If it is 1/2 as dependable as a 500 I should be good. I have always ben a 500 fan [ I own 6 of them right now. 1 410. 2 20's and 3 12's ] and last year was the first time I owned a semi auto mossberg [9200] I liked the way the 9200 shot, but hated the way I had to push the button when...
I am now a member of the 930 family. I received this combo set as a Christmas gift. However unlike most of the pics I see in this thread, this 930 will not be a home protection firearm. This one will be my deer killing machine [replacing my 9200, wich replaced the 500 12 g, wich replaced the 500...
Thanks LAZY EYED SNIPER. It started out warm and foggy, but ended up a nice day. I seen plenty of deer over the two days, [almost 100 deer] but nothing over a 8 point [130 class] so I didn't even pull the trigger.
This is what it looked like before the fog burned off.

Last weekend started the 2012 shotgun/deer season in Iowa. While I was in the woods I decided to snap a couple pics of my hunting buddies. XDm 40 and a Mossberg 9200.

A little better look at the oldie but goodie 9200.
Re: Disassembly and reassembly of a mossberg 500.
You're welcome Sn3. I don't think I ever red the procedure from the manual, :lol: . Glad the thread helped.
Re: Disassembly and reassembly of a mossberg 500.
Sorry about the delay in answering everyone's questions/comments. A death in the family has kept me away for an extended period of time. I will once again try and check in more often.

Re: Disassembly and reassembly of a mossberg 500.
I usually find pieces of weeds and corn stalks and stuff like that in the 500's when I am cleaning a bird hunters gun. It always amazes me how much stuff can gather in there before they stop working. It reminds me of a AK47.
Re: Disassembly and reassembly of a mossberg 500.
Thanks for the complement Rossignol, and you're welcome. The only real time consuming part was the downloading of the photos to photobucket. Since my cheap butt is still on dial-up it took almost 3 hours, :lol: .
Re: Disassembly and reassembly of a mossberg 500.
You're welcome humblePie. You are correct, the sharing of information and of lifes experiences is what its all about. Thank you for the kind words.
Re: Disassembly and reassembly of a mossberg 500.
You are quite welcome CC. I know how many people own 500's and I hope this helps them, plus save them a few bucks at the gunsmith shop when it comes time for a cleaning. I only charge 20 bucks to do this job but I know of some that charge...

I've also painted a few guns with duracoat . One thing I did was warm the disassembled receiver with a hair dryer. Then quickly paint it while still warm.
Use multiple thin coats.
Good luck on your project.

Ninja Steve, I break them in just as you posted. Disassemble everything , clean , oil and reassemble, then shoot the heck out of it. Then repeat.
One thing to remember is don't over oil it. If you do and you are out in freezing temps the oil may jell and/or freeze and the gun wont fire. During...
Thanks for the welcome all.
I just finished putting the back 1/2 of the folder stock and the extended tube and barrel on that little pistol grip 500. Here's a new pic of it.
I own both. When I hit the range for some paper punching the marlin is the one I take. When I am just out at the farm can dancing the mossy gets some attention. While I am a mossberg fan, I am also a Marlin fan.
There is no comparison between the mossy 702 and Marlin 60. Marlin wins in...
