I have a Mossberg 500 that I bought 2 years ago from Academy for a home defense weapon. I practice with it all the time, I have put somewhere in the neighborhood of 400-500 rounds thru it, both 00 buck and 3" slugs and the only thing that has "loosened up" is my wallet when I have to buy more ammo. I do clean it religiously after each use, but otherwise I beat it up pretty good and it has yet to fail me.TraCoun wrote:Word out of our shotgun range folks is that these shotguns tend to loosen up after a relatively few rounds (500 or so) and start going downhill.
