My son owns a 12ga. Mossberg Silver Reserve. His firing pin broke last weekend.I owned a 28ga. and a 20ga. S/R. The 28ga. had no problems, except always rusting and full of burrs.It shot well. The 20ga could not hit the side of a barn door. Same rust problem and poor quality. Also, several times when I closed the receiver of the 20ga.the top barrel would fire. Very unsafe. They look nice but are poorly made. Being a machinist, I should have known better. I can pick out many machining flaws. Cheap metal, bad heat treating process, to many burrs and poor bluing process.The only place you can get repairs is Maverick Arms in Texas. You cannot order your own replacement parts. I got rid of both S/R. So,I recently bought a shotgun made here in New Hampshire. Ruger 20ga. Red Label Engraved. Four times the cost of a S/R but well worth the investment. Good Quality, spare parts, and most of the owners say Ruger has a factory turnaround in two weeks time. Ruger will replace parts and repairs at no cost. You only pay shipping.
Mosseberg, Maverick arms 3 months waiting for repairs.
With the Ruger I have shot about 1000 rounds.
Now I can bust 22 out of 25 clays.
My opion, stay away from Mossberg Silver Reserve. Reason; quality and safety. They should be removed from the market in this country, until they can get their act together.
Do not buy one for your children!!!!
