Hello!
I recently purchased an old Mossberg 500 Mariner shotgun (year 1992) with 6 shots of ability (5 + 1).
When I wanted to try it, I noticed that only 4 cartridges came in the magazine. I have tested with different brands, in case it was a problem of size since in Spain the 2 3/4 "cartridges are called 12/70, and the same there is difference, but also could not introduce more than 4 cartridges Hornady 12 Ga 00 Buckshot Superformance® (8 Pellets 2 3/4 "), American ammunition.
I think it may be a problem inside the tube even though I could not open it, I guess no one ever removed it and still has the factory loctite red. So before I started experimenting with a heat gun and a wrench to remove the Loctite, I would like to know if anyone else has had the same problem and what the possible solution is.
In case, if it were necessary to change the spring of the charger, I would order it, since it would have to come from the USA and it will take some time.
Thanks in advance and greetings!
