I've posted this on another forum and got mixed replies. I'm interested to hear what you guys have to say about my situation (if you can even call it a situation)
Last night I brought home my new Mossberg 500, 18.5" persuader. I broke it down to clean and oil it, and my girlfriend picked up the trigger group and fired it. I didn't notice any cracks in the housing, but I'm just worried some damage may have been done to the springs. I'm not sure if this is anything to worry about, I just know that it's something you're not supposed to do. Any Mossberg buffs out there know if I should be concerned about this?
