Mossberg 500

[myrmidon]

Bought a used Mossberg from Ammo Attic ( West Melbourne, Florida ) 2 years ago , put in storage . Moved to New York ( Western NY) right after that .
My in-laws come up for the Holidays and stay with us . We decide to go to the range and shoot the old shot gun , GUESS WHAT??? no firing pin .............
anyone have any info on me executing this repair ? .........
and AMMO ATTIC?

Nice thing about the 500 is that parts are easy to find and the gun is pretty straightforward to work on. Try eBay first for your parts. You can download a manual from the Mossberg web site if you need disassembly instructions.

The seller probably did not know there was no firing pin - unless they test-fire their used guns, I'm not surprised they would overlook it. Some folks remove firing pins as a safety measure before storing their guns away, and the missing pins are forgotten over time.
