Pawn Shop Special!! ** Added Pics**

I just picked up a Mossberg 500A in a gun sock at a pawn shop this weekend for $80. It's not beautiful, but certainly not in bad shape at all. Action is smooth cycles rounds good, and just needs a bit of clean up. I haven't had a chance to fire it yet so maybe I am in for a surprise yet.

I am not a Mossberg officianato or necessarily a fan, but any working pump gun for $80 can't be bad. Let us know how it turns out!

80 bucks for a 500 is hard to beat! Even if it don't look the greatest, it's still a great gun. Good job

 

[testar77]

Yeah it's not in too bad of shape. What's even better is I am supposed to be picking up a Remington 1100 with a 30" Trap Barrel, in really nice shape for $225-$250!

 

[Frog48]

Thats a deal. Even if the furniture is in bad shape, thats easy enough to replace for $35-45, and still be way ahead of the same.

Eighty bucks is a heck of a deal on a Mossberg 500!

Hate to be the one to burst your bubble but the mdl. 500 is a pretty generic gun and as such, resale value is pretty low. I mean, you can get one brand new for $209. However, if this gun was, in fact, new, congrats, but it doesn't sound like it was.

You'd be the only one, at that price. $80 is a steal. Well done.

but a reliable well functioning 3" 12ga for $80 still a great deal

 

[pinstripe]

I'll give you $100 for it right now if it shoots. $80 is a hell of a deal. The hell with the dents and dings, it a shotgun!

Well, if you can find me a good condition, functioning 500A for 80 bucks...I'll take two please
Seriously, why pay 209 when you don't have to?

Congrats on the new baby!

 

[Nathanael_Greene]

Great deal! Even if it doesn't shoot worth a darn, you could probably part it out and get your investment back.

 

[testar77]

Well I already bought a 28" ported, vented rib accu-choke barrel with mid bead and hi viz bead, with 4 chokes for the 500 for $60. Might sell the 28" that came with it, I'm not sure yet. The original barrel was in just fine shape, I just prefer vented rib barrels.

 

[indoorsoccerfrea]

Didn't happen unless I see pictures!

 

[testar77]

And I thought soccer fans would believe anything!!!

 

[PryItFromMyColdDeadHands]

[testar77]

Ok by popular demand

Here are some requested pics. Sitting next to it is the 28" bbl that came on it. On it is the 28" vented rib barrel I picked up for it that I mentioned earlier.

You got a great deal, nice SG. Enjoy!

 

[boalex207]

Dang nice find, good looking gun for $80, id say a good buy at $150 because I have never seen a NIB 500 anywhere near $200, heck id pay $200 for a decent used one.

 

[testar77]

It has a few scratches on the other side of the reciever, and some scratches in the wood, and a very light patch of surface rust on the bolt, that can be polished right up in minutes. But other than that it is good to go!

 

[jlv08]

DUDE!! What's to clean up!!??? Eighty bucks for that sweet hunk of steel is awful good. The 500a is to Mossberg as the 870 is to Remington . It is agood shotgun that can be accessorized and can be employed for use to defend your home and give a good account of itself afield. NIce Find.
