The only information I have about the Mossberg 590 I obtained using the search feature on this forum. I am curious what kind of deal I got, since I feel like it was a steal.
A friend recently graduated from basic law enforcement training with this 590 that is 6 months old, and has less than 200 rounds through it. He didn't take care of it at all, and it was covered in surface rust that came off with a little oil and a rag (no pitting). Much to my horror, the boy said he NEVER cleaned it (alledgedly did not know how) and it showed, but 30 nitro-soaked patches later and a little gun-blaster or whatever it's called from wally-world, and the thing looks brand new.
20" barrel with 8+1 capacity
speedfeed synthetic stocks
ghost ring sights
plastic trigger guard/safety
He included:
150 rounds Lawman .40 S&W 180 gr FMJ
12 guage soft bore brush
Hoppe's Protecto Plastic/Foam Case
15 Remington slugs
20 Remington/Winchester 00 Buck
5 Winchester sabot slugs
He sold all that including the shotgun for $200.
What do you think?
If I wanted to sell this (which I don't) what might I get for the shotgun alone?
Where can I get a metal safety?
Thanks for your opinions/information.
