How Much Is a Mossberg 590 Worth? (2026 Value Update)

How We Calculate Used Mossberg 590 Values

Mossberg 590 value is affected by its condition, variant or model, and accessories or upgrades.

Condition and Value

For secondhand Mossberg 590 shotguns, condition has an effect on value. Better-condition guns have higher value.

Condition grades are assigned to preowned guns by professionals through an appraisal. This may require you to pay a fee. However, we do free gun appraisal online for gun sellers.

To see how we professionally evaluate your firearm (for free) and turn that condition into a payout, view our 3-step selling process for a guaranteed FFL offer.

Once you know your gun’s condition grade, you can use this guide to determine “How much is my Mossberg 590 worth.”

Note that it comes in both stock-equipped and 590M Shockwave (pistol grip) variants. Those two sit at the same value.

Mossberg 590R Value

The average used Mossberg 590R is worth $300 to $650. A new 590R sells for $900 at retail.

This is the version of the 590 with the AR-style Rotary Safety Selector. The barrel can come with an integrated heat shield design or the stand-off (590R Stand-Off). Both versions are worth about the same.

Mossberg 590RM Value

The average used Mossberg 590RM is worth $370 to $750. A new 590RM sells for $1,000 at retail.

This uses double-stack magazines. That takes the classic 590R’s capacity to 10+1 with the 590RM, giving box-mag fans an alternative to good old-fashioned tube-feeding.

Mossberg 590 Shockwave Value

The average used Mossberg 590 Shockwave is worth $100 to $250. A new 590 Shockwave sells for $550 at retail.

The short version of the 590 that’s not a Class III firearm! That’s if you keep the bird’s head grip instead of fitting a shoulder stock on it, of course.

The Shockwaves actually have the heavy-walled barrel found in the 590A1s, which makes them feel surprisingly hefty. They come in 12 ga, 20 ga, and .410 bore. There’s also a Cerakoted version (add about $10 to $20 for this in resale).

Mossberg 590 Nightstick Value

The average used Mossberg 590 Nightstick is worth $200 to $400. A new 590 Nightstick sells for $600 at retail.

The 590S versions can cycle different-sized shells interchangeably even without an adaptor and come in 18.5” or 20” barrels.

There are versions of this with Magpul SGA stocks and MOE forends, as well as factory-mounted Holosun HS407K optics. Add about $50 to $100 to the value of the base model for these.

There are also pistol-grip Mossberg 590S Shockwave models in both 18.5” and 14.375” barrels. Subtract $50 to $100 of the base model’s value for these.

How Accessories Affect What We Pay for Your 590

Some accessories can improve the value of your gun, though it depends on three things. These are their quality, their manufacturer, and the buyer.

If you can’t find interested in both your gun and its accessories, contact us. We regularly make offers on everything, from accessories to ammunition.

Original Box and Papers

The 590s generally come in cardboard boxes now, so don’t expect too much. Still, if your box and papers are still in superb condition, you may be able to get some money for them.

Value: Around $10 to $20 for the matching box and papers.

Optics

A lot of Mossberg’s guns actually come optics-ready. That means you can try to bundle an aftermarket optic with yours when you sell your used gun.

Value: Around 30% to 50% for the accessory’s original value.

Mossberg Ghost Ring Sight Kit

Obviously only relevant if your 590 doesn’t already have one. These retail for about $100 and require gunsmithing for the front sight.

Value: Around 30% to 50% for the accessory’s original value.
