Re: M500 won't load shells
Here's a thread on fixing the cartridge stop, and I'm positive that this is your problem... even the new one from Mossberg is probably still bent in such a way that it's not allowing shells to drop in... and even causing the bind with your action bar. Bend the stop just a hair to the right (when looking at it from the bottom as it's sitting in the receiver) and this should elevate your issue. Also inspect your action bar right at the point where it becomes wider.... this is what actuates the cartridge stop, and if there's excessive wear, this could cause the bar to jump in front of the stop... Got any pictures?
