RE: I am having to give up my .....
I can only tell you from my own experence.
I had one and a boy that works with me had one ( the main word is HAD one)they were junk guns.
they both had a problem with ejecting the spent shell and not loading a hot one.
Mossberg could not or would not fix them.[:@] I would rather have a slingshot to hunt with.or a single barrell shotgun,(because that was all I could get , was one shot.
