007hunter Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 The past few weeks I've been shooting trap on the weekends. Each time I normally shoot between 100-150 rounds. How long do think my Mossberg 500 will last to that much use? Or is this an unknown? I take real good care of it. It gets cleaned and oiled after each use....Anone have any idea?

coles Posted January 30, 2007 Report Share Posted January 30, 2007 Re: How long? should last you a while then. it all just depends on how well you treat it. they wont last forever but with the proper care they will last longer than you think. you cant do anything to prevent normal wear and tear though. no matter what you do to keep it up things are going to slowly wear down.

AJ Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How long? Since the Mossberg is a relatively simple design like the Rem 870, it may indeed wear out if you continue the same level of usage for the next few decades. You may wear out an extractor or have a firing pin break but that's about all that can happen to them. Keep on shooting it and grind them birds.

007hunter Posted January 31, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How long? Ok Thanks! I'm definately not really worried about wearing it out. I was just curious. I figure I might as well use it instead of it collecting dust... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut10 Posted January 31, 2007 Report Share Posted January 31, 2007 Re: How long? Yep. Shoot it like you stole it. Yep. I started shooting trap with a fairly inexpensive SxS 20 ga. Due to the hinges and completely different lock-up system, I believe I coulda worn it out within a few years time. But, like AJ said........I don't think you'll run into much more than "routine maintainence" issues with the pump gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
