If you buy the Field Combo, it ships with two barrels: 28” and 18.” With the 28” barrel, the gun weighs 8.7 lbs and with the 18” barrel, it weighs 7.4 lbs. The Mossberg 500 comes as a 12-gauge, 20-gauge, and. The 500 comes with dual extractors, and the pump ejects fired shells and chambers a fresh round via the forend. Then, actuate the bolt release, and rack the forend to load a shell into the chamber. Loading is simple: you cock the action, press a lever by the trigger guard to unlock the action, and load the magazine. The shell lifter only lowers for a moment during the loading cycle when the slide is all the way back, so there’s no risk of catching your thumb or glove between the lifter and the magazine. Dual-action bars ensure reliable cycling, and the shell lifter keeps debris from collecting inside the receiver, making loading easier. The mag capacity is 5+1, but it also ships with a wooden stopper to permit loading only three shells, due to stricter hunting laws in some areas. If enhanced safety is important to you, you’ll be happy to hear that the action is manually operated, meaning you have to squeeze the trigger to fire each shot. The trigger is crisp, breaking at 6 lbs even, which is ideal for most uses. It’s easy to see, convenient to reach without moving your trigger finger, and naturally ambidextrous. The Mossberg 500 features a top-tang safety, mounted at the top near the rear of the receiver. The forend is a nice, tight fit on the action rails, and the serrated wood is easy to grip. Then, just put the new barrel in, screw the knob back into the tube, and pump the action. All you have to do is unscrew the magazine knob, pull the action down halfway, and twist the barrel to pull it off the receiver. The 500 has an infinite selection of aftermarket accessories and interchangeable barrels to allow complete customization, and you can switch the barrels easily. It handles smoothly, and feeds, fires, and ejects without issues. The Mossberg 500 is a high functioning shotgun, with a good balance between adaptability and consistency.
I’ve fired over 400 rounds with zero misfires!
While you should always keep up with proper cleaning and maintenance on your guns, this isn’t one of those shotguns you have to clean in between each use for reliability. It passed the MIL-Spec 3443 E test and it doesn’t rely on maintenance for reliability.
