Mossberg 500 pump 20 ga

[g.a.stahle]

My roommate has a friend who is selling a Mossberg 500 pump 20 ga. The seller is only looking to get about $200 out of it. I just want to know: is this a good shotgun, what I should look for when I check it out. Any and all advice/input is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Good price if it's in good shape. great shotguns. Easy to work on. Very reliable.

Things to look for.

1. make sure it's unloaded
2. make sure everything works; i.e., safety, trigger reset, bolt lock/unlock
3. no cracks in stocks, etc.

Not much more to it IMO. Good luck

Thats what I paid for one 4 years ago NIB.

I bought one at wal-mart two years ago for about $220.00 so if it is like new condition $200.00 not bad, especially if it has real wood stocks as opposed to the faux-wood stocks.

In a private sale $175 would buy that gun around here. The Mossberg 500 is certainly a fine shotgun, but as mentioned they often sell new for $225 - $235 at big retail stores.
