What O.F. Mossberg and Sons does

O.F. Mossberg and Sons is a privately held, family-owned US firearms manufacturer founded in 1919 by Oscar Frederick Mossberg and headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut. The company designs and produces shotguns and rifles across pump-action (500, 590, 590A1, Maverick 88), semi-automatic (940 Pro, 990, Mossberg International SA Series), and bolt-action (Patriot, MVP Series) platforms, with sub-brands including Thunder Ranch Series tactical shotguns and Reserve Series break-action shotguns. Product features include the proprietary Flex System modular accessory platform, 590R/590RM rotary safety mechanisms, optic-ready factory configurations, and Cerakote finish options, supported by a factory parts catalog spanning barrels, magazines, stocks, choke tubes, and small parts.

The company's revenue model is anchored in hardware sales of firearms distributed exclusively through an authorized stocking dealer network across the United States and Canada, with an international export sales channel for customers outside North America. Mossberg supplements firearms sales with an e-commerce storefront offering parts, accessories, gear, and branded apparel, and operates a dedicated law enforcement and military program with armorer training and individual officer purchase options. Pricing spans from approximately $290 for budget Maverick 88 shotguns to over $1,400 for premium tactical and MIL-SPEC models, with accessories and apparel priced from about $3 to $1,500+ across MSRP tiers. End customers are organized across four use-case segments: security and defense (law enforcement, military, civilian personal protection), hunting and sporting (big game, turkey, waterfowl, varmint, clay), competition shooting, and bantam/youth. The company carries CCPA-compliant privacy practices, maintains an active social and content marketing presence (Mossberg Journal, Facebook, Twitter/X, YouTube, Instagram), and emphasizes its American-built manufacturing heritage as a core brand pillar.
