I need your expert advice and help folks.
Popped into a pawn shop today out of boredom because you never know what you might find and low and behold they have a very nice Mossy 590 priced 249.99 which IMHO seems like a great price, but I dont know much about the 590 series or whats a good going price on them used. IMHO I would say this gun was 95 to 98%, very few handling marks if any. It wouldn't surprise me if it was maybe taken out and shot just one range outing, its very clean. If it was not in a pawn shop and I knew it was used I could have assumed it is brand new. The only obvious flaw on it was for whatever reason someone removed the barrel bead. not a big deal really to me for a HD very short range intended weapon.
Ok, from what I got off the Mossy page.

#50665 590® 12 ga. Pump Action 9-shot capacity, parkerized finish, bead sight, 20" cylinder bore barrel with heat shield and Speed-Feed® stock. ...MSRP $525
is the basic model I guess, but from what I was inspecting today it appears to be this one, otherwise same as the main description ...
#50645 same as #50665 except blued finish and syn.stock MSRP $422
is what it appears to be as the finish is blued and it just has the non speed feed stock on it.
So, for 249 and what I consider a pretty damned good condition, what do you think. Is it worth that much, should I try and see if they would take less on it. The ultimate plan is to probably throw a Knoxx compensated stock on it and possibly thier Sidewinder Mag/Drum kit on it later. I am thinking this is a great vehicle to convert over some knoxx gear later.
Finally, is there anything I should be specifically on the look out for when looking at a used shotty. Im assuming its all there and almost 100 percent condition, but maybe theres something you can make me aware of and why it might have been let go of because of it.
Thanks so very much in advance. I really appreciate it.
