I have a 12 gage 590 I have had it well over 5 years now and while I was cleaning it I just noticed it had a bayonet lug. I knew the USMC used Mossbergs, but did they ever have the model 590 in their arsenel as a standard issue shotgun? I do not know, I was in the Army myself. The bayonet lug is way cool, but it really does not have a purpose on a shotgun, in my opinion other than just really cool looking.

Does anyone know if anyone out there makes a flashlight attachment that uses a standard lug attachment as a quick release? So that you can attach a flashlight to a shotgun, easy on, and easy off, but with the secure fit of a bayonet?
