FJT02
.22LR
Just wanted to say that I am new to the forum and will be picking up my first Mossberg shotgun on Wednesday. I ordered a model 500 field/security combo. I plan to use for skeet and bird hunting as well as home defense with the 18.5 inch barrel. I was concerned with buying a mossberg since I did not know much about them but after doing a lot of research on the web and talking to some people, they come highly recommended. I can't wait to take it to the range. I also own a Beretta 92FS 9 mm pistol. Looking forward to adding the Mossberg to my collection. I am assumming that I should clean it first before shooting it, since it is a new in box. Do I need to take it completely apart or can I just clean the barrel and outside with Hoppe's gun cleaner and oil all moving parts? Any advice is appreciated! Thanks. Frank
