Anybody always played with one of these or e'er seen a skillful review? I like the idea of the LPA trigger. The trigger on my electric current Browning BPS is horrible.

If you lot think the trigger on your Browning is horrible, y'all're going to hate the mossberg.

I have given Mossberg an honest endeavor severl times. They accept a neat concept for a turkey gun merely the execution is crap. They're junk pure and simple.

Y'all'll go a couple guys on here to tell you how great theirs is, and they may be, just they got lucky. The guns are crap. Spend the money to get your BPS trigger worked on or save it longer and buy gun you like amend.

Straight out of the box Mossbergs are slightly rough only I wouldn't go and so far as to call them "crap". If you lot know which end of an Arkansas stone to use you tin can get them running smoothly in about half an 60 minutes with a bit of judicious polishing. In one case this is done they are quite polish and reliable.

Mossbergs are the Welfare Mans Shotgun



A Doe walks out of the woods today and says, that is the last time I'm going to practice that for Two Bucks.

If y'all know which end of an Arkansas stone to use you tin get them running smoothly in about half an hour with a scrap of judicious polishing. Once this is washed they are quite smooth and reliable.

Polish maybe, simply I'd not call any I've owned reliable or I'd nevertheless have em.

Smooth maybe, just I'd not phone call whatsoever I've owned reliable or I'd yet have em.

I accept 4 at the moment. I've used one for my turkey gun for the final 27 years. The only problem I've had with any of them is one fourth dimension the wooden dowel used as a magazine plug got tangled in the magazine jump which turned it into a unmarried shot. A slight bevel on the ends of the dowel cured that.

YMMV.

I have two , 500 & 835 with scopes gear up up just for turkeys , with the scopes and padded bank check pieces they fill more than "rifle " like and the triggers are worked down to 4# simply in doing this one must also re work and ready the safety so it properly works. Not certain if this can be done on the newest models , mine are well-nigh 12-fourteen years old

Just an thought for everyone wanting to fool around with a dedicated turkey gun for not many $$$. Deadliest scattergun I've ever used for gobblers is a $75 mossberg commodities action pawnshop find. It came from the manufacturing plant with a front and rear sight, poly asphyxiate, and sling swivels. Went and cut some leaves to trace stencils out and gave it a OD greenish base of operations coat with leaf pattern over sprayed in ii more flat colors. And replaced the front bead on the ramp with a fiber optic.

It isn't pretty and information technology kicks like a mule, just information technology was cheap and the darn things are pretty useless for wing shooting, and so this was a pretty good use for it. The C-lect choke, equally Mossberg called it, is nice for pattering as information technology'south instantly adjustable for testing loads and can be screwed down to extra full if the pattern will hold. Mine has Uncle Mikes way QD swivel studs then I just rob a sling off ane of my rifles when spring rolls around. It only weighs about 6 i/ii pounds and I don't care if I scratch it upward so it's perfect for runnin an gunnin.

Inexpensive winter project thought anyways.
