Hey all,
Recently purchased a used Mossberg 500. The firing pin does not contact the primer if there is any backpressure at all on the pump. I have to force the pump forward in order to make contact. This is not the case with any of the 500's I have owned before or own currently.
Based on the input of USN security details that I work with: when operating a Mossberg 500, one should be able to keep backpressure on the pump so as to "ride the recoil" into the next rack of the slide. So keeping a slight backpressure on the pump should not cause it to have a cat 1 malfunction. Is there something wrong with this one?
Any thoughts, tips, help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
-B
