Mossberg OpSol Minishotshell adapter

[alan226]

I just purchased a Mossberg 590a1 20". I saw online that you can purchase an OpSol adapter that allows you to cycle and shoot minishells in a bunch of different Mossberg pump shotguns. I ordered one for short money. Every review I see is 100%

Anyone use one and what do you think of it?

I've got one, it does work, but now I am tempted to obtain a new 590s, with the modified elevator, modified bolt slide, and added bumper.

An Official Journal Of The NRA | Review: Mossberg 590S Shockwave

This most recent version of the Mossberg 590 reliably feeds 1¾" mini shells for reduced levels of felt recoil and an increased on-board shell capacity.

I almost bought the 590s, but for just about the same money I liked the heavy duty 590a1

I have the OPSOL mini shell adapter on my Mossberg 500 and it has worked flawlessly and the mini shells run perfectly with it.

What's the point of the mini shells?

Seriously. I have a couple boxes of them that I bought years ago, sitting in the back of my safe. Bought them because they looked interesting and the shop was going out of business - I picked up some things I wouldn't have ordinarily gotten.

Every so often, I look at them, and wonder just wtf I'm going to do with them.

I know the 14" shockwave 590S carries the heavy barrel, not sure about the other models.

What's the point of the mini shells?

IIRC, they first became popular in Argentina for high-cap dove hunts.

If you're going to run low-recoil buckshot, you give up very little (e.g. 00 with 8 pellets instead of 9) in exchange for fitting more shells in the mag tube.

I like the fact that in my 20" shotgun it holds 13+1 shells
