Took my Mossberg 500 out for the second time ever this morning.
Put three in the tube and racked one. Went to pull the trigger but the trigger was already in the "fired" position. By that I mean, it didn't appear to be cocked. At first, I thought I might not have taken the safety off, but it wasn't the case. In any event, the trigger wasn't "locked" in place where I couldn't pull it, it was like it hadn't even been cocked. It was just kinda limp.
A couple of weeks ago, I did a field disassembly to clean it and familiarize myself with the internals, and did have some trouble getting the bolt slide and slide arms to attach. That said, I eventually got it to take and it passed a function test. I watched the youtube video and also had/have the manual handy.
Last point of stupidity on my part. I didn't see the notice about not pulling the trigger while the assembly was out of the receiver. Not sure if that is just a "hey, don't do that" or a "hey, don't do that or you're screwed beyond belief".
I'm thinking I should disassemble again and hope for the best, but am also thinking I need to have someone competent look at it, just to be sure.
Anyone ever experienced this with their Mossberg?
