Stoked on how this Harley Davidson inspired pump action 12gauge shotgun came out. A custom Harley scroll design I made, paired with battleworn furniture!

Well, I'm a 4 wheels only guy, so I shouldn't talk shit... But from what I hear it's no surprise the Harley crowd goes Remington instead of Mossberg.

I went through two Mossberg 500's that dumped unfired shells out every time I racked another in. There's been a ton of QC issues at both Mossberg and Remington over the last 2 decades.

I no longer own anything Mossberg.

I still own my 88. I bought it years ago for trap and now I kinda like it so I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get rid of it. It boggles my mind how they were able to make that thing for less than $300.

What's funny is, the Mav 88's seemed to have fewer QC issues than the 500...which from a consumer perspective makes no sense. 590's seem less afflicted also. Who knows???

Gift horses, I suppose.

Most likely.

My 870 was a jam-o-matic. Had to grind and polish the chamber. Should have never been required, but that's the way of it today it seems. I keep that spot well oiled, it's fine.

It's my go to gun. Truck gun, camp gun, track down a bear in the bush gun. It's been flawless and reliable, going on almost 2 decades.

Bummer, sorry to hear that. Did you take a look at the shell catch/release system? I've owned a 500 20" and 590 14" build over the last 10 years and both ran great for me. IMO Mossy has too many advantages (esp for a tactical shotgun) to pass up on. Plus they continue to update their designs and offer modern features like MLOK forends.

I've "graduated" to a 1301 Tactical now. What have you moved on to?

The 1301 is def on the list, hoping it doesn't make Ottawa's list first.

I moved to an 870 Super Mag that required some love to make it work properly, but that was 15+ years ago. Also, a Benelli SuperNova (14") and a budget 24" autoloader for upland game.

The 870 is my go-to, though.
