Mossberg 500

Since the post about my steyr did so well compared to my other crappy posts, heres another one about my shotgun, the mossberg 500.  I bought it from big 5 with a 18.5" Barrel and a 28" barrel with a modified choke.  Out the door it was about 300.  Excellent value.  I've never actually used the short barrel, so just be satisfied knowing it's there.



The long barrel is amazing.  I take this thing trap shooting every so often and it always performs amazingly.  One of my friends once shot a 24 out of 25 with it.  Its a very lightweight gun because of the synthetic stock,  so it swings well.  It does kick quite a bit but if you've shot a rifle before you can probably handle a 12ga target load out of this.  Slugs are a different story as are buck, but as a big guy I really don't mind too much.  It has a huge squishy butt plate that makes it nice and soft on the shoulder.



With slugs its pretty accurate, and with buck you get a nice spread, but I'm not a hunter so I don't really give a good goddamn about that.  Tons of mods are available for it to make it into whatever level of tactical shotgun you want.  I'm also not a paranoid gun nut so I have no interest in turning my delightful sporting arm into a destructive device, like dis:



Thanks for the readz

  9. I've personally never been a fan of the assault shotguns myself, always just too bulky for my taste.

  11. Cause a standard amount of ammo for a shotgun isn't enough
