i have a mossberg 590 tactical. just recently i noticed the shells were staying stuck in the mag and not being chambered. so i can only shoot what i load directly into the chamber. from what i can tell the cartidge stop is not flexing outward when i pull the forearm back raising the elevator to release a shell into the chamber. in fact the cartidge stop sticks out and makes it hard just to load shells. the shells rub on it and they just dont load smoothly. also when disassembling the gun, i have noticed the elevator doesnt want to come out without pushing one side inward and then pulling up. it is rubbing metal otherwise. its like its bent or there is a flaw somewhere. i was wondering if the elevator should smoothly slide up before pinching to release. my main thing overall is i wanted to know the relationship between the elevator and the cartidge stop because i feel like this is the problem. one or both of them. i am fairly new at this so if any of you know a lot about this your input would be great thanks
Does anyone out there own a pump action Maverick shotgun made by Mossberg? I bought one alone with 3 choke tubes at a very good price. The gun is a 12 gauge with a black, synthetic forearm and stock. The man I bought it from told me it’s shoots a little to the left, (4-5 inches), which it does. It has a ventilated rib, with 2 beads on the rib. The first bead is alright. The bead on the end of the barrel is defineatly not in the center of the rib. It’s offset to the left a little. I went to Wal Mart and saw that they had 1 just like mine. I looked at it and the bead on the end of the barrel was about a quarter of an inch long and made out of white, irredescent plastic. I’m thinking someone broke the original bead, and installed this little metal tip of the end of my gun. I’ve owned shotguns with irredescent sites before. Can anyone else confirm that they have this type of Mossberg and that the bead on the end of the barrel is made out of irredescent plastic? Thx alot.

Yeah, mine has the small brass pin also. At the end of the barrel, it has a pin just like the brass one, but it’s black. Thx for all the links about Truglo and HIVIZ. I chatted with someone at Cabela’s, and there going to start sending me the catalog again. Thx everybody that answered.
I have a Remington spr100 single-shot shotgun, break action. When the action is open, the forearm is tight, but when closed, the forearm wiggles slightly. Is this normal.
(fore-stock)
It’s in very good to excellent condition. What’s it worth? I paid 5 for it. Was that a good deal. it has about a 20" barrel and an extended magazine.
What is it worth?
gordon b, actually the pawnshop I deal with here in Arkansas always gives me unbelievable deals. The Benelli was on consignment from a man with a big medical bill. If I had wanted to be an @ss I probably could have got him down some, but that wouldn’t be right. I also got an FAL L1A1 in new condition from another consignment there for, get this, 0. Both these deals were out the door, tax included. I could tell you even more but y’all might come here and swipe all the good deals out from under me. OK, one more. About three years ago I was at a yard sale and this guy had a brand new Ruger Vaquero with 4-1/2" barrel in .44 magnum with the ivory-like factory grips in the box and I talked him down to 0, I sh!t you not. Everything is cheap in Arkansas!
JD, it’s got the beavertail wood forearm, full length wood stock with sling slot cut in the side. A rifle like front sight and a wierd arched rear sight. That’s about it.
I have a sears model 66 12 gauge semi auto shot gun what choke setting should I use for slugs? and where can I find a new forearm stock for it? I think that’s what it’s called.
