Mossberg 500

Named in a drug-related firearms count in the 2019 New Aryan Empire indictment.

Evidence as of 2019-02-05

History & context

The Model 500 family includes slide-action shotguns. The Smithsonian preserves a 12-gauge 500 ATP made by O. F. Mossberg and Sons in North Haven, Connecticut. The criminal filing instead names a 20-gauge example, demonstrating why a family name does not fix every specification.
