Yes — the McLean Shotgun Sling fits the Mossberg 590. The front of the sling carries its own hook, so up front it only needs a loop to clip onto — never a second hook.
Front attachment
Barrel band / magazine cap — varies by configuration.
Some 590s carry a factory swivel on the barrel band; aftermarket clamps exist precisely because many do not.
Rear attachment
Sling swivel stud — already on the gun.
Synthetic 590 stocks generally carry a rear stud.
You need a sling swivel in the stud. The stud is a threaded post, not a loop — a standard sling swivel screws into it and gives the sling something to attach to.
Why this sling on a Mossberg 590
Duty, home-defence and competition use put a shotgun on and off the shoulder constantly, often with a hand busy loading. Retention matters more here than raw comfort: the gun has to lock against the body and release without a second thought.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the shotgun against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the shotgun. Tube unloaded, action open, chamber checked visually and physically.
- Front: clip the sling hook to the barrel band / magazine cap.
- Rear: attach at the sling swivel stud.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Questions
Does the McLean Shotgun Sling fit a Mossberg 590?
Yes. At the front the sling uses its own hook, so it needs a loop to clip to: the barrel band / magazine cap (added separately). At the rear it attaches at the sling swivel stud (already fitted).
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my Mossberg 590?
No. The McLean sling carries its own hook at the front as part of the retention system. It only needs something to hook onto — a factory loop, a swivel, or any loop you add. Buying a second snap hook for the front is wasted money.
What do I need to buy for a Mossberg 590?
At the front you need a loop: Some 590s carry a factory swivel on the barrel band; aftermarket clamps exist precisely because many do not. At the rear the sling swivel stud is already there too.
What length sling do I need for a Mossberg 590?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
