Also known as: 535 ATS, 535 All-Terrain Shotgun

Overview

The Mossberg 535 ATS (All-Terrain Shotgun) is a pump-action 12 gauge shotgun introduced in 2005, built on Mossberg's proven 500-series platform but chambered for 3.5-inch magnum shells. It retains the signature ambidextrous top-tang safety and twin action bars of the 500 family and is sold in field, turkey, waterfowl, and combo configurations, the latter packaging both a vent-rib smoothbore barrel and a fully rifled slug barrel.

Notes

Essentially a 3.5-inch-chambered evolution of the Mossberg 500. Combo packages include interchangeable smoothbore and rifled barrels for shot and slug use.

Background

The 535 ATS stretches the legendary Mossberg 500 action to swallow 3.5-inch magnum shells, and its combo packages ship with two barrels, a vent-rib smoothbore for birdshot and a fully rifled tube for slugs, so a deer hunter and a duck hunter can share one receiver.
