5 Shotguns You Should Never Buy (Here’s Why)

[@outbackjack46270]

I've had a 500 since 1977 and it has never failed me. My gun is a Coast to Coast hardware store Master-Mag 880 which is just a Mossberg 500 with scroll engraving on the right side of a chromed bolt and a chromed and engraved elevator.. I've shot thousands and thousands of rounds thru it. Also nice you can get different barrels for it. Rifled scope mount, rifled iron sights, 18.5 inch defensive cylinder choked barrel for home defense, etc, All kinds of aftermarket accessories too.

[@edpottinger849]

It depends on what you intend to use the shotgun for.Are you just hunting upland game birds,or is it ducks and geese,or a self defence weapon ,or a bear gun. It depends on the application. Mossberg has several pump action models that are budget friendly.You aren't allowed to use assault weapons at all including semi auto pistols,anywhere but the range.They will seize them from you in Canada

@@outbackjack46270 growing up dad had 6-7 Mossberg's two bolt actions 12ga. And 410ga.2-500 in 20 ga. One in 16ga. And 2- 12ga. One a BB ribbed bird barrel and the other a 500 BuckBuster ca. There was a 16ga. Bolt action that lost a part of the bolt assembly the screw broke off possibly over tightened. That was a customer gun we sent it to Mossberg to have it repaired , but Mossberg said it could be fixed but it would likely do it again as the test fired the gun and it spit out the new screw head and the latch pawspring. In steady they sent him a new 500 pump with two barrels and fire fly fiber optic sights. The customer was elated and used that shotgun until he expired.

[@garyfreida6504]

I have a Mossberg 500 Crown that has been one of the best shotguns and is one of the most reliable I've used for all my needs even after more than a thousand rounds of both 12 gauge shot rounds and 1 ounce slugs . It still handles like the day I bought it.

[@grumpydano]

I remember the day's when Montgomery Ward, Sears and Western Auto all sold name brand knockoff's. Some were good like the single shot shotguns but many were poor quality.

[@User-nx7rs]

Many of those were mossberg, marlin, savage,Steven's, Harrington Richardson, high standard and Winchester

[@JH-bb5ne]

I do!… generally because I have really good memory…. but I remember them stores (Fred-Meyers, Sears, K-mart) had those items back in a corner (sporting goods)… however I was just a kid in elementary school while they still had them… didn’t know I’d ever miss/reminisce about something I really never got to experience.

[@BigWheel.]

Probably hard to screw up a single barrel but who knows. Maybe someone has.

[@User-nx7rs]

@BigWheel. they made single shot, bolt, pump and semi so who really knows were the original purchaser who have probably passed on.

Coast to Coast hardware.

[@vxy357]

The main problem with the Fabarm-STF is very overpriced. $1500 is too much to spend on a pump action shotgun. They should've priced it under $900.

[@stevenmerlock9971]

Agreed with the assessments. My perspective = stay away from shotguns with designations (Tactical, Assault, Accessorized and Mil-Spec) Designs should be modular and simple. Never select a shotgun simply off the brand name and always select function over appearance. I start with Price then function.

[@chadhaire1711]

My model 67 is over 60 years old, beat to hell, and works great

Thanks for the heads up. I've owned a 12ga Remington 870P since 1983. Mine has high gloss corncob forend and glossy hardwood butt, a 1" recoil pad. The action has only gotten smoother over the years. I did swap barrels to a vent rib 19+" cylinder bore in 1989. Not a magnum, my 870P was model #5028.

Don't tell me it only had 1 guide, (ear), that attached to the pump itself! I had a Savage 20ga pump that only had one guide that attached to the pump, and that dam thing would jam all of the time! The reason it did this was because the one guide would bind if you didn't pump it straight back with even pressure. Traded it in plus $99 bucks for a Smith & Wesson 20ga Model 1000 semi-auto. Fekken love that S&W! Cheers

I purchased a UTI semiauto about 8 years ago. Some times I love it and other times not so much. It has never failed to feed or jam. It was a great price and looks cool. I added a flashlight/laser to the front stock as there is no accessory rails. My one beef is with unloading. The tube (extractor) damages the shells and I fear using shells with burrs on them.

What is your opinion about the Remington Model 887? I contacted Remington some years ago, and they told me the 887 was no longer being made, no reason given. Do you have any opinion about them? I find that my gun has a lower recoil than other pumps, but I don't know why.

If you were to be less absolutist about this, it might find a much bigger audience and to greater effect. Rather than say that this gun should never ever be bought, you might try, "I find this gun has these cons, and might not be the gun for you." Just a thought, Man.

[@bronzestarvue]

I have a UTAS-XTR 12, and it's the absolute worst firearm I've ever owned. I wanted to break it in by using slugs, and it would either fail to feed or fail to eject every time. Tried changing ammo brands, changing the recoil spring, all to no avail. I ended up giving it to someone who bought one of my motorcycles, who was an avid sport shooter. Maybe he can make it work like it's supposed to. I still have a Mossberg pump and a Turknelli semi-auto shotgun, so I'm good. But yeah, that UTAS was a POS...
