Thanks Tom. Let me know. What model did you get?

Thanks for the info....not sure which one I am going with yet.

I am looking for a new recoil pad for my brand new Mossberg 500. I shot about 50 rounds of target load yesterday to break her in and my shoulder is slightly bruised. I am a fairly big guy and I could take the kick, but I would much rather just enjoy the shooting with a little less kick. Also...

I will post some pics soon.

UPDATE: I just received my replacement wooden stock from Mossberg today. Everything looks fine and I am planning on trying out the gun tomorrow for the first time. David at Mossberg was very good and helpful with my issue. He even sent me the new stock via 2 day Fed Ex instead of the normal...

inline300, I almost left it with the dealer. He did say he would take care of it but also said that I could take it home, shoot it with the cracked stock, and mossberg would send me a replacement. I thought this was the better option, but what the dealer did not realize was that I would first...

Hello and welcome from NJ! I am new also and just bought a 500 field/security combo.

Thanks again to all for the warm welcome!

Re: Lube question from newbie Thanks. I was also thinking of using a product called Eezox. It is supposed to be a really good rust prohibitor as well as a cleaner and lubricator. It bonds with the metal to not allow moisture to penetrate, thus eliminating the potential for rust. I used it...

Re: Lube question from newbie Thank you Ripsnortr for the advice. I'm assumming that Hoppe's gun oil is sufficient?

Lube question from newbie Hello, I have watched a few of the disassebly and reassembly videos for the Mossberg 500 and was wondering if any of the parts should be lubricated when putting them back together. During the few videos I have seen as well as detailed pictures, I have not seen anyone...

Great info! I'm sure you are right. I will attempt this as soon as I pick up the gun on Wednesday. I will keep you posted. Thanks again!
