The Mossberg Model 500: History & Disassembly
I think I paid $179 + sales tax for my Mossberg 500 12 Ga., back in the early 1990's.

I have a Mossy 590SP.... it's not for ducks or bunnies, more like close-in and personal work.

But this retro one is on the short list, if I rebuild my collection that is. Still not a fan of that weird rear sight though. |

I don't know much about Mossberg Rifles, handguns or semi-auto shotguns but, I do know that their pump action shotguns are robust, and come in just about any configuration one can think of. I once owned a Coast To Coast Master Mag 12 Ga. (it was nothing more than a Mossberg 500 with the Coast To Coast Hardware badging). It was as good, if not better quality (wood, blued steel, smoothness), than my current Mossberg 500, and had a 30" barrel w/Full choke. I was a dumb ass for selling it. |

I will be looking for a 500 (in .410) this weekend at the funshow.
Only other Mossburg I own is an old Westernfield labeled semi-auto .22lr. Picked it up from a garage sale as a teenager.

I still own a 590 that looks like the new retro ones, no ghost sight. My favorite shotgun was a mossy 500 because they got the best tang safety and light to carry, sold it to friend who died never was able to get it back.
