In keeping with the canvas look, I decided to go with the this soft case instead of the previously reviewed one. The way I saw it, if it failed to work with the Mosin Nagant M44, then it would be a new home for the Mossberg 590A1…
So, does it fit?
Does a grossly overweight trucker fit in a Speedo?
This case is snug over the bayonet hinge. Doable, and perhaps the lack of wiggle room would work well when it comes to performing the “get inna woods” part of the readers’ emergency plan, but stripping off the case in a jiffy would be akin to, as George Carlin once put it, “getting wet leather leggings off of someone who is kicking.”
Even for the 590A1, it would be much easier to rack a hasty shell and panic perforate the end of the case than to tug the snag-hazard of a bayonet lug clear of the very nicely quilted interior.
All in all, very good case, terrific customer service (broken zipper was covered by the lifetime warranty and the whole process for replacement/repair was quick), and definitely a keeper. For the fans of M44’s, heed the warning and go with the larger case… which, four years later, has worked extremely well.

I use the 52 inch for my 32 inch bbl Beretta O/E shotgun. It is a really well made and attractive storage and carry case. It is padded nicely and has a really robust brass zipper that seems to be the fail point for many shotgun cases that I have owned in the past. I feel the pouch if a bit tight when new, but have an external bag for chokes and such so no big. deal. I highly recommend.
A: Hi Ken,
We suggest that you go with the 50" case. We always suggest the extra two inches to ensure a proper fit. If you have any further questions please let us know.
Thank you,
Briana
