Mossberg Shotguns

But with the response time of "east tennessee's finest" I would have to make sure I opted the police enough time to leave the BP gas station's VIP lounge in order they have enough time to travel a few miles down the road to my house.

They have always had a plastic trigger housing, and it works just fine.

The aluminum reciever is not an issue.

Correct on both counts, Steven. I thought that the old beater had a metal triggerguard, but after perusing it, it is plastic, but the "seam" is on the inside, whereas on my 590 it's on the outside. The old one is shinier as well; the 590 has more of a subdued look to it, perhaps to match the finnish. And there is nothing wrong with an aluminum receiver, far as I'm concerned

I'm pretty sure that Mossberg 590s and 500s are in service. Their website actually mentions "the Persuaders are virtual duplicates of the proven Mossberg® military 500® and 590® models -- the only pump-action shotguns ever to pass all stringent U. S. Military Mil-Spec 3443 standards."

Was not referencing Govt. Contracts in general, was referencing the one specific to the 590-A1, which is for U.S. Marine Corps shotguns.

Having served in the US Navy, I am well aware that Mossberg supplies/supplied shotguns to the fleet. That did not seem germane to the discussion.

I own one..have had no problems what so ever with it. The primary gripe about the gun is the plastic saftey swith on the top of the stock can possibly break. Any gunsmith can easily repair this with a metal one. My plastic saftey has had no problems...its a great gun..

I found an instruction manual for constructing a "fougasse" directional anti-personel mine out of 2" galvanized steel pipe, black powder, and shipyard confetti . . . but when I used it against a previous wave of ninjas, the acrid smoke made my apartment uninhabitable . . . I had to open all the windows and run exhaust fans for 2 days!

The C4 in the Claymore burns a lot cleaner . . . but C4 is difficult to make at home (even though I once saw plans for how to whip up a batch of RDX on your kitchen stove, I'm not quite that brave :eek:).

There was some kid in my town a while back who was trying out for the Darwin awards, Mixing explosives at his house in a glass container & stirring it with his hand. . . Small explosion got him glass inlay in his belly and the attention of the police.

Years ago, my next door neighbor read about how to make black powder out of sulfur, saltpeter, and charcoal . . . as the components are all rather lumpy, he decided to pulverize 'em in his Mom's electric blender. . . .
 
Sorry but to me money for money a remmy beats mossy every time, all the time. I find them all the time at pawn shops for under $150 sometimes less than $125. Old wingmasters, made with talented hands, smooth as silk, perfect for modding up. Why buy anything else but maybe a Ithaca.
