I recommend that you carefully handle the one you are thinking about purchasing. You can tell a lot from the "feel."

My newly acquired Mossberg 500 from a couple of years ago had light primer strikes right out of the box. I sent it back to Mossberg and it works fine now with no issues. Having said that, it seems to have a lot of "plastic and aluminum" on it.

I do not believe the Remington or Mossberg shotguns manufactured today are as good a quality as the ones made back in the seventies. I inherited my dad's Remington 1100LT-20 semi-automatic shotgun and it is truly a thing of beauty.
