Mossberg 500/590 Firearm Maintenance: Part 4 Reassembly

[@carloscanales3183]

The dexterity of an experienced gunsmith makes it all look so effortless.

[@lifeshort]

It's hardly a rocket science

[@lifeshort]

Maybe watch the first video where he lets bits fall out of it unintentionally

[@SpartacusColo]

This is really an easy gun to manage: everything is big, and easy to get at. Even if you are not mechanically-inclined, a couple of evolutions, and it will be cake for you.

[@AGFuzzyPancake]

This video might be fine for people that have successfully reassembled this model many times before and are just looking for a refresher. For those reassembling this firearm for the first time like me, The Berreta Guy's reassembly video is going to be much more helpful. The proper pump action arm and bolt positions were completely glossed over in this and are *not* obvious. If you're frustrated, don't blame yourself. Brownells really ought to title this video "A Quick Overview of Mossberg 500/590 Reassembly".

[@MrBigdog1219]

Thank you, I cam looking for this comment. This guy went too fast, and now my action doesn't work, very frustrating.

[@Eumeaus]

Useless video

[@kcender3771]

100% agree with you! Thx for the suggestion!!

[@Ibuildit2817]

100% This was a HORRIBLE video! Put this here. Put that there and POOF! It's all together! NO! Not in the least

[@thomasbonnett5806]

This four-part series was a godsend. My Mossberg 500 is right at the point where disassembly/cleaning/lube is necessary. I was intimidated by the process, now I’m actually looking forward to it. If you’d like to do a similar series on the Remington Nylon 22, I’d be grateful. Mine’s currently in approximately 100 pieces...

[@jasonweishaupt1828]

Try a Ruger Mark 3 if you want frustration.

[@skynetonline]

I want to share my experience. One time I wanted to replace the factory forehand device with one with rails so I could attach extras to it. Sadly I realized that I wasn't able to reassemble the shotgun back together so I put all the loose parts in the gun case and spent months thinking I broke my amazing shotgun. After watching this part 4 video it took me like 5 minutes to put all back together. Thank you for sharing these useful series.

[@s1mo-RBC]

How about a video where you take it a little slower like you haven't re-assembled it 15,000 times ? You know for the people that have never done it ? This is so frustrating.

[@brownells]

Thank you for the feedback Daniel. We will pass this on to our video team!

[@s1mo-RBC]

+Brownells, Inc. Sorry I was a little frustrated there. But taking it slower and showing different angles would help. People that generally watch these videos don't have a very good idea of how to do this stuff.

[@brownells]

We understand Daniel! Note taken :)

[@sirchompsalot4967]

Man, that’s what the pause bottom is for. There’s enough 25 minute videos out there of something that should take 2 min.

[@epass8180]

Exactly, almost like I’m watching this video because I don’t know how to do something, not because I want to see how quickly brownells can do it

[@Dukesy90]

Parts 1-3 were exactly what I needed as I have never field stripped any gun before. You guys really dropped the ball on part 4 though. A kid filming with a cellphone while sitting on a carpet video helped me with reassembly.

[@ConradSzymczak]

which video?

[@cristobilllumberg2473]

agreed. He didn’t detail how the parts should come together and the little nuances.

[@peterpaul6725]

That kid has more brains than you.

[@matthook1012]

THANK YOU! I’ve been struggling for 20 min to get it to fit! Still can’t! Need to take a whisky break to calm the nerves and look for a different video.

[@SpartacusColo]

The orientation of the slide is probably 90% of the issue of getting things to fit up properly. He clearly shows the correct orientation, and shows where the tab should fit into the bolt. The matter of wiggling back and forth to find the sweet spot is not too tough, the pause points are decent, and the pieces drop into each other. Take a wide picture of your innards before you start to disassemble if you need to.

[@SpartacusColo]

Terrific PSA series, guys! Short, sweet, easy to follow!

[@MarcHamilton4711]

Great videos, taking it to the point. Much better than all those 45 Minutes blablabla stuff. Thanks!

[@rooster3019]

A most excellent job until part 4. You skipped showing how to get the bolt in and positioned to that the bolt carrier would drop down onto it.

[@peterpaul6725]

Lots of complaints, don't have the skills pay a gunsmith.

[@SomeGuyButNotThatGuy]

Why make an assembly video and then rush through it like the Russians are beating down your door. Never understood why you wouldn't pause after every step.

[@Felix5]

I was able to follow this series fairly closely without issue, however the segment at 0:43 could have used a lot more guidance. It is fairly difficult to get everything aligned, especially if you don't know that the action arms need to be moved to the correct position.

[@SandraLait-ow3tc]

Perfect videos.So smooth and easily understand.

[@bldlightpainting]

Thanks so much for this video. It made the reassembly of my shotgun after a complete bluing much easier.

[@brownells]

Thank you for watching & glad we could help out!

[@kerryrump6028]

Thanks for the excellent video! I'm saving it for future use as I don't know when I'll be cleaning my gun in the future.

[@djw5415]

I love how these video everything just falls into place so easily 🙄

[@JB-pu6ek]

Friggin really though. It took me 20 minutes to take the damned thing apart, and 3 hours in I'm still trying to get it back together because the damned lifter is screwing everything up and causing it to seize up when I try a function test and apart it comes AGAIN and AGAIN and AGAIN.

NOPE. Pay a gunsmith

[@danielcruz2256]

So I was going to complain about this video but then I realize he did give the Right instructions. However his terminology and camera angles are what cause confusion . When he talks about "aligning the slide with the bolt and the action arms ". What he should have said and shown is that the " slide needs to be aligned with the actions arms ,AND inserted into the bolt,so that you can move/adjust the bolt when inserting the shell stoppers". Bc I just spent an hour wondering why the right side wouldn't go in,had search up other videos.

[@peterpaul6725]

Go back to mexico make tortillas, the video is for people with the skills to do the job, not for m o r o n s.

Don't have the skills go back to mexico cook tortillas

[@carlschnier4089]

This is the standard security shotgun used by the Marine Corps. I keep mine handy for home security. Any person with normal wit and dexterity can disassemble and reassemble this firearm. More reliable than the junk Remington 870 produced of late. Just returned one because of poor metal work, would not eject multiple brands of shells, the chamber was milled like crap. Parts were abominable.

[@trap4stackz497]

Thanks bro 8 years later and this shit is still helping people love it

[@blakelunsford4482]

This video series was another good one by Brownells. Sadly, pt. 4 does not offer enough detail while assembling and assumes the person watching already knows the ticklish parts and they do exist. There are a couple other vids that do a better job with more detail. But thanks Brownells!

[@peterpaul6725]

The video is for people that has the skill to do the job, not for dumbos.

This is the best video on disassemble and reassemble

[@ericjohnson9193]

I liked the other instructional videos on the 590 in this series, but this last one on reassembly were not detailed enough about how all the parts needed to be lined up.

Skips alignment of some of the parts

[@danieltunks]

I am a novice. I just broke everything down and cleaned it. I put it back together and now it won’t rack. Obviously I didn’t something wrong with the reassembly. Ideas?

[@seizetheapathy]

I found this helpful but when putting in the stops I had to move the forearm and bolt all the way forward. Make sure to do this if you need a little extra room.

[@jonbursek1276]

Just the best video on how NOT to do an instructional video on how to reassemble a piece of precise machinery that could actually seriously harm or kill somebody if not assembled properly. Also I didn’t watch it to the end but did he run through the manual of arms to be sure it functions properly??

[@Fly4aWhiteGuy]

When I screw down the takedown knob, there is about .030 gap between the end of the magazine and the lug on the barrell (near muzzle end). Is this normal?

Better lighting would help, and going slow so we can verify position and alignment of the bolt, etc

It was fine until video #4 where he made it look like it just fell back together and didn't show any of the key alignment point, Fullmetal jacket did a much better job in his video.

[@fedorg7985]

Parts 1-3 were fine. This one is more of a tease "look how easy I can do it". A few close-ups, details on where the parts should end up for easier installation of the next parts, are essential. There's no way a first time assemblyman could follow this. Please redo this Steve, you can easily reduce the frustration for many people relying on your typically expert guidance.

[@wheatgrassvswildfishing5759]

Thanks for making this super difficult to put it back together guess I'll look for a better video so I can get my shotgun back together

[@Eisenhower42]

I agree with previous commenters - this video is very nearly worthless, as it completely skips over the intricate alignment that must be achieved between the bolt, bolt slide and action arms, and where all three need to be positioned within the receiver to achieve that alignment. Without knowing this, you will invariable lock your action up - ask me how I know. As suggested below, there is a very good video by a KZbinr named BerettaGuy who shows the exact positioning of these pieces, and once you know that, the gun is simple to reassemble. Without knowing this, however, it's like a Rubik's Cube. Brownell's either re-edit this vid to insert footage showing this, or re-do the video - it's really not helping anyone and is, in fact, causing more confusion than anything.

[@Bleeoshzuan]

I hate when I think I e found a great instructional series, and the last video makes it seem like a cakewalk, when in fact I want to reassemble this thing and sell it ASAP because it's not worth the aggravation.

Go watch the 11 min video by The Beretta Guy. Much more detailed explanation of how to get the bolt/slide/plate all lined up.

Not a gunsmith but after more than 50 years as a gun fan I know a bit. My apologies for been rude.

[@PiraticalBob]

This video doesn't go into enough detail about reassembly, particularly the necessity of aligning the action bars, bolt and slider in a way that locks them together. I had to watch a video from another KZbinr to get the detailed directions I should have gotten here.

also, how about you show the position of the bolt and slide both when repositioning? As daddydaughter diy said, you're not making this video for people who already know how to do this. Frickin' old fart gun guys (even the young ones). can't teach to save their lives!
