I had an older 20ga that would occasionally jump like crazy, and one day while shooting one of my friends noticed that the recoil pad was creeping during the shot. I changed the pad which helped, and then a few days later an older gent taught me the push-pull grip, and just like that I was happily knocking down 4-5 more clays on a regular basis. It quickly went from a gun I wanted to sell to one I want to give my grandkids...
Yes sir. When I first brought it home from the gun show the recoil pad was rock hard. I replaced it with a limbsaver before ever attempting to shoot it lol. There are a few other things I don't like about the gun so I guess I am just hunting for a reason lol. I hunt in extremely sandy conditions and after 1 day the shells don't cycle. I have also already had the little arms (extractors i think) in there and the slide assembly wear out. Took for ever to get a slide assembly that would fit correctly without sanding. The only thing I really like is the pattern it throws. A newer version with updated parts might be just what the dr ordered lol plus Mossbergs won't break the bank. I love the overbored barrel and I was looking at the Brownings as well but at well over twice the price I am not sure I could convince the wallet to let loose lol
