I've made it no secret that I'm a Mossberg guy, but I will concede the Remington is a much smoother gun. I got a new 500 and I've been racking the snot out of it. It hasn't had a round through it yet and there's wear on the mag tube and action bars already. It's smoothened up considerably, but still has a ways to go to even match an Express...
just how smoothe can these get? I know I can't wear the gun out by doing this (I intend to do it a LOT, in addition to shooting it), but theoretically I could weaken the extractor, correct? It's a minor issue...I intend to replace the extractor, follower, trig assembly and safety tab with higher quality pieces when I feel it's "broken in" anyway...basically, share your experiences on well-worn, smoothe as ice shotguns, especially older Mossberg 500s. Embrace the wear marks!
