O.F. Mossberg & Sons · Shotgun · In Production · 2026
Also known as: 940 Pro Waterfowl Realtree Legacy, 940 Pro Waterfowl
Overview
The Mossberg 940 Pro Waterfowl Realtree Legacy is a gas-operated semi-automatic 12-gauge shotgun built for duck and goose hunting, offered in Realtree's Legacy camouflage pattern across the metal, stock, and forend. It is part of Mossberg's 940 platform, which uses a self-regulating gas system with nickel-boron-coated internals - including the gas piston, magazine tube, hammer, and sear - rated for up to 1,500 rounds between cleanings. The 28-inch vent-rib AccuChoke barrel ships with an extended X-Factor Modified waterfowl choke plus flush Full and Improved Cylinder tubes, topped by a HIVIZ CompSight fiber-optic front sight, and the receiver is cut for Shield RMSc-pattern micro red dot optics. Weather-resistant Cerakote metal surfaces and a self-draining synthetic stock and forend with adjustable length of pull (13 to 14.25 inches) and drop/cast shims round out a purpose-built waterfowl autoloader. The Realtree Legacy colorway was added to the line for 2026.

Background
The 940 platform was born in the competition world with Jerry Miculek, but the Waterfowl model turns that race-proven gas system toward the duck blind - the Realtree Legacy camo addition for 2026 wraps a self-draining, 1,500-round-between-cleanings autoloader in a fresh pattern built to disappear in the marsh.
