| When I shoot my Mossberg 500 the slide comes back with the recoil. Any suggestions? And getting a new shotgun has occured to me, but I kinda like this old workhorse. |
| If you take your fire control group out, Press the slide release(after it's removed) And you'll see it moving. Look and make sure the spring isn't broke, and the the working end of the slide release is not worn/bent/damaged. It should move real easy. This may not be it but it is a start. |

It's supposed to. If I shoot slugs without holding onto the slide at all, the slide comes back hard enough to eject the empty. If you're someone who knows how to run a pump well, you use the recoil to start the action going. As you're coming back into full recoil, you should be hitting then end of the rearward motion of the slide. As you're recovering from recoil and bringing the sights back onto the target, you should be bringing the slide forward. Trust me. This works VERY well. I believe most pumps will do this, including the Remington 870 and the Winchester pumps. |
I agree with you completely here, but I was looking at it differently. I took the approach of it having no resistance, like something was broke, worn, or bent. |
same here, SUPERdamn fast! |

I bought a broken 590 at the gun show a few years back. The slide wouldnt lock at all. I sent it to Mossberg with a note telling them simply that my gun was broke and to please give me an estimate on repairing it. Never got the estimate. What I got was a brand new gun! No questions asked! I think they want guns of questionable quality out of the field for liability reasons. Might be worth a try! |
