@@TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsmen Props to you on this. I've had a Mossberg 500 for years now and this is the way to do it! :) I've shot trap/skeet and have a riot barrel for home defense.. just a superior weapon that is easy to breakdown and about as dependable as it ever gets.
I've been looking for a video like this, no one explains and shows you exactly how to do it, you did a great job now I can get my gun cleaned. Thank you
I have around 1000 rounds of shells through this mossberg and was always intimidated about stripping it down due to never have been properly shown how. Your video has now taught my son and I to easily disassemble and reassemble this weapons and has now made me like my shotgun all over again.
This video was the best disassemble and reassemble video for the Mossberg 500. Watched 4 videos and 3 of those forgot to include vital steps in the process or just wouldn’t show the video of it. Thank you for your service sir
Just followed the video instruction on my own Mossberg 500 cause something was up with the safety, i feel a great sense of satisfaction of disassembling and reassembling my shotgun. Quick, to the point and informative. Thanks buddy.
Thank you for this. I’ve had my Mossberg 500 for years. It’s a youth model that all 7 of my kids used for duck hunting. It is the most annoyingly difficult gun to clean. Your video did a great job of showing me how to put it back together.
i am barley getting into firearms, i bought a mossberg 500 for home protection and I must say that this information is going to be very helpful when it comes to maintaining my firearms and equipment
First I'd like to say that I'm really impressed that you have used the correct nomenclature for every part throughout this video. OUTSTANDING! So many people who produce content like this are just making up names more often than not. However, a couple of points I'd like to make is that the First Step and Last Step of every procedure with a firearm should be to CLEAR the firearm. Clear before disassembly and after reassembly. Clear before a Function Check and after the function check. Safety comes first and last. Also, you didn't test your safety on the function check, and a full function check would include the use of dummy rounds to insure that the cartridge stop and interrupter are both working as well as the elevator, extractors and ejector.
I appreciate the feedback! Wish I had some dummy rounds when I made these videos, that’s a good idea. You’re not the first person to mention “clearing”. I’m always trying to find the middle ground between over-explanation and too little info. I think I will add a clearing portion to any future disassembly videos. Thanks for watching!
I just broke my firearm into pieces, and when I put it back together, I immediately need to "clear" it? I'm all for safety but unless a round magically found it's way into the chamber during assembly there is absolutely no reason to clear on reassembly 😂
this is the best video bro, I loved the camera angles and explanation, I came here because I couldnt install the cartridge stop I was following another video instructions and the guy had the bolt and bolt slide all the way back and it didnt fit hahah with your video it took me less than 5 minutes to reassemble my mossberg, thank you
I am always amazed when I successfully re-assemble a Mossberg. It's like playing a game of reverse Jenga. This video will be a huge asset for me. Thanks.
Just got mine back together. The 410 has an ejector on the left side also and mine broke. Had to watch your video to get it back together. Thanks for posting
Best video so far on a rather complex action. Coming from a remmy 870, the 500 does have quite a bit of loose parts, however I prefer it as it's easier to clean everything
Best video I've seen on the breakdown of the Mossberg 500/590 including naming the parts. Long story short a buddy borrowed mine but had to give it back to me disassembled after a few months. Something looked missing. Now I know it's the cartridge interrupter and cartridge stop that i need to order. Excellent job.
@TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsmen Good news, bad news scenario. The parts are readily available but mine is a Marinecote tactical and I don't think those parts are available in the Marinecote finish anymore. I'll call Mossberg to find out.
@brandonbanark9370 I couldn't find the Marinecote parts on Mossberg's site so I ordered regular ones from Midwest Gun Works (MGW). First time I ever dealt with them and they were great. I was still determined to get the Marinecote finish parts so I called Mossberg. Turns out you have to call for the Marinecote parts. They had one in stock and they were waiting for restock of the other part which they might have by now. Hope this helps.
Thank you for the details and camera angles on the reassemble. This was the only video I found that could guide be back through assembly. Preciate ya bud. I subscribed just for this.
Had a problem with mine. Once you would work the action to load the next shell, it would dump the magazine. Took it apart, went to reassemble and the trigger group DID NOT want to go back in without a getting rough with it. Pulled it back apart and inspected.... the interrupter was bent from Mossberg. Straightened it out, reassembled, and the trigger group went in nicely. Now it feeds one at a time just as intended. Thanks for the video. It was very helpful.
@@TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsmen , it was bowed in the middle. It was bent so that each end was toward the receiver wall keeping it from being able to work with the action.
I just got me a 500 retrograde she’s a beaut but I’ve been wondering how to do a full disassemble to clean it since I got it. The assembly was easy enough but I’m used to benellis from working at a gun shop. I usually just put em together tho 😂 I wouldn’t have guessed there is that much to a Mossberg but your video is awesome! Thanks man!
good video bro 💪 great camera angle and quality commentary. had an old mossberg handed over to me.. going to strip it and polish it and put new wood on it. restoring the old beast. will be fun to give it new life
I just wanted to let you know how much I *APPRECIATE* this video and am thankful to you, brother! I have been banging my head against an assembly problem with a 590 for a few years now... Basically, a few years back, I got my Dad a quite basic 590 for "Home Defense" ... the idea was that he had a basic, dead-nuts reliable firearm with 6-7 rounds of 12ga. 00 Buck in an emergency (which, unless you're some big-shot getting your shit invaded by mercenaries, should be enough...) - and a year or so later, I bought him a flashlight fore-end for it ... and the fore-end wasn't up to spec, and wouldn't install properly... but the instructions had me disassembling the entire firearm (which wasn't at all necessary, but he's big on Following The Instructions etc.) - and when I finally said, "Fuck this, this isn't going to work, let's just put it back together, it's a perfectly-good shotgun without the light..." ... it would NOT FUCKIN REINSTALL... I just *COULD NOT* get it back together. Embarrassing. I'd try for hours, get mad, throw it in a corner, forget about it for a few months. Try again one day, same, etc. - And then I realized, I was only using the Brownell's video for reference. I watched yours and had it back together in 5 minutes. Just went outside and put a box of birdshot through it, all good. THANK YOU. It SHAMES ME to admit I needed help putting a gun back together but I did, and your video made the difference. Thanks again very much brother, God Bless. 💛 🖤💯🍻🏴☠
This was great , thank you. I had to loosen the stock screw on my 41 year old 500 , the screw and wood not the cross pin was catching the rear of the trigger pack.
Yeah it’s been a great firearm. I bought it new and it had never been stripped apart until I found your well explained video. Then I found another video on what to do if the trigger pack won’t come out, which I had to loosen the stock a bit.
Thank you very much for the clear video and instructions. The directions that came with the 500 are utterly useless and I never world have gotten the firearm back together with just those.
My Sister has one it's why I'm watchin this and very well explained and I feel comfortable doin the process and puttin it back. But she wanted to what does she need to clean it with and line it up. It's a bit rusted on the outside but I wanna assume my the inside needs some cleanin too. Any products she needs to maintain it and clean it up? Its not an 18.5inch but, a 28' Barrel. Please and Thank but, Thank You on the Break down and explanation as well
Thanks, question, do you grease lightly or oil film the high wear locations , my action catches and sticks a bit from full open to closing attempt with less than a box fired in 20+ years,
Nice ,in my old days thats how I remember it ,an a 870 Remington, now with that said it may be confusing when on some the bolt comes out on the pump arms,,please show different take downs on other models,,great stuff ,
Use magnets to hold the cartridge interrupters in place. Place a magnet on each side of the upper receiver where the cartridge interrupters are. Works every time.
I have a Mossberg 500 12ga purchased around 1970, it has a shallow band soldered to the magazine tube that acts as a forward stop for the fore-grip. Must be these early models had this & was later deleted. To remove fore-grip & action bars you have to unscrew the magazine tube from the receiver. Just thought some others may have seen this too.
This is the only video on all of RUclips that made sense lol.
I always had a hard time finding good disassembly videos, so I started making my own. Glad you liked it!
@@TheGreatAmericanOutdoorsmenyes thank you?

I would oil all the sliding points, that should help. I never use grease though, it collects a lot of dirt and in my opinion oil is easier to clean.
Got it! Had to slide the foregrip ahead halfway!
Glad it worked out!
