From a US based fan here, glad to see you putting that mossberg through the paces. I have a 500a that was my uncles and he is no longer with us. I wouldn’t sell that old tank for a million
When it comes to Shotguns the Europeans have in my opinion the greatest. However, one cannot deny the fact that the Mossberg 500, and the Remington 870 are what comes to mind for a pump action shotgun. Instantly subscribed.
All good, used pumps for years. Once you can rack letting the recoil help you will be a lot faster with the next shot. On corporate days the old Mossberg is a firm favourite. Get one it’s fun.
My father’s shotgun was a classic Mossberg 500. It is a vintage 1965 that he purchased new. He hunted with it for year’s, then my brother and I, then my son and now my grandson uses it some. It may not be understood by the English, but in America it’s like a well carried pocket knife. Everyone has at least one. They never fail and they are always ready. Thanks for another awesome review on a tough as nails American icon.
Won the Contract for USA Military Shotgun and is Carried by All US Troops, Coppers, and Sets behind the doors of basically all American homes in numbers and have been used to great Effect for us. I think someone famous once said America would be Impossible to Invade....there's a gun behind every Tree and bush here...and we know how to use e'm lol. Nice video, REALLY enjoyed the change of pace with An American Manufacturer. Thumbs way up! Thus always to Tyrants, In my Defens God me Defend!!!!
More than 12 million of these shotguns have been produced. The Mossberg 500 platform is incredibly popular here in the States. For both hunting, and self/home defense. I have two of them, including a retro 500 with beautiful walnut furniture. I’ve taken all sorts of game with it, and it sits beside my bed every night to protect my family.
This video made me smile almost as much as David! Speaking as an American, you captured our stereotype very well. I’m drawn to how you Brits do things, though. Thanks for great content!
My goodness David, for all the years I have been watching your channel I have never seen you have so much fun. And to think it is all because of a Moseberg 500. I know I enjoy mine all the time but watching this video is a real kick in the pants.
I've owned both Remington 870 and Mossberg 590 pumps and had to sell both during tough financial times. I found the Mossberg a little more ergonomic due to its top tang safety and slide release at the back of the trigger guard. Using Canadian made Challenger rifled slugs I once shot a 2-1\2" group at 100m from the bench with factory ghost ring sights. As to which shotgun is a better value is still up for debate but I lean toward the Mossberg.
I've had a Mossberg 500 Flex for a few years now as a spare gun, take it out occasionally for a round clays instead of the Miroku and always come away smiling 😁.
I love this channel. It just got better. I found this trying to get into english "double" shooting with skeet and trap and now theyre buying american pump guns and messing with them. Awesome 🤣
Just found this video, never thought I would see Dave rolling about on the floor, brilliant! Am used to getting odd looks at my local clay ground, my friend and I get called the Zulu hunters when we are shooting our Greener GP's, both also shoot Hammer guns. Neither of us have an Over and under but we do have a brace of pumpers. He has a Mossy 500 and I have a Hatsan Fieldhunter with 26 inch barrel in 20gauge. Still getting used to it but like its light weight, ease of maintenance but they are different! Nice to know we would not be evicted should we come over to OGC!
Great video and looked liked so much fun. I have only been shooting a couple of months and got my collection under way o/u , sxs, and a single. Now after this I need a pump looked so much fun haha
My first shotgun... my dad bought it for me in 1998 and I still have it and it's still shooting to this day! My dad passsed away in the 1999 and I recently went through his wallet and found the receipt in there $180.00 at Walmart (maverick made by mossberg)
Here in America pumps are very common. Having fun should be at the top of the list when it comes to shooting sports. Pumps are a great way to bring younger folks into the sport (low cost, easy to clean and safe). And what about that AWESOME sound of the slide action! Good video David and keep having fun!
it is loads of fun. do some basic research on how to shoot before going to try one or recoil can beat you up a bit (with higher brass and slugs especially). lighter loads like bird shot are easy. "push pull" technique, leaning slightly forward, hold it tight to body on shoulder/chest, cheak weld, push forward on pump, and pull back into you on trigger hand aka push pull technique. otherwise, just have fun and be safe🙏💚
Cheers ole chaps from across the pond .glad to see your new.found fun with the good ole mossberg a tool of.many generations handed down here in the states still have my pops.model.850 i have a 835 3.12 inch camo turkey gun need to shoot one of.those will rap your shoulder harder.than one.of.those 45 cal rigbys
Hi David! Good fun video, no problem with cast and comb then (joke). I would like to try a pump action and I know my son would love me to get one. I can see where your friend is coming from as it is a practical gun and a utilitarian workhorse. They do look really well constructed and as a pump action is a lot easier to look after and maintain. Nice 1, keep up the good informative work!
Great stuff David, and yes, more similar content on the channel please. I was going to ask if these were welcome at the club and now I know. I’ll be buying one and tbh I don’t care if I don’t hit many clays with it. It’s the fun element of that action I’m after
I am from the usa 5 mosmergs a 500 in 410 20 and 12 as well as two you unfortunately can't have a cruiser 20ga (maverick 88) but is a even more affordable mossberg it is still 500 based there are some minor differences. and a shockwave (590) 20ga. They are by far the most reliable guns i own. They just work i want to get a shockwave in 410 next.
. Well that was a side of you David I never thought I'd see ... Shooting is and can be fun, there are many disciplines..I wouldn't advocate turning up at a game day with anything other than a SxS or OU... But a day on clays or rough then any gun is acceptable.... I take out and shoot all mine at my local clay ground, my scores differ accordingly but I enjoy all my guns and have fun. Guns: Blaser - OU Breda - SxS Benelli - Semi Browning - Pump Maverick (Mossberg) - Bolt WW Greener - Martini (All in 12 guage) Shooting is fun, and if we don't embrace the fact as a Sport then it will be to its detriment.
i’ve just put a variation in for a fac hushpower to be my every day gun when at work. the easiest thing i’ve found to shoot from the hip is rabbit targets which most people struggle to hit from the shoulder !
Hi Dave Thanks for doing a pump action, has requested, very interesting. Have been thinking about getting one just for fun at a shooting on. Clays. It would be nice to see you do around of clays using one, in a normal way, just to see what you think of it.
Hi David, i've never seen you have so much fun reviewing a shotgun, that's what it's all about. Just wondering how it performed on the longer targets being a cylinder bore barrel? Great vid you guys.👍
Nearly all mossbergs have a select a choke tube screw in whatever you want i believe a imp cyl modified and full co.e with a new gun that is common here in the states i shoot a extra full in turkey gun turkeys have been taken at 85 yards 3 4th of a football field with that choke and turkey loads
@@buckshotaaa I have a 590, and although nearly all come with cylinder bore, you can swap barrels out, for something threaded for chokes, partially or even full rifled. @taofledermaus has done a lot of different ballistic testing with shotguns and often times the mossberg 590 has a fully rifled barrel to see how it will impact a new/unique slug they try. cheers, hope this sheds some light 👍 ps the 18-20 inch cylinder bores def have a hard time keeping up with traditional clay shooting guns, but good shooters can still get hits. and as soon as you swap the barrel, it hangs with the best of em. one thing to note also is they are super loud compared to longer barreled guns may surprise fellow shooters at the range with louder blasting
I have a maverick 88, which is virtually identical to the 500 series except for some minor differences and some parts made in Mexico (still built in the US). Bought it for $300 and it came with two barrels, 28" and 18.5". Never thought of using it for skeet, until I had some visitors and I needed an extra shotgun. I was surprised by how much fun it was. I have to say I also had a 940 JM Pro, and I was much less impressed. It was a good gun, except it jammed. A lot. So I traded it in on a Benelli M2. There are other RUclips channels that run real torture tests on the Mav 88. The short of it is, they are hard to break indeed.
the first commercially successful/well known pump is the 1897, however, spencer and roper* made the first pump shotgun, patent 1882, sold 369 in 1884. Spencer is famous from spencers rifle co, the spencer repeating rifle used in civil war. after that, having got no stock in the spencer rifle co, despite it bearing his name and using his inventions, he left seeing business trend down after civil war and his old rifle design becoming obsolete. He met a man sylvester H. roper, who patented the first ever shotgun chokes, and was from new hampshire. roper and spencer tried revolver style shotguns and also had a metal company which had some troubles, and spencer bought the company from roper, where he made and sold 4 shot shotgun revolvers. they also focused on making parts for other gun makers, with a man named billings for years, until 1880, roper came back around to spencer with early pump prototype that they refined and improved together. after a few rounds of prototypes, roper figured out the magazine tube, they got financing for it in 1883 and by 1884 hired employees and began manufacturing it august 1884 at a rate of 5 to 10 per day 👍
Glad to see you gentlemen enjoying the pump action design. Wish the clays were visible (most are not). I use a Remington Wingmaster for off the shoulder action. Perry Pappous, SoCal, USA
@@joeruiz4010 Hi in the UK 2+1 is on a shotgun licence but 5+1 classed as a firearm, so the same as a rifle and therefore way harder to get unfortunately
"You cannot break a mossberg" Maybe not by running it over, but the parts wear out fairly quickly by putting shells through them. A very good hare shooting gun, but lots of parts fail in these things when put under normal duck shooting conditions here in nz. I moved on fairly quick after owning one of these.
We do just fine with them here in America. Basically any of the most common problems with these shotguns can be fixed with spare parts and maybe a trip to Harbor Freight and a RUclips video tutorial if need be. You can’t do that with its main competitors in its range.
Fun video but if you want a real pump gun, get yourself an old winchester model 12 or better yet, an Ithaca model 37... in any gauge. These plastic fantastic mossbergs are great guns but they are pale shadows in comparison to a model 37.
Pump gun = great for foul weather waterfowling. Bottom feed/eject Ithaca and Browning, even better for dropping spent hulls in the blind and not in the water or muck.
I have a Mossberg Maverick 88 & I just recently bought a Mossberg 590 SP!👍🏻🇵🇷
