I prefer the feel of the remington 870 but the Mossberg 500 series is also good. the safety of the mossy is arguable better, being tang mounted. but an aftermarket pistol grip makes the safety much less accessible.
shit thats news to me. what issues do you see come up the most?ts-pulsar wrote:
And I hate to burst bubbles, but the Mossberg 500 is POS. The only thing good i have to say about it is that it's cheap to fix when it breaks, which it will do. Mossberg has never produced a quality firearm, I say this as a gunsmith who is fixing these pieces of crap on a daily basis.
i have put a nice number of rounds though it, say at least 2000, and the only issue i have had is with the safety.
im sure you are familiar with that particular type of safety.....anyway, when i shot it, the safety, from the force of the gun, would engage.
my solution was to take out the screw and put on some loctite i have for my knives, and then screw it in as hard as i could without stripping it.
seemed more like a manufacturing error than anything.
but i want to know what to look out for before anything happens.
really? ill have to call them and tell them off tomorrowts-pulsar wrote:

The mossy has a much weaker locking system than the 870, and it tends to crack the locking block. This is potentially very dangerous, if the locking block decides to let go, the gun will likely open up, very violently when fired, likely launching things out of the gun. The action bar is also a bit cheesy and tends to break often. And then there is the safety.Parker wrote:

This isn't to say the 870 is without issues, the newer ones tend to have tight chambers, which makes extraction difficult. The shell latches also have some issues, but they are manufacturing defects 99% of the time.
Really, the reason I like the 870 is because it's a sound design, when properly fitted it doesn't have any weak spots, whereas the 500 even when fit properly still has weak spots.
