do NOT buy a mossberg shotgun. i have shot 2 seperate mossbergs, and in both, they have failed me for the same reason. while hunting/trap shooting, one in the chamber, one or more in the magazine. shoot the first shell, pump to load the second, but the shell stop gives out, releases too early, when the arm comes down to grab the shell, it knocks it out of the bottom (b/c it was released early), and doesnt load anything
i wouldnt have a problem if this happened on one gun, but it has happened on 2 seperate mossbergs ive fired
ive had 2 or 3 870s over the years, down to one right now, and i love it. i just dont get to fire it much anymore.
