Patience is key

That never happen to mine Mossberg 500A mine is 100% good.

Saw a video of a maverick 88(same design)but guy says if gun is dropped even lightly on its side the pin pops in and does that same thing.

So... glad it all worked out... Thinking taking the stock off didn't actually help, and just needed to pull harder on the trigger housing. Would guess you or someone over-bent the elevator inward during assembly/disassembly. That, or you got a soft one. But if you have this keep happening to you... then it's you. The military uses Mossberg 500's and 590's. And it does look a little bent inward, or at least not as much outward bow as a new one definitely has.

A fanny pack is way faster and holds 70 rounds. I have 80 rounds in my shot gun load out

It works. I’ve got one similar to this I threw in my work vehicle for unplanned emergencies, like getting a snake out of harms way while travelling. Although if you want something nicer and you’ve got a hacksaw and some sandpaper, one can often find old golf clubs cheap at pawn shops and thrift stores for a couple bucks each. A little 1/4” aluminum rod for $10 or so, and some gorilla glue will produce a very professional-like hook for similar cost and a half hour of your time. Maybe even a piece of heat shrink tubing to cover the sharp end of the tube. Good stuff for when you don’t wanna spend much time on it though!

Let's complicate a small problem, next time you want to take the trigger out ,hammer on the correct pin.

mine was the same but, with alittle cleaning & some gentle polishing it works well now. for 225 bucks it’s a perfect snake charmer 🐍

Don't make a video if you have no idea what your doing or talking about

I have been looking for how to load an Ithaca Model 51 slug gun.

We’ll always have “it” brotha Sic semper tyrannis

I think the point of monarchy having better long term incentives seems to make sense. However these incentives seem to not be the only ones for the ruler...how many roman emperors seemed to absolutely botch it due to just withdrawing to pleasure island or just not being up to the job?

This also happens when the shotgun is dropped flat to the ground.

Lots of comments here about dropping the weapon WTF?? Ive never dropped a weapon EVER!!! I dont lean them against anything. I always carry a rolled up gun sock when afield. So that if I have to cross an obstacle I dont lay my weapon directly on the dirt. Take the extra time. My father was a Marine sniper. I learned from him. Had i dropped one his weapons there would be 2 results. A belt on my arse and never allowed to touch his weapons again.

This is a known issue I took my shell lifter out use a center punch drilled a very small hole not all the way through each pen tab on both sides I taped them and inserted a very small screw with a washer keeps them from being pressed back in if the firearm is dropped but the screws are not tightened all the way down to the receiver there's about a 64th of an inch play this allows the shell lifter to move has it's supposed to I used one drop of loctite to make sure those screws don't come out I will have to use heat if I ever want to remove them but it is reliable now even if I drop it

It is so macho. How ridiculas.

You could call Mossberg...much easier to get the aftermarket pin.....it was a CNC tolerance error on a thousand or so.manufactured....unfortunately they use loctite on the mag tube threads...it will come off

There went eight minutes of my life that I will never get back.

you so need to do more surveying videos your a natural easy to understand.

I'd send it to the factory

Try removing the barrel to get the cartridge out. Trigger group is held in place by the bottom pin.

Good video

Nice 870!

Throw that thing in the trash and go buy an 870.

Goes to the elevators!

No don't cover up your take down pi....too late!

if you are really concerned about it call mossberg and maybe send the back section back.

The first time I saw Sonny was a series called Weaponology, watching him demonstrate a tactical reload on an AK and how he kept his weapon pointed at the enemy while transitioning to your secondary weapon changed how I do my on weapon reloads. The way I see it, if my gun runs empty and there is a bad guy trying to kill me I'm not taking my eye (I only have one) off of him while I reload my weapon. ;-)

I think that pin is cracked from all the magnum type shells constantly fired ..pop that shit out n replace it

This is exactly why I will not buy a Mossberg 500, nor the Maverick 88. Too much of a lability.

....idiot

Where do you get that vest to hold your reload ammo?

That’s ridiculous! I would never buy this shotgun or the maverick 88! Mossberg should be ashamed!!!

Great! A real guy showing in reality how to load and unload, loved it!!

I just bought the Maverick 88 which has almost the same internals and this issue is the #1 thing I see when people talk about it on KZbin. I wonder if anyone has thought of drilling and tapping it to hold the lifter in place with machine screws yet.

There is a solution... You dropped it

It can be permanent fixed. Hers how. The pins can be tapped and threaded place a shouldered screw so it Will pivot in the holes , problem solved.

Surely you’re not practicing for the opening of dove season in a hot spot that you have to pretend to be a quick-draw cowboy. Just trying to perceive what situation you’re in when a private citizen has so many bad guys confronting him that you have to rely on your rapid-reloading skills to fire dozens of shells in a matter of minutes. This type of ego-macho insanity is why people now train to shoot people instead of training to defend yourself in your home.

You dropped it or layer it down hard ...that's what caused this to happen..

It’s the carrier. Wiggle it from the bottom or from the ejection port. When you get it disassembled, give those arms a little stretch outwards.

Loaded gun. Several beer bottles on the bench. A strike against the gun owner…….

This is a common problem with Mossies that can be caused by dropping them or even laying them down too hard. It is in fact an inherent issue unless you watch your handling.

Sounds like a fatal flaw in weapon design

Add a hundred dollars to your shotgun purchase and buy a BENELLI SuperNova tactical 18.5" barrel model series 20145 and end your teardown problems with the easiest breakdown and most reliable pump shotgun ever ... you will also enjoy the ComfortTech recoil stock and butt plate ... kzbin.info/www/bejne/jF6XloN8ndCfbJo

I've only owned the older models in the 70s. Or early 80s never have had a problem with mine. But I I'm not. Person who shoots alot of shells I deer hunt and rabbit hunt but with deer I only may shoot twice. At one time. And only few times rabbit hunting in one days hunt. ,,

Just remove the elevator and spread out it's arms to increase tension.

Didn’t watch, not going to, 8 minutes to push shells and show the shell release latch?

Superb description 👏👏👏

LOL yes that is a very effective way of unloading xD I do like the low ready loading, I just do a chamber load over the receiver not under and its smooth.

Take your trigger assembly out before you do anything then take it to a licensed gunsmiths
