Just how tough is a 500?

[JayC]

I don't know if anyone here watches this guy on YouTube, but he has subjected that shotgun to all sorts of abuse. It just keeps on going. He just posted a compilation video of everything he's done to it until now. It's a cool video that shows just how tough the 500 is.

Cool video.

Not quite sure I would call it a torture test as I'm not sure how most of what he did was any harder on the gun than just shooting it normally.

The 500 is much like a Timex,
"Takes a licking and keeps on ticking"

My 500 is dated from 1973, been rode hard and put away wet, never have had a single failure. rock solid.

That has to be the best 500 video on the web. Can't kill a 500.

Yeah...OK LOL!!! I recall my Dad saying about being a teen in the 30's and knocking over outhouses and being chased by a angry farmer with a shotgun and rock salt loads LOL. I had thought about using "Grape Nuts" as a "Less than Lethal" load (joke) LOL, but I've seen it all now LOL!!!
