I just finished reading all the past threads on the Mossberg 500 series shotguns. I noticed that a lot of folks think the 500 is not quite up to heavy usage. I, too, have wondered about this, and am going to use one (I own two of them) of my Mossberg 20 ga. pumps exclusively until I can get something to break. I think it may take awhile, as I plan to shoot 300 to 400 rounds per month through this gun. The gun already has 2,000 rounds through it with zero problems. I will report on this project periodically to keep us all informed of the progress that I have made. Hopefully, it will put to rest all of the 870 vs. 500 threads. And if the gun fails miserably, then I for one will be glad to know to steer clear of them.
