Thread: Tight budget

Used a mossberg 590 as backup for 2 years in Iraq, and use the 500 here in the states for shooting bunnies and squirrels, love the gun. It's simple and reliable, never had it fail.

Samba I've seen you shoot, you need a semi, this isn't the best shot gun in the world but might suit you for a while till the little one is older and you are allowed to spend some money on a new gun.

yes gents an update to that wee quote.in fact the piston on the escort had a massive crack 3/4 of the way around
the end that butts against the bolt carrier is surrounded by a hefty spring locked with a screw on collar. when this piston was machined and the collar thread cut i can only assume the metal left was slightly thin and with a multitude of hefty thumps as the old girl fired it finally stress fractured , resulting in an angled end which bound on the mag tube.
With spares in my cupboard ,simple to bang a new 2nd hand piston on .also broke the rubber ring,so a quick hunt in my plumbing supplies finds another "O"ring.
bugger me -we're up &away again.fixed for SFA,no gunsmith bills and money for ales!
