I have a Mossberg 500 and it was leaning against the truck unloaded with the action closed (idiot friend did that, I never set down an unloaded gun with a closed action) and the safety on. It was dark and I tripped over it and it fell over.
At this point I picked it up and the safety would not go into fire, nor would the action open fully with the action release, obviously I couldn't fire it and run the slide because it was stuck on safe. So I handed it to one of the guys with us who has considerably more bicep muscle then myself and he just opened it with brute force using the action release.
When I disassemble the gun and clean it what should I be looking for as far as damage, or is it just a one-time incident and the gun is probably ok?
