Mossberg 500 (very noob Question, maybe)

**mange** · 07-06-2017, 08:40

Good Morning guys,

I recently was able to bring my 500AB home and was playing around with it, I noticed something strange.
When I pump the for-end the trigger does not reset and I cant ''Dryfire'' it.

However if I tip the shottie upside down so the safety is pointing towards the floor, I do the exact same thing and the trigger resets every time........

I have only had the Shotgun now for 4 days and have never really played with any others so im not sure if there is something i should be worried about.

thoughts?

Yup, I'm thinking WTF is a Mossburg, and is it any different to the Mossberg in my safe?

Does it share any parts inter-changeability with Barretta, Bereta or Barret shotguns?

All jokes aside. Take it apart, clean it, inspect the trigger parts for damage, if none, lube it lightly and see if it starts working like a Mossberg.

So i stripped it last night, it was rather dirty!... cleaned everything up put a small amount of oil where needed .. and slapped it back together,
at first it did the same thing but after cycling it a few more times it started behaving normally.

Checked it again this morning and cycled properly first time
