Hello. I just bought a Mossberg 590A1 used. It was a police trade in. It's in pretty good condition aside from nicks from patrol use, some scratched paint from repeated cycling, and minor rust and slight pitting towards the chamber end of the barrel. Overall, nice buy for $350 shipped and FFL. Still, I want to replace any parts that get quickly worn out, but I'm not sure what those parts are. I know the magazine spring needs to be replaced but do you think there is anything else that will need replacing anytime soon? Also, how many shells do you think a 590A1 can send down range before it needs to be retired from use? I expect at least 500 shells before I need a new shotgun, but I'll be willing to add more upgrades and new parts if you think it will last longer. Wouldn't it last a couple thousand more shells with proper care? I intend on firing around 200 shells a year and the shotgun, just like with my rifles, pistols, and revolvers, will receive monthly inspections and oiling, quarterly complete cleaning even when not used, and some new parts after every round benchmark, so I'm hoping that I can fire a couple thousand more shells before it would be more efficient to just buy a new shotgun. By the way, I am looking at Wolff springs for the tube magazine and I need suggestions for anything else you think will need to be replaced anytime soon. Thanks.
