Description
When it comes to home defense, you need a tool that’s ready for anything. The Mossberg 500 Flex Combo, 12 Ga, 24/18.5″, 6rd, Mossy Oak Camo is a versatile, dual-barrel pump-action shotgun system. It’s a complete package offering a long barrel for hunting and a short barrel for tactical use, all wrapped in durable Mossy Oak camouflage. This is a go-anywhere, do-anything shotgun built on the legendary Mossberg 500 platform, known for its reliability and simple, rugged design. At $595.20, it delivers serious value for a two-gun setup in one.
Here’s the thing—most shotguns are built for one role. This Mossberg 500 Flex Combo changes that. The core of the system is the Flex concept, which allows you to swap barrels and stocks without tools or a gunsmith. The included 24″ vent-rib barrel with a modified choke is perfect for waterfowl, turkey, or clays. The 18.5″ cylinder-bore barrel is your home defense and tactical specialist. Switching from a field gun to a security tool takes minutes and is drop-in ready. That’s flexibility you can’t get from a fixed-configuration shotgun.
Built on the proven Mossberg 500 action, this shotgun features a dual extractor system, a steel-to-steel lockup, and a tang-mounted safety that’s ambidextrous and easy to operate. The 6-round capacity gives you plenty of firepower, whether you’re pushing through thick brush or securing a hallway. The Mossy Oak finish isn’t just for looks; it provides corrosion resistance and breaks up the shotgun’s outline in the field. Weighing approximately 7.5 pounds, it’s substantial enough to manage 12-gauge recoil but remains quick to shoulder.

Pros: Unmatched versatility for the price. Two dedicated barrels mean optimized performance for different tasks. The Mossberg 500 action is famously reliable and easy to maintain. The camo finish is durable and functional. The Flex system allows for future customization with other Mossberg 500 Flex accessories.
Cons: Pump actions require practice to run smoothly under stress. The camo pattern is fixed, unlike a synthetic stock you can spray paint. Some may prefer a dedicated, single-role firearm, but that misses the point of this combo.
This shotgun is for the Missouri hunter who also values home security, or the preparedness-minded individual who wants one platform for multiple scenarios. It’s for the shooter who understands that a shotgun is a tool, and the right tool for the job often requires the right barrel. It’s also an excellent first shotgun, providing two learning platforms in one purchase. Available at firearms-missouri.com for Missouri residents and nationwide, an FFL transfer is required for firearm purchases.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chokes come with the 24″ barrel?
A: The 24″ vent-rib barrel typically comes with a Modified choke tube installed. It uses the common Accu-Choke thread pattern, so a wide array of aftermarket chokes from brands like Carlson’s or Trulock will fit.
Q: Can I add a pistol grip or different stock later?
A: Absolutely. That’s the strength of the Flex system. You can swap to a variety of Mossberg-branded Flex stocks and forends—including pistol grip configurations—without any gunsmithing required. It’s a modular system designed for easy user customization.
Q: Is the 18.5″ barrel suitable for deer hunting with slugs?
A: While it can fire slugs, the 18.5″ cylinder bore barrel is not ideal for precision slug shooting at distance. For deer hunting with slugs, you’d want a longer, rifled or cantilevered barrel for better accuracy. The 24″ barrel with a improved cylinder or rifled choke would be a better choice.
If you need a single, adaptable shotgun platform that can transition from the field to the homefront without compromise, the Mossberg 500 Flex Combo is a practical and proven solution. See the full details on our site.
