I really like the Mossberg 500 series shotguns. However out of all the big name gun companies that make pump actions Mossberg has in my opinion the worst quality control out of the bunch. I know from first hand experience. I bought 2 Mossberg pumps in the last 5 years and they both had issues. The first one was a brand new 590 that came from the factory put together wrong and the other one was a brand new 590a1 with major rust issues inside the barrel. Both problems had to be corrected by my local gunsmith. It was impossible to get through to Mossberg's customer service to have them deal with it. That's why I went Benelli and Remington. Their quality control seems to be better then Mossberg's. The fit and finish on my nova and 870 are way better then any Mossberg I've ever owned.
