I gave almost $400 for this new gun, which had been siting on the shelf well over a year unsold. Fortunately it had been well-oiled and the internals are nearly rust free.
Left to right the Mossberg 500 12 gauge breacher, the Benjamin Regal air rifle, and the new Savage Model 60 .22 semi-auto.
The forearm has a built-in flashlight made by Insight, which is probably just Chinese junk. The flashlight battery was missing, and I was told the light did not work. I haven't tested it because I don't have a battery and dont care.
I didn't much care because I knew that I didn't like that big chunky foregrip. It's just too big for my hand and I will likely replace it with something more Hollywood Tactical. For now I simply took it off.
Here she is all disassembled, except for the trigger and the bolt/extractors/pin.
When I put it back together I also left out this plug which really doesn't do a darn thing unless you are changing barrels all the time.
Since every tube fed gun I bought recently has had rust in the mag tube, I took this one apart and burnished it out good. I cleand the whole thing out nicely and put it all back together without the gunky plastic grip.
It took me a couple tries to get this back together the first time, and I had to stop and look at a diagram on the internet.
But this gun is certainly a Marvel of modern manufacturing and Design.
This one is intended as a home defense gun, and therefore it won't be shot too much once I get it broken in.
But I can see myself buying a more sporting version for fun at the range.
I want to get a different type of flashlight with a built in laser. But I don't know. Those sort of Electric things are so often the weakest part of the whole weapon system.
