Excited to have just bought my first mossberg 500A. I read how great and reliable these guns are and I'm putting it to the test. I searched weeks online about what to get and there is a big debate about that. Mossberg owners won me over however. I just bought mine used well very very used. 125$ because it was locked up and painted looked like with a roller by a 5 year old. It had playschool type grips on it and wouldn't hardly even move. So when I say testing this gun I mean just that. I have since tore it down cleaned stripped oiled moved every thing on it in it. I purchased some needed and not needed accessories to add and complete it. Awaiting them via mail. I will let you know how it goes the next week!!!! Thanks
