Just purchased my first shotgun, A Mossberg

[SASS#23149]

Several years ago...maybe more..

I bought a well worn plain jane Mossy 500 'as is' at a shop for a hundred bucks.It's still ticking and has never let me down.Don't think it ever will either.
they are a great gun for the price,no question.

So the Big 5 combo guns come with a synthetic stock, a 28" ported barrel, a 18.5" barrel, and 3 chokes tubes?

I think it only comes with one IMP choke but I maybe wrong.

Ok, I am unhappy with my purchase now, I went back their to pick up my gun. They bring me out, what I thought was the wrong gun, (since it didnt look like the one I was looking at on the rack) I tell the guy, I did not want that one, but that one (pointing at the one with the Mossberg500 combo tag) He looks at the shotgun, then the tag, well thats the wrong tag switches it with the tag of a different mossberg. I get to look at the one I purcahsed... a vented rib barrel NON-ported, 1 choke tube, came with the 18.5' barrel of course..... damit damit damit :banghead:

Im dissapointed.

The first rifle I bought at big 5 was taken right off of the shelf, and into the box they had in the back.

This shotgun I bought was not taken down from the rack, instead the guy went to the back, and got a new un-opened one. The only time he opened it was when he looked looked for the saftey lock, and model #. (I should have asked to look at it, but I was looking at one of their rifle bags)

...10 days later...

The only time I got to see it is when he was finishing the paperwork, he took out the shotgun and asked me to make sure the serial number on the gun was the same written down.


...
I still took it home
....

Sorry for the mis-information guys :banghead:

Hmmmm.... THREE choke tubes are pretty much Standard Issue with a Mossberg 500 w/a 28" VR barrel.


I've got both Ported and Non-ported 28" barrels with my 500's the only time I notice is the difference is in the duck blind.... (PORTED = LOUD !!!)
