Hard to beat success.It goes BOOM every time I squeeze the trigger and that's good enough for me.

Can't buy guns of any type, even air guns at the Walmart's in my town. Not even slingshots!Considering I can buy a new one at Walmart for $159, I hope your decent price is around $100.
They are your run of the mill basic pump. I have not fired one, so you're one up on me, but they seem a decent gun for the price. I'd pick it up for a placeholder until I found an 870, but any working shotgun at that price is not a bad deal.
Hey what's up with your avatar? Copycat.
I think you are very confused as to what conservative means!!!
Just to remind people in 2019 a gunman murdered 23 people in an El Paso, TX Walmart with an AK.Conservative???

Walmart's across the country, not all, but most, removed anything gun related a few years back because of an incident at one
of their stores. The one's here even banned the customers from carrying guns on their person.
I carry mine (concealed w/o a permit by the way) everywhere there isn't a metal detector even if there's a sign that says I can't.
I am a firm believer in the adage "better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it".
And more importantly I have the GOD given right to arm myself.
I didn't mean conservative in a political way. I meant conservative as in selling anything questionable. Like I said I very seldom patronize Walmart. I'm more of a general store kind of person and thanks to large chain stores there are getting to be fewer and fewer of those. My gun dealers are small privately owned operations.
Replacement Breech Block Buffers seem to be available from several outlets. All of them may be the Jack First version, which appears to be a new reproduction, but with a reputation for quality.The reason I listed the original post is that my Browning A500 semi may be done forever. It needs a $20 part, a breech block buffer, which neither I nor my gunsmith can find anywhere. Without it, the action will be battered into oblivion. If any of you know of a source for A500 parts, please advise. I believe the lack of parts availability is because the gun was only made for a few years.
The best 870s are Wingmasters. Really. You might also consider the Mossberg 500Time to buy a pump shotgun. It will be field gun with 24-26 inch barrel. I have seen that Benelli SuperNovas have reliability issues. Still, it looks like a great gun. What are your recommendations between the Benelli SuperNova, Winchester SXP, and Remington 870? I want it to be totally reliable, easy to completely strip and clean, and durable. Thanks.
The 97 is one of my favorites, but parts are near unobtainable. Sadly, these great guns do wear out eventually.870. The WIngmaster is better than the Express, older better than newer. The Win. Models 12 and 97 are reliable, if one goes over them first. (Remember the M12 hasn't been made for 56 years, and the 97 for 63 years)
M1014 Benelli. Nothing wrong with A-5's, but the M1014 (M2, & M4 also) is very reliable (the Marines aren't using the A-5) , and lighter. The 1100 is also a reliable gun, but needs lots of maintenance to keep it that way.
Well since my brother has offered to sell me his Stevens 320 for next to nothing, I'll stick with the Stevens for now.

Pretty much all my shotguns have been Remington 870 or patterned off the Mossberg 500. Sticking with those or clones of them like the Maverick 88 is what I recommend to my students. Turkey is the big name on firearm imports right now and one of their big games is shotguns. I haven't personally tried any as I am dubious of the source and what reliability may come with the low cost.
I had a Winchester 1200 pump I got as a kid and I'd never want another.
