Description

the Model 500 is chambered for 3-inch shells. It makes a very capable, very reliable, waterfowl gun. The first Model 500s had only a single action bar connecting the slide and the bolt. Once Remington’s patent on dual-action bars expired, Mossberg added a second bar to make the gun work more smoothly and more reliably. The guns have gone on to serve with police departments and the military, which is a testament to their reliability. While Mossberg 500s are the first shotgun of many hunters, a lot of experienced waterfowlers keep a Mossberg 500 12 gauge on hand as a bad-weather and backup gun. Also, with its top safety it’s a gun that left and right handers can both shoot easily, making it a good choice for left handers and good as a loaner gun
