So I clocked out of work and....

[newdumdum9825]

*Title edit* clocked**

I ended up coming home with a brand new Mossberg 500 12G with a 28 in. Vent rib ported barrel with Accu-Choke, a nice light colored wood stock (walnut maybe?) and a brass colored trigger.... For $250! And it wasn't no private sale either, WALMART!! Lol

ik it's just a 500 but I felt like posting because its my first "new gun" I've purchased other than my 91-30 and SKS that I've bought.

Ill post a pic later (yes Ik they all are the same)
but the brass trigger is something I haven't seen or heard of, is this rare or normal for a 500 trigger?


bit fuzzy but it was taken on my iPhone

Nice. Some folks don't even like how the forestock rocks a little, some folks p refer it. I like the safety placement.
One thing's for sure, you won't wear it out.

Pretty normal...

I have the same sickness/weakness.

Pics no worky

Yeah, I remember years ago some guy at a trap shoot giving me hell because my 500 was sloppy. His winchester pump was tight as a can be. "That quality workmanship is far better than the sloppy crap Mossberg puts out."

By the end of the day he had a total of 3 misfeeds. Ive now had less than that in the 20 years Ive owned mine.

Congrats on a workhorse. The only regrets you will have is you didnt spend the extra $$ on a Mossberg 930.

With the prices on 930's still being up there, @ the price he got his @, he could buy two more 500's and be even.

Mossbergs just keep on truckin'. Good purchase.

 

[newdumdum9825]

I went to gander mountain the next day and saw the same 500 on the shelf for $400, and a used 20 was more than the price of my new one! So far the only problems Ive had with it is that I went straight to the field with it without patterning it or figuring out the double bead, first shot was high, missed, second shot I hit the squirrel but peppered it, the main focus of the damage was right behind his head so I considered it good enough since hardly any shot went through the skin..
other than that I'm goin down to get a rifled barrel with a cantilever scope mount for 150


best part is no FTF which was the reason for buying it

Does that squirrel look happy about this too or is it just me?


Nice shotgun!

Congrats for a fine investment! Have owned a plethora of shotguns, and the Mossberg 500s are a favorite. During the "Obama" scare of gun restrictions, I wanted to update my collection. Looked at LGS's and Cabelas, Bass Pro Shop, and saw the same shotgun at WallyMart. I paid the same as you, didn't wait more than 15 minutes to get the required Fed check, and they even carried it to the door! No complaints. I found a short barrel, new and original wrapper, on Ebay. Paid a whole $95.00, shipped to my front door, so now also have a Riot Version M500. Your stock is Birch wood. Again, you can easily find a different style on Amazon, or Ebay for decent prices. I see used ones go for $50-75, and sometimes they add the shipping. Good luck, and shoot straight!

OH YEAH!! Picked up a new Ruger 10/22 carbine with walnut stock for $235 at work!

but..... its on layaway right now till next payday. I didn't even plan on it, but we've had a stainless/synthetic one on the shelf for almost a month that for some reason noone wants but everytime we get a walnut one they sell quick, so it was more or less an impulse buy to reserve it as mine, even though I've been wanting a 10/22 for awhile now

. I paid the same as you, didn't wait more than 15 minutes to get the required Fed check, and they even carried it to the door! No complaints. !

Walking you to the door is like a security thing. When a new gun comes off the truck a manager must be present, the managers put the special trigger locks on em, and to bring em to the sales floor a manager carries or escorts the associate carrying it. Even though all these security measures could be bypassed.

Great score! It will serve you well. I to prefer the wood stock. Congrats on the score.

Yeah to me certain firearms look better in wood, and a 10/22 is one of em

Owned a 500 for 20 years, the only time it has ever malfunctioned was one box of cheep shells I bought once.
they are the deal of the shotgun world.

great buy!!!
