MossBERG 500 help!

Toons · 07-08-2003, 01:25 PM

Hi Guys,
I bought a " MOSSBERG 500" some months back it worked fine with reguler shelles but when i used long brass (2 3/4) especialy steel shots with MAX DR.EQU It started to jam and the pump doesn,t pull . I took it back and they put up a new beral but same result![:@]
Now they gave me the choice Either another new one in the box Or money back and go for different gun
I need some feedback to help make up my minde up!

Sounds like a bad weapon to me. I' d opt for them to replace it.....but only if they give me a receipt!

I' ve owned lots of Mossbergs with bunches of success, so I wouldn' t be afraid of another.

I concur. Everyone makes a lemon now and again. As long as they remedy the problem to your satisfaction then I wouldn' t hold a grudge. I have several Mossbergs as well and have never had a problem.

I' ve saw a couple of Mossbergs that wouldn' t function right straight out of the box. It' s your call but I' d feel better with an Remington 870 Express. I' ve saw less problems with the 870' s than the Mossberg 500' s.

personally, I would go with the 870 Exp also....I' ve never had trouble out of them.
