes with a tube mag plug so the gun is hunting legal right out of the box. For home defense, remove the barrel, point the tube at the floor, and give it a good shake. The wooden dowel will poke out. Carefully pull it as it has silicone O-rings on it. Once removed, the mag will go from being 2 round to a 5 round mag. Reattach barrel, and you’re good to go for home defense!



  40. Kern Yak Angler on November 16, 2021 at 7:06 pm

    lazy couldn’t even show them how the barrel swaps so easy



  41. Jack Sagrafsky on November 16, 2021 at 7:08 pm

    My first shotgun and it came as the tactical version with the shorter barrel then the one shown. And the pistol grip. Get shoulder protection for that stock because it has none. Have different pump handle because the tactical one can be hard on bare hands. Also have the standard stock attachment with different butt ends for shoulder protection. My only problem was getting the full length barrel for skeet and it only came in black from Mossberg. Have had it for over seven years and now the only problem I’m having is the latch stop is not letting shells to be feed.



  42. Kern Yak Angler on November 16, 2021 at 7:09 pm

    yes u can



  43. Snow Deemy on November 16, 2021 at 7:10 pm

    Stock adapter seems to come loose on my flex. will be getting SGA stock and forend



  44. Gun Talk Media on November 16, 2021 at 7:11 pm

  45. Jes Purp on November 16, 2021 at 7:11 pm

    Getting one this weekend! Cant wait. Great video.



  46. Doc Holliday on November 16, 2021 at 7:11 pm

    Is the 500 flex interchangeable only with “flex” components?



  47. nightwolf 1974 on November 16, 2021 at 7:12 pm

    DON’T LIKE IT!!!!!!!!! I’ll stick to my older Mossies!



  48. Stacie Stockman on November 16, 2021 at 7:15 pm

    Me WANT THIS GUN!



  49. Nathan Ray on November 16, 2021 at 7:17 pm

    do they or are they going to make a autoloading one?



  50. Charles Eye on November 16, 2021 at 7:18 pm

    Missed it by that much. This system needs to be on a gun equipped with the 20" ribbed and threaded barrel. The 28" will never be tactical and the 18.5" will never be a hunting barrel. Honestly, I don’t know why Mossberg isn’t promoting the short hunting barrel more. It’s the whole reason I’m considering a Grand Slam Turkey over any other 500/590.
