I have been looking at buying the 590 A1. Why would it be doing this, and 3 magazine springs? Any chance you can elaborate? I have also been looking at 870’s as well.
There is something wrong with your 590. They shouldn't be doing that and if you don't have a keen eye to sort it out or identify the problem, I bet Mossberg probably has a good warranty service for a possible replacement.
Nice. How does that sling work for ya? I had one set up like that and can sling it over my shoulder and that's about it. Thinking about switching to single points for a couple shotguns, ones that can very easily be detached/attached. I had mine set up like that and I hated it.
You seem to have changed your mind over the past year or so. On April 20th of last year, in this forum, among other criticisms of the A1, you argued that the polymer trigger group of the Models 500 and 510 might be better than the "sintered metal" A1 unit. You opined, "Personally, the standard 590 model is a better gun (than the 591 variant)...I'll take a standard 590 model over the A1 any day".
Just curious. Why the change of opinion?
I can personally attest to the strength of a Ruger 10/22 polymer trigger group. I slipped a ways down an icy incline in a stream and almost off a cliff into the gorge to the death, luckily the 10/22 broke my fall and used it to slow myself down and was able to wedge my foot into a crack just before the drop off but my ruger wasn't so lucky and continued down the falls, the trigger guard and housing got smacked hard but didn't break, but somehow and don't ask me how, the plunger and plunger spring was damaged and I had to replace some parts but the polymer housing was intact somehow.
I wish I knew of this forum and about forums in general back when those guys and many other walking breathing libraries were active on the forum, RC Model, Dave McCracken, etc... I was just starting out my shooting hobbies as a young kid around the time this forum was launched, who knows how it might have shaped my opinions and collection, etc... I'm just glad alot of their stuff is archived and Dave has a bunch of stuff stickied in the Shotgun subforum. It's definitely worth checking out, Dave wrote like somebody who should have been contributing to a major publication, his writing ability and storytelling was impressive.
Some people are just nasty.Yes, I know. I read the post and I have seen his other posts. I think age, maturity, and experience are the issue. You may not receive an explanation.
At one time I was young and full of vinegar. I would spend hours on here arguing and offering opinions, because of course I am always right.
Now, mainly I offer minor feedback from time to time along with some light humor.
I always take his opinions / observations with a grain of salt. They all can't be RC model.
