Mossberg 500A ??

Hi everyone I'm wanting to buy a shotgun in the couple of days. Lastnight I was at WalMart and I seen a Mossberg 500A 12gauge for sale it was $200. Are these shotguns any good? Because $200 seems cheap for a new 12gauge. So I thinking about buying it, but I just wanted to find out if it was worth having. thanks Eric

You wont be disapointed. The mossberg 500 is a great pump shotgun. Inexpensive and reliable. And there are a lot of acessories for it. $200 is a good price.

I have a rem 870 12ga.
A friend of me has the moss 500.
I have tried both and like them both.
The rem870 is has a littel more aftermarket stuff then the 500.

I'll say get it, if you regret it you can sell it for 150$.

Go man go

Good deal..I got mine for $209 several years ago, and considered it a great deal.
