Mossberg makes a decent pump gun, but I would steer clear of their semi
I wouldn't worry too much about the aluminum receiver.
So you're saying if you're a negligent or stupid gun owner, you can damage an aluminum frame more easily. I agree with you. Use the gun the way it's meant to be used and use a little thought before torquing the wrong bolt into it, and it will last longer than the owner.Take a look at what happens if you use the wrong bolt when swapping a standard stock for tacticool stock. Too long a bolt ( a common mistake) crushes the aluminum, which ain't about to happen if it were steel. If you think an aluminum receiver will last as long as steel, I have a bridge to show you.
And it's not like Mossberg is the only company with aluminum alloy receivers. Virtually any lightweight shotgun uses an aluminum alloy receiver, including the Benelli Super Black Eagle II and M2, the Winchester SX3, the Beretta A400, and Browning's Maxus and lightweight Citori models. These aren't exactly disposable shotguns.
