I would just like to comment on the service I got from Mossberg. I had traded for several guns including a Mossberg 500 with bottomland camo with a ventilated rib barrel. To my surprise I found out that the choke tube could not be removed no matter how I tried. I actually bent the wrench mossberg gives you for the little flush tubes. This is after letting the end of the barrel set in liquid wrench for a day, and heating it slightly over my gas stove. The tube wouldnt budge. Someone had been a bad boy and had never lubed the tube. I doubt it had ever been taken out. Probably shot it alot and it was seized tight. I sent it back to mossberg and they got it out and put a new choke in and even replaced the melted bead on the front sight with no charge and no shipping back to me. They didnt have to do it but did with no words and in short time. I give Mossberg a thumbs up and will buy their products and reccommend them in the future.
