There is another version of each rifle, without the flash hider or muzzle break. It may be the CA version, or just another version. Mossberg's details on the rifles are pretty limited right now.

Everyone is looking at it all wrong- this is Mossberg giving the 1994 assault weapon ban a big old f*** you! Ban this lever-action and .22 while you're at it!!
I'm still waiting for the SAA with the weaver adapter underneath to mount my Viridian
Look at it this way - A pig with lipstick is still a pig, but I bet it still tastes like bacon. This has absolutely no relevance, please disregard the last statement.
This Mossberg is scrambling my brain waves....

I know some guys that are really darn good with a lever action, but none of them can master the art of making them fire thirty times without manipulating the lever or reloading.....

All it needs now is a Hellfire trigger system to round it out. 
They've got me chuckling over this one, they really do.
I hope they sell a boatload of them, and in those states that ban things based on looks, I bet that the legislatures are in emergency session. Mossberg just raised the bar on the lever-action rifle.
I'll be chuckling about this rifle all day long. I can't wait to see what the gun rags do with it.

They're a little late. The Lakota had .44 rimfire "tactical" lever actions up against George a few years back up on the Little Bighorn. They did well!
I hope this is close enough:

Once again satire of tactikewl is preempted by reality.

If it makes the anti gun crew mad, that is great.
If it sells more rifles and brings new shooters to the sport, well that's all well and fine.
It is not my bag o' tricks and I would much rather prefer Mossberg would spend a little more time on refining their product. I guess it is catering to mass market and pop culture or something.
How about if Mossberg would expand the lever line to include the pistol calibers (especially .357) heck, maybe a 10mm or 9mm if they want to mix things up a bit. No crazy rails, paint or stain the cheap hardwood stock black, 16" barrel and maybe offer the marinecoat finish as an option. Sell it at the Wally Worlds and Big Box Stores for a street price of around $350.00.
Made in the USA and not China or somewhere else!
Much, much better idea to me and I would think it would be a major sales success.

I'll second that.
Its just them getting lazy. Instead of focusing on making a top quality product they simply slap on some cheap "tactical" rails and call it a day hopeing people are clueless enough to buy their junk.
Its not just that it looks ugly or has no "traditional" quality.
Look at the rifle. It has rails everywhere except where you need them.
Even if you want to go total "mall ninja" on the rifle you still can't mount your $30 red dot on it.

This is the crux of the issue. Obviously I have no first hand experience with the new Tacti-Cowboy lever rifle, but I have checked out some of Mossberg's other offerings over the past few years (ATR, 4x4, and a couple of others). The finishes leave a lot to be desired, in my opinion, and, though this is second hand information, I have heard that they are not all that impressive as shooters (the reviews are all decent, of course, but all of the real people I have heard from have said the accuracy is sub-par). If they spent their development money on making their existing rifles competitive, they would probably be able to build up a good name in the rifle world. That improved name could make it so that questionable product releases (like the one that sparked this thread) would be met with less visceral negativity
