Hi,
I'm a total newbie when it comes to shotguns. I'm generally an ar15 man. But this year I took the plunge and got a Mossy 590a1 20".
First question: Breaking in the 590a1. Is it ok to rack the pump a 1000+ times with lube ofc in order to slick'n up the pump? I've used a mix of mobil 1 5w30, mmo and a atf to work it. Got a tired arm from it. However, I have not shot it yet. I have used snap caps and they loaded and ejected just fine.
Second question: so, dry firing the 590a1 is ok? I have read many postings all over the net about dry firing a shotgun. either it's ok to do so or not. I did dry fire it a couple of time to cycle the action. It was way stiffer to cycle after dry firing than to just depressing the slide release. I guess the bolt lug needs to be worn down a bit? <-- possible 3rd question.
Any suggestions/info on maintaining a mossy and/or things to look if problems arise with the action of the shotgun is much appreciated.
Thanks!
