Mossberg 500/590/A1 vs Remington 870. Go.
They're the same gun made by different manufacturers
/thread
I prefer the Mossberg's controls
and hearsay says the 590 was the only shotgun to pass the U.S. military's shotgun testing, supposedly 3000 shells without a stoppage
>>29587971
That was the 590A1.
>>29587971
I have a chinese 870 clone and a 590a1, I actually prefer how the 870 controls but Mossberg makes a much better quality firearm.
and yes I've handled remingtons.
>>29587931
get a maverick 88/pardner pump/hawk 982 instead for like $200 and spend rest of money on ammo and stuff
>>29587931
older Remington? great. new production? garbage. I personally have a 500 tactical and love it.
Check out the Winchester 1300 speed pump. I love mine
>>29587931
590A1 here i prefer them even over the old good 870's
>>29587931
Neither.
887

Compare whatever choices you made to mine and lament.
Get a benelli and be happy forever.

Assuming this is accurate and complete, looks like the biggest differences are where the controls are placed (which I prefer on the Mossberg) and the redundant extractor in case one breaks.
>>29587931
Mossberg everytime, 590a1 if you want to spend a little more money.
>>29588226
There's another half missing, lemme see if I can find it.

Here you go, part 2.
I went 500 because lefty and I enjoy the tang safety
Mossberg.
Buy a Remington and enjoy your fucking riveted ejector. Fuck Remington.

I'd say this is pretty spot on.
I like that little piece of advice at the end. I've been trying to find an Ithaca 37 DSPS like the kind LAPD used to issue for quite a while now, but no dice.
>>29588783
They're either highly coveted, or just not that common on the civvy market. Knowing the LAPD, they probably throw them in the ocean instea of selling them back to the taxpayers.
I'm actually torn between a mossberg 500/590 or a benelli nova/supernova. Beside the two different styles, i feel like the upgrade or "better models" of each style arent all that better.
Also, how much for a new Nova should I pay new? Supernova? I've got a good handle on mossberg prices.
I personally got the 500, didn't feel like hunting for an old 870 and the prospect of having to resort to power tools or sending in the gun if a part breaks was the things that drove me away.
That said.
I'll still get a 870 wingmaster when I got the cash.
>>29587931
Im getting the 590a1 because I heard better things about it. Just my ¢2.
>>29587931
the part that's most likely to break, the ejector spring can be replaced yourself on a 5XX on the remington it needs a gunsmith to fix.
>>29588079
Feels good owning one. Ghost ring over bead all day everyday.
>>29587931
I have an 870 Express w/ 28" ribbed barrel and a 1970 Wingmaster 18" barrel included, and a Mossberg 500. The 870 Express is heavily prone to rusting and has really bad quality control. Both have been really solid, but I'd lean more towards the 500, though the finish tends to scratch off.

PPH masterrace.
>one helluva shotgun
I bought the 870 super mag a couple months ago and I'm very happy with it
