My LGS has a Mossberg 500 combo w/2x barrels. For a decent price, I already own a 870 and its a very solid shotgun. The Mossberg just feels and looks cheap, no crome/metal lined barrel, the blued looks cheap on it. My 870 is park and makes it look "more solid". Also the Reciver is Alum not Metal like a 870.

Are they worth it? I could order one off the web but by the time I pay ship+ffl I am only looking at $20 difference or so. I saw another at a different gunshop for $30 more!

The other thing caught my eye was an RPK at another gun shop, for under $700 and that looks very cool.
