Thread: Mossberg 500 Shotgun repair....HELP !

Hi guys, wasnt sure where to put this....my shottie was dropped getting out of a boat at the weekend, trigger guard broke off...

took it apart, and the housing on each side of the pin that the trigger pivots on are deformed/broke (plastic) the pin was sheared (1/8th" dia replaced)

Rang 5 gun shops in Jaffaville, no one has a replacment, to order one is between $4-5 hundy

does anybody know 'someone' who repairs shotguns who might have a 2nd hand one for sale????? pics below showing damage....'rangi' epoxy resin repair job ??????



pin housing.....



other side....

Mmmm may not be a vg suggestion but wot about a panel beater ie plastic welding? They're able to do some pretty clever repairs now.

cheers @zimmer i will see what pans out and keep that suggestion on the backburner....it still goes 'bang' in its present condition!!!!!!!

Mite pay to phone some stores down south. I saw a 500 go for 300 on TM, look at all the extra parts plus a barrel to cut down

they've got to be kidding on the price. This is the metal upgraded trigger group... Under 100 USD, so no issues with having it sent

Good luck on them as they wouldn't send some little springs over to NZ.

Cheers Jim, but I prefer the 500 as it has a tang safety......much better......For all concerned

Shotgun and parts are unrestricted out of the states so im told

Just to add a bit of salt to your possibly wounded emotions, the trigger group broke on my 590, not through it being dropped, but the known weakness of the plastic (they usually break at the two lugs at the front where they locate into the receiver), I sent an email off to Mossberg with pics showing what happened, and they sent a replacement metal version. No permit or anything required, was 2 or 3 years ago.
