Previous to this foul up, I was working on Single-Hand manipulations for an hour or so with this shotgun. I was getting ready for bed when i noticed that something didnt look right. If i would have needed to employ this gun for Home defense, I would have gotten one shot, and then I would be wielding a 7lb club. This concerns me. I will continue working with the 500 to see whether this was a fluke, or that the 500 needs to be reconsidered from its current home defense roll.

Its your shell elevator. Remove the trigger group , and the stud on the lifter will go back into place .

Good video, thanks. Mine did this but thankfully it wasn't loaded. While I was watching your video, I learned that if you take the barrel off, with a screwdriver, with the bottom of the gun facing up, push the elevator assembly (shell catcher) slightly up toward you, the studs will click back into place and free your action up. Put the barrel back on before racking forward though, to prevent the bolt assembly from sliding too far forward.

I've only seen a few videos showing this problem. Two of them were from the same individual. I've also heard Internet rumors about this same problem. The elevator is made out of spring steel. I wonder how many of them come out weak. Normally the spring force holds the elevator into the receiver quite securely. Anyway, thanks for posting this video all those years ago. It's something I'll keep an eye out for on mine.

I have a Mossberg that's pre-1968 since it doesn't even have a serial number, the best built, most reliable firearm I've ever owned. There are plenty of videos here that will talk you through the process of fixing what appears to be a non-issue, hope by now you've figured that out

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.

I own a 500, have owned several 500s (and even an 88 "combat" shotgun with heat shield and pistol grip I carried in my POV when off duty), and been issued as both a soldier and a Police Officer several 500s over the years and NEVER experienced the problem you had in this video. I've fired thousands of standard and magnum rounds through the 500s (and that one Maverick 88) and none of them gave me a moments trouble....Unlike at least two 870s I've had to deal with since the 1960s. But to be fair to all concerned, there is always going to be that one firearm (or any other mass produced product) that will have a "problem" of some sort. I've been around long enough to see entire runs of firearms, cars, trucks and other "things" that suffered from aggravating problems that more than once turned me against entire product lines as a result. Hopefully you will have solved the problems with the particular 500 from this video OR purchased a 500, that like ALL of the ones I have dealt with, gives you 100% reliability!

@@TheAxe4Ever And I can't and won't argue your point. I thought I made it clear though that I HAVE NEVER experienced the problem(s) you did with your shotgun. Of all the shotguns I've owned, been issued, or loaned for hunting purposes only one brand name of shotguns gave ME zero problems of any kind and that was Mossberg. Over the decades I've had Remington and Winchester shotguns that were OK but would fail to function for one reason or another and spent more time traveling between the manufacturer and my house than they did in the field. One very nice (looking) Winchester I purchased new in the box wore it's welcome out at Winchester and became, briefly, a gunsmith's nightmare even though I think I helped put his daughter through nursing school circa 1978. The only other brand of shotgun I have had little to no problems with over the years has been Ithaca. But I've only owned two (wish has them back by the way) and was issued one in 1981 by the Army. That last one had been used, abused, and rebuilt at depot level so many times (six according to the records) that I'm of the opinion that the only factory original part was the receiver. That G.I. shotgun would function beautifully 9.5 times out of 10 but would sometimes try to load a round before the spent one could be ejected completely. And no I was not short stroking the shotgun. When I turned it in for "repair or replacement" at brigade the civilian gunsmith, a retired WO3, recognized it by it's serial number right away and handed me a Mossberg, a new one, off the rack and I never had a problem with it until the day I turned it in for the last time to our Troop arms room. Anyway, no matter what you may think of my earlier response to your video I did enjoy it and am keeping a close watch my current Mossberg 500 in case it develops any problems such as those you had with your shotgun. Take care and keep up the great videos!

That is your elevator, and I have had the same thing happen. Easy fix, once you get it disassembled. Pull the arms of the elevator apart until they are slightly bent outwards, then reassemble. That puts more tension on the arms under recoil, and since bending mine I haven't had it pop out and seize up again. That being said, my number one shotgun with ZERO failures is the Stoeger M3000. Sad that my Turkish gun (with more rounds through it) works more reliably than my Mossberg, but it is what it is.

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.

take your stock off first then pull the trigger assembly stock must be off. afterwards pull off your barrel and pull the bolt and shell out the front. also the bolt carrier take that out and then you can get to the shell elevator which is what has came out of place inside your gun simply pinch both sides of it to pull them out the pin holes and do same to get it back in slightly pinch and guide to the hole make sure it fits through then just put everything back in as it came out excluding the shell

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

when this happens work the slide an inch and back to try to rattle the pin back in place. this is a problem with the mossberg. mostly you hear about this with the 88. mine hasn't done this yet. but i'm waiting for mossberg to come up with a fix for it. it isn't bent. if you drop the shotgun it pops out. don't drop it, and don't through it in the back of your truck... place it carefully. the two pieces of the lifter at the pins flex like a spring and let it pop out of the hole. i've considered drilling the center of the pins and threading the hole and putting a screw and a washer in the pins so they can't pop out of the hole. make it shouldered so when it's tight the lifter still will move.

From your opening comments you indicate it has shot around a 1000 rounds without issue. It is obvious that you have never cleaned the shotgun receiver or you would know what those pins on both sides of the receiver are all about. Take this as a learning moment and take the gun apart and give it a thorough cleaning, it really is overdue. You should strip it down after every 100 rounds, and I know people that do it after every use. Once you’ve done it a couple times it will become second nature. A well maintained firearm is a necessity to ensure reliability.

Gunsmith? Just pop the pin and drop the fire control assembly. One of the tabs for the elevator assembly that directs the round to the feed ramp has popped out of its hole somehow. Never had this specifically happen with my 500E but what happened was that the elevator arm rotates in the peg sets on either side of the gun. Partway through the action (about halfway through cycling the action slide assembly rearward) the guide rods, bolt slide and bolt pinch up a bit on the elevator arms (about 1.5mm on my Mossberg) and with enough shock from aggressively cycling the gun the the elevator arm can become unseated from that hole, tilt and halt the round, bolt and elevator arm. One of a couple of problems with Mossbergs certain parts being improperly machined from factory. Hell you very well may have problems with the round inhibitor rod and start getting double feeds. Hate to say it the way to fix it if you ain't got any other option is to take the elevator arm assembly and just gently bend the arms outwards at a more obtuse angle (not much, one or two degrees of pitch on either side) so as to create more spring tension to hold its pegs more firmly in their settings. My disclaimer is that THIS IS NOT RECOMMENDED but it is how I'd fix it out in the field because I needed the gun.

Why would you reload your shotgun with one hand and less all you have is one arm you are using the whole weight of that gun to reload itself which will put a lot of pressure inside mechanism

Heat your receiver with an oxy acetylene torch until it melts. You shouldn't own a shotgun.

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. ,,

A mossberg 500 is a great shotgun, You got to baby it a little compared to a 870. Fix it and sell it, use that money a go get a 870. Problem solved

If you didn't know that wasn't a pin, you've never cleaned or lubricated your firearm. That's probably what caused this.

12 million happy mossberg 500 owners. this guy likely dropped or set his gun down so hard it knocked the shell lifter out of place. had he cleaned his gun even 1 time He would have immediately knew what was wrong, and how to fix it with no gun smith needed. 1 minute into video I knew what the problem was/how to fix it. this is user error

If you don't know shit about the weapon leave it the hell alone. It's a time proven design like the 870. Those pins simply dont just work loose and that pin seems a bit short for the shotgun. It should be flush or very close too it on both sides. Tactifool

Uh no they actually do work loose if you drop the gun from even a height of one foot. I don't know if that's what happened here but that is one way this pin becomes recessed.

Mossberg quality is terrible. got a 590 brand new. Out of the box it wouldnt eject used shells. My gunsmith sent it back to the factory were it was repaired and sent back to me (warranty). Now it has the same issue as in this video... Realy bad quality and service.

Have you ever heard of "factory defects" ??? Mossburg is no different. Mossburg's are legendary as Great shotguns. Have you ever seen a BMW or a Mercedes broke down on the side of the rode ???,,, I have...I guess they're poor quality too huh ??? Remember the ONLY thing perfect in this Fallen World is God Almighty, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit along with their Holy Word...The Holy Bible !!!

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.
