I recently "inherited" a family mossberg 500 originally made and purchased shortly after I was born in the late 80's. Mind you this weapon had never once been cleaned, had moved across country several times and was shot quiet a bit. When I recieved it it still cycled and functioned like a champ. A little TLC and a THOROUGH inspection and to be honest it's one of my favorite firearms now... that's just my experience, I still plan to buy a 870 Marine version in the near future but it definitely made me respect Mossberg for making relatively inexpensive all-american firearms, something that I didn't before.
