Don't drop the Mossy, you'll break it. There is a fix, but without the fix it's easily broken when the shell lifter gets knocked out of place. Trying to rack the slide at that point makes it worse. I had a gunsmith put the fix to my Shockwave (drilled and tapped the studs on both sides of shell lifter then added nylon or delrin washers and fasteners). You never know when you may drop your weapon unexpectedly, and Mossys are guaranteed to have the shell lifter pop out of position when dropped. Mossberg claims to have no knowledge of this when asked about it, "Oh, that's news to us! We've never heard of any such thing!"
