FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 15, 2013

Mossberg FLEX MVP Series Rifle Now Available in 7.62mm NATO

Six New Bolt Actions Featuring TLS Tool-less Locking System
North Haven, CT O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc. introduced the MVP Series FLEX rifle in 2013, combining two highlyinnovative, patented and patent-pending designs a bolt-action engineered to accept and reliably feed from AR-style magazines and the unparalleled FLEX TLS System of modular accessories. Now the highly-versatile Mossberg MVP FLEX bolt-action rifle is available in 7.62mm NATO (308 Win) with choice of 18 -inch medium bull barrel (optional black or tan textured stock) or 20-inch standard contour barrel. A new 5.56mm NATO (223 Rem) offering with textured tan stock also joins the line-up. The MVP Series patent-pending bolt designs allow 7.62mm NATO (308 Win) chambered rifles to accept both M1A/M14 AND AR10-style magazines and 5.56mm NATO (223 Rem) rifles to accept AR15-style magazines. The Mossberg MVP Series, first introduced in 2011, delivered an engineering breakthrough with the 5.56mm MVPs patent-pending Drop-Push hinged bolt design which allowed use of AR15-style magazines in this bolt-action platform. A heavy-barreled, benchrest-style Varmint rifle was the first in this ground-breaking series; soon followed by the more compact, easy-to-carry Predator model in 2012. The series was further expanded in 2013 to include the tactical-ready MVP Patrol and modular MVP FLEX rifle and accessory system. Now a second patent-pending bolt design allows the MVP Series rifles to be offered in the widely-accepted 7.62mm NATO (308 Win) chambering. Adding the Mossberg FLEX TLS System to its family of MVP Series allows the user to remove and remount the rifles stock and recoil pads without tools by simply lifting or pushing the TLS latches. And with multiple FLEX accessory stocks and recoil pads available, you can adapt your rifle for fit and application. Standard features on the MVP FLEX rifles include Mossbergs patented Mossberg LBA (Lightning Bolt Action) Adjustable Trigger System which is user-adjustable from 2 to 7 pounds; fluted, button-rifled barrel with 11-degree tapered muzzle crown; FLEX 6-position tactical stock with pistol grip; coarse, textured forend with stippling for a more positive grip; durable matte blue finish on exposed metalwork; factory-installed, receiver-mounted Picatinny rail; distinctive spiral-fluted bolt; front and rear sling swivel studs; and 10-round capacity magazine.
