Mossberg 500 Review

The Mossberg 500 is a mil-spec manufactured shotgun, meaning that it is not your collector's finely tuned gun. It means that it is produced to military specifications which emphasize generous tolerance, durability and dependability.

The 500 pump shotgun is one of the most versatile shotguns on the market with interchangeable barrels. That allows the owner to change from sporting clay, to turkey, to waterfowl to deer without having to buy a half dozen guns. Important to the average hunter and shooter.

 The Mossberg 500 pump shotgun has a capacity of 5 in the magazine and one in the chamber for a total of 6 rounds ready to shoot. Recoil with this shotgun is average for a 12 gauge which means that shooting a hundred or so rounds gives you a satisfyingly sore shoulder. As far as speed goes, the gun is as fast as any pump, and utterly dependable. It comes in the box with 3 chokes and a wooden dowel plug for states that restrict the capacity of a shotgun when bird hunting. The wooden plug is a nice piece to throw away. After market metal plugs are available and are desirable if you have the misfortune to live in a state that requires it.

BOTTOM LINE: The Mossberg 500 is a shotgun that is dependable and durable, manufactured by military specific standards. It is a fun, worry free gun that is a load of fun to shoot clays or hunt with. Mossberg makes a wide range of accessories including barrels that allow you to turn your gun into anything you want it to be. Those are the most important things. Then, you only have to pay about $200 for one new in the box. That means you have the added benefit of being able to throw it in the back of your truck, lay it down in the field, drop it, swat bugs with it or paddle a boat with it and not worry about hurting it. And that's worth a lot.

Remington 870 Review

 The Remington 870 the most successful pump action shotgun ever made, as well as some things you really need to know about your 870.

 With numbers literally in the millions and different models for every imaginable purpose one would ever use a shotgun for, the 870 is as ubiquitous as a hammer.  The original Wingmaster holds a soft spot in the hearts of countless duck and upland game hunters, and the short barreled versions can be found in police cruisers not just from coast to coast, but around the globe.
 As a bird gun, the 870 is legendary.  Most shotguns are built for the “average” person and have very similar stock dimensions on paper, so one would be tempted to think that fit wise, they’re all about the same.  Nothing could be further from the truth.  The typical stock dimensions for length of pull, drop at the heel, drop at the comb, and cast may all show nearly identical numbers, but press that stock between your shoulder and cheek and it becomes readily apparent that not all shotguns are equal.
 The Remington 870 and it’s semi-auto brother the 1100 managed to tap some sort of black magic, and “fit” the “average” guy just plain better than most other shotguns.  The shape of the stock goes beyond those critical dimensions for things like width of the stock, shape of the pistol grip, width of the butt, length of the butt and how the pistol grip transitions to the receiver and onto the sighting plane and rib of the gun.  For these unmentionable measurements, Remington managed to discover some sort of magic formula that few shotguns in history have ever achieved.

ALMOST FLAWLESS
 To this day, the Remington 870 is the most winning pump action shotgun in most every competitive category in which a pump action shotgun can be pressed into service.  Are there better pump guns out there?  Yeah, maybe…and maybe not.  Regardless of the task, regardless of the class, or game chased, the 870 can hold its own with any pump gun EVER built.

This is not to say that the 870 is without fault, just that it’s faults are few, and few people are even aware of them.  This is remarkable because literally every gun has faults, and the fact that there are millions of people with 870’s who aren’t even aware there are weaknesses in the design is remarkable.

The most prevalent issue with the 870 is what happens to the action when you “short stroke” the action.  By short stroke, I mean pull the forend back not quite all the way, and then attempt to push it forward.  I say attempt, because if there’s a shell in the magazine when you short stroke, that forend most certainly isn’t about to go forward.  Short stroke an 870 and you lock that action up tighter than a vault.  Back in the day when the 870 was a popular tactical competition gun gunsmiths would cut a slot opening on the shell riser which would allow the shooter to use something like a key or anything handy to push the shell back into the magazine tube and un-jam the action.

Later on, shooters found that if you give the gun a smart smack butt first on the ground, often it would jar the action loose and put you back into action.  Well, it only took about 35 years, but eventually Remington got around to correcting this little annoyance.  Remington engineers devised a clever little ‘tab’ they cut in the shell riser that allowed a bit of give for the jammed shell.  Now when you bind the action from a short stroke, you just forcibly cycle the action again and all comes loose and you’re back in service. Older 870s without this feature can be easily retrofitted  – the parts are available at Brownells for well under $100 – if you desire that little extra peace of mind.

TACTICAL 870

 The 870’s weight and balance have made it an excellent choice as a tactical pump gun.  Those precious few extra ounces soak up a good amount of recoil, which is always welcome when shooting maximum loads of buckshot.  I don’t care how manly you are, slugs and buckshot are not enjoyable to shoot out of a 12ga.

What’s more, the 870 truly is the Chevy small block of tactical shotguns – if there’s an aftermarket part in existence, it not only exists for the 870, but was likely made for the 870 first.  An over-zealous equipment junkie can quickly triple the weight and size of his 870 if his wallet is up to the task.

For tactical use, a good set of rifle sights goes a long way, but don’t let anyone tell you that you have to have rifle sights or an expensive set of ghost ring sights to make an 870 perform with slugs.  People have been placing Foster style slugs spot on target out to 65-70 yards for around a century now.  Rifle sights and ghost rings make it a little easier, but it’s more about the shooter than the gadgets he puts on his scatter gun.

I’ve always been a fan of the rifle sight equipped Remington factory “deer” barrel, preferably equipped with Rem-Choke interchangeable chokes.  Now all the slick tactical salesmen will tell you that you need to have specially setup barrel that’s been back bored and ported so you can get maximum pattern performance out of your tactical gun.  They’ll also tell you that backboring will make your 870 recoil like a .223 bolt rife, which is another lie.

Look, people who really know shotguns can tell you that you adjust shot patterns with a choke, not by backboring.  And while backboring can help patterns some, it’s really not an effective way to deal with recoil.  Yes, it can reduce recoil, but it is the most expensive way to do so, and for all that cost, it’s theleast effective.  Save your money for a good recoil pad and a mercury recoil reducer; your hard-earned greenbacks will go a lot farther that way.

Well folks, there are some brain droppings on the 870, hope you found this helpful.

AR-15 What You Need to Know

So you want to buy an AR15:

First you should decide on what format you want, lets take it one piece at a time:

BARREL:
This is probably the most important decision you have to make, as it is the heart of the rifle. 

Length:
The original M16 had a 20” long barrel. As the platform has evolved, all kinds of lengths have developed. The 20” barrel has some advantages- including greater velocity and longer sight radius than shorter barrels. The increased velocity is important if you are going to be shooting long range (say over 300-600 yards) or if you are going to be shooting at something which can shoot back at you. The latter is true because some military ammunition relies on fragmentation, (the bullet yawing and then breaking up inside the body) in order to cause damage and stop a person/animal. The faster the bullet is traveling, the farther out it will have enough velocity for the bullet to fragment. Look at the "Ammo Oracle" to learn more about this, as well as more than you could possibly ever remember about AR ammunition. The increased velocity has another advantage, in that the bullet will have a flatter trajectory, and thus hitting objects at unknown distance will be slightly easier, as errors in estimating the distance, or correcting for bullet drop or wind drift become slightly less important. The increased sight radius is useful, as it improves the shooter’s ability to shoot accurately. Because the front and rear sights are farther apart, any error in misalignment at the time of firing will be smaller as it is extrapolated out to the target. Note that the longer barrel is not more accurate, the sight radius simply makes it easier for the shooter to shoot accurately. This advantage disappears as soon as a telescopic or red dot sight is added to the equation. If you want to shoot at very long distances, for example long range target shooting, varmint hunting or sniping you might consider a 24” barrel. This increases your velocity, and adds to all of the advantages noted above except sight radius. Most 24” barrels use the same sight radius as the 20” rifle, unless they are specifically set up as a “race gun” for long range target shooting. 

The next common shorter length is the 18”. I believe this length either evolved, or was made popular due to the SPR “Special Purpose Rifle” concept. The idea here is to have a rifle used by someone who is a better than average shot in a sniper type role, without going to a full blown sniper rifle. The goal is accuracy at long range, and the 18” is seen as a good compromise between the 14.5” M4 and the full 20” rifle.

The next common length is 16” which has evolved because of our laws in the US. The Army (feel free to correct me if I am wrong, I am not in the military, nor do I claim to be an expert on this) has decided that for the most part a shorter barrel is more useful. They have gone to the M4 which has a 14.5” long barrel. In the US it is illegal to own a rifle with a barrel shorter than 16” unless it is registered as a “short barreled rifle” which requires special paperwork and some extra $ to the .gov folks. Thus evolved the 16” barrel. The advantage to this is that you have a barrel which is handier to move around with, swings easier, is lighter, and you don’t have to register it and pay extra dough to the government. Probably the 16” is the most common length these days, most shooters having agreed with the army’s assessment that you don’t gain that much with the extra 4”, and the compromises are worth it to have a quicker handling gun. This is especially true for civilians who are not limited to FMJ ammo, and can select an ammunition which is not as dependent on fragmentation and velocity for self defense. It should be noted that the original 16” barrels used the “carbine length” gas system. This means that the distance from the chamber to the gas block (front sight base in most cases) on the 16” barrel is the same as what the military uses on a 14.5”. This distance is significantly shorter than the distance on a 20” barrel, because the gas pressure forcing the carrier and bolt backward only exists while the bullet is in the barrel. This pressure has to be present for a critical length of time, and thus with a shorter barrel, that time has to start sooner in the cycle. This results in a harsher recoil than one sees with a rifle length gas system, and potentially more problems with extracting the bullet from the chamber, as the rifle is now trying to do this while the pressure in the chamber is higher. The smart folks at Armalite came up with the idea of moving the gas system in the 16” rifle down the barrel a ways from where it would be on the 14.5” design, and they invented the “midlength gas system” (middy for short). This design is slightly easier on the components involved, as there is slightly less pressure in the chamber when the rifle is trying to extract the bullet, and there is less force transmitted to the carrier. This design also gives a slightly longer sight radius, and also allows the attachment of a normal designed ever important bayonet. 

Obviously, the 14.5” is next. There is actually a way around the law noted above concerning SBRs that we should note here. If you attach an “extended” flash hider (Smith Vortex, SDI Extended A2, YHM Phantom, VLTOR Compensator, etc.) flash hider to the barrel in a “permanent” manner (for example by threading it on and then drilling a hole off center and driving a pin through it to keep someone from removing it) and the overall length of the combination is 16” or more, you have met the requirements. These barrels are usually referred to as 14.5” with pinned flash hiders. The down side to this is it makes things a little more difficult to remove the barrel and install most free float tubes, as with most the flash hider (FH) and front sight base (FSB) have to come off to install them. There are two piece free float rails which can be used to get around this as well. Again, the gains are maneuverability and portability, with the trade off of shorter sight radius and less muzzle velocity.

Once you get shorter than 14.5, you can go as far as you want. These rifles are designed mostly for shooting things in cramped quarters, and for easy maneuverability. The trade off is again lower velocity, and now significantly increased muzzle blast. These guns tend to be more particular about type of ammunition used, gas port location and size and need to be set up exactly right to run well. This is a fairly specialized area of ARs in my mind, and I have limited knowledge in this area so maybe someone else will come along to supplement my knowledge.

Material:

There are three common materials used in making barrels: 4140, 4150, and stainless steel (I believe 416 is the most common). Each has advantages and disadvantages. 4150 is the spec (as I understand it) for the military. There have also been discussions of 4150vs CMV which are over my head. Some companies use these terms interchangeably, and others do not, some will list their barrels as “4150 CMV“ while others will use one term or the other. In my mind these terms are interchangeable, but if someone wants to straighten me out, have at it Regardless, 4150 is apparently somewhat better than 4140 in standing up to the heat and abuse from full auto firing. I am not a metallurgist, but the folks who seem to know on page two say that the "40" vs. "50" has to do with an amount of carbon in the steel. More carbon gives a stronger steel, which is slightly harder to machine, but also more durable. The consensus seems to be that 4150 slightly better, slightly more expensive, and possibly a little harder to work with, but the differences may not be detectable in a rifle which is not used to shoot full auto. 

Either of these materials can be chrome lined. Chrome lining is a process which bonds chrome to the inside of the chamber and or barrel in a very thin layer. This is advantageous in that the chrome lining is harder and has more “lubricity” or “slipperiness” than the underlying chrome moly steel (4140 or 4150). This extends the life of the barrel (possibly 2-3 times as long) as well as making it easier to clean. Some companies offer only chrome lined barrels, some offer both, and some offer only non chrome lined. The general consensus seems to be that chrome lining is easily worth the few extra dollars you pay for it. It does have one down side, however. The process of bonding the chrome to the inside of the barrel is not as exact as the process of cutting the barrel in the first place, thus overall chrome lined barrels are SLIGHTLY less accurate than non chrome lined barrels. This is a generalization (as evidenced by the impressive accuracy of the FN SPR series which usually shows incredible accuracy in spite of having a chrome lined barrel). Most shooters will never notice the decrease in accuracy seen due to chrome lining, but if you are that good, and it is that important to you, then think about getting a rifle without it. Many say that the amount of accuracy lost is less than or equal to ½” at 100 yards, so if you shoot Wolf like me, you will never see it.

The final common material is stainless steel. Again, this seems to be a material which become more popular due to competition as well as the REECE/ SPR/ DMR evolution. Most stainless barrels are designed for accuracy. Obviously the alloy of stainless is designed to be less susceptible to corrosion, something which the chrome lining of a chrome moly barrel offers, but without the downside of decreased accuracy. Stainless is not as corrosion resistant, nor as durable as chrome lining, but is used where one decides the trade off for better accuracy is worth it. As I pointed out above, most shooters will not benefit significantly form using stainless, as either they or their ammunition is not accurate to see the difference. There have been some recent threads about the durability of stainless which have been fairly impressive, and obviously it has been meeting the needs of the military for a while now, so if accuracy is your main concern, consider stainless. Stainless is not usually chrome lined, but there have been a few custom runs of chrome lined stainless.

How long do these materials last? Good question. I have seen numbers tossed around concerning a chrome lined barrel lasting around 20,000 rounds (lets see: $200 for 1000 rounds of wolf... ?$4000 worth of cheap ammo?). There was a thread by one of the industry sponsors outlining a SBR with a stainless Wilson barrel with 16,000 rounds through it which still had decent accuracy. A non chrome lined non stainless barrel is often said to last half as long as a chrome lined one. Remember, that the military definition of "accurate enough" is no where near the same as someone who shoots high power rifle, and regularly goes out to 600 or more yards. Also, you bumpfiring fools, or full auto guys will get less life out of a barrel because as the barrel heats up, it becomes more susceptible to wear by continued firing. Thus, YYMV (Your Yardage May Vary).

Chamber

 First you have to know that there is 223 ammunition, and 5.56. The 5.56 is loaded to higher pressures for the military. When a barrel is manufactured the maker cuts the chamber he wants for it. A 223 chamber is slightly shorter in, and provides slightly more accuracy when used with 223 ammunition. This can cause a build up of too much pressure in the barrel if 5.56 ammunition is fired in a barrel with a 223 chamber. If you expect to shoot any kind of surplus ammo, you should make sure you buy a rifle with a barrel chambered to shoot it. This is slightly complicated by the "wylde" chamber. This is a compromise between the 223 and 5.56 chambers. It is intended to allow the user to fire 5.56 ammunition and yet improve on the accuracy of the 5.56 chamber. This is another option if you intend to shoot surplus ammo. Want to see the specs on different chambers? 

Twist So, rifle barrels have "rifling" in them. These are lands (high spots) and grooves (low spots) which run the length of the barrel. The lands engage a bullet and give it spin as it travels down the barrel, just like a quarterback puts spin on a football. The rate at which the bullet spins is determined by its speed as it travels down the barrel, and the rate at which the lands twist in the barrel. The twist is listed as "one in x" were x is the number of inches the bullet must travel down the barrel to complete a single revolution. Early ARs had 1:12 twist (1 revolution every 12 inches). However, as bullet design evolved, bullets became heavier and longer. Longer, heavier projectiles require faster twists in order to stabilize them. If they do not spin fast enough, they wobble as they go downrange, and you lose accuracy. If all you want to do is launch 45 grain bullets at prairie dogs with your rifle, you can get away with a 1:12 twist. Actually, the 1:12 will probably work up to 55 grain bullets. Most ARs sold these days are 1:9 or faster twists. The 1:9 will stabilize 55-69 grain bullets, and may sometimes stabilize 75s depending on the rifle. A 1:8 or 1:7 will stabilize 77 grain and up bullets. This is important if you intend to shoot at very long ranges where the ballistic coefficient of these bullets is really needed, or if you want to shoot the heavier Black Hills or Hornady ammunition which performs near or at the top for self defense. You need to decide what you want to do with your rifle from the start so you know what twist you will need.

Colt AR-15 M4 Carbine

More than not, the decision to buy a new gun comes from inside your heart. Even if you need a duty gun, or you have to pick from a list of allowable weapons for a specific job, most of us are going to buy the gun that feels right to us. For several generations of American gun owners, there is no gun that feels better or more right to buy than a Colt. Last weekend I was listening to Gun Talk Radio, and sure enough, a geezer gun nut called in to let Tom Gresham know that he had finally broken down and bought an AR-15. Why? Because he was finally able to buy a Colt.

Yes, the time has finally come when you can actually walk into most gun shops and buy a Colt AR-15 M4 Carbine. The models 6920 and 6940 that you see here were actually introduced back in 2009, and some have trickled into the consumer market for the past three years, but for the most part you didn’t see them. And prior to that, despite the fact that Colt is a major supplier of the M4 carbine to US Military, none of us had seen an AR from Colt since the old Colt Sporter days in the 80s before the ban era. Colt was decimated by lawsuits for many years, and through name and ownership reorganizations, Colt just kind of evaporated from the gun shop shelf consumer gun market. Thankfully, Colt is back, and the guns are absolutely top notch. We were able to shoot and test four of the newest M4 models over thousands of rounds of ammo in the course of three weeks or so with several shooters, and everyone was impressed with the new Colts.

The 6920 is a straight up patrol rifle. In fact the whole line is called the LE line, for Law Enforcement, but since the ban era is over for now, there is no law enforcement only restriction. The 6920 is meant to provide a high quality, one size fits all option for the law enforcement officer who just needs a reliable rifle with just the options that are needed for the task at hand. The 6920 carries a 16″ button rifled, chromed barrel with a six groove 1 in 7 inch twist rate, suitable for all combat 5.56 ammo. The bolt assembly is M16 grade, and both the bolt and barrel are magnetic particle inspected for imperfections. We were able to get both the SOCOM version from Colt, that comes equipped with a Knight’s Armament quad-rail handguard and rail covers, as well as the FDE-TALO version with the beige Magpul MOE handguard, forward grip and pistol grip. They also make the latter in an all black instead of beige.

The SOCOM comes with a MaTech Mil-Spec 200-600 yard rear sight, and the FDE comes with a Magpul rear flip up peep sight to match the other beige hardware. Both guns are drop dead gorgeous out of the box, and both guns I think send a message to the consumer market that these patrol rifles are no afterthought by a military defense contractor. Colt could have just fumbled together any kind of parts they wanted, stamp them with a Colt logo, and the guns would sell for hundreds more than a standard AR-15 M4. The guns are in fact hundreds more than a standard M4, but they come with parts that are themselves top of the line, military contractor provided, battle proven weapon system components that by themselves sell for those extra hundreds of dollars alone. Even the shoulder strap and cleaning kit are Mil-Spec, and serviceable. The Magpul guns come with two P-Mags each, and the SOCOM comes with two standard 30 round steel mags.

Could you trick out these guns to do more than they are out of the box? Of course. They are standard, impingement AR-15 M4s with Mil-Spec parts and standard rails. As you can see from the pictures, we added a rail section to the Magpull handguard for a light and laser combo. The modern AR-15 is made to expand and customize, but out of the box, as a patrol rifle, home defense rifle, even basic hunting rifle, the Colt 6920 will serve you wisely.

The 6940 is a rifle unique to Colt. The lower is the same as all the other guns, as is the barrel, the bolt, and the internals, but the upper itself is what is called “monolithic.” Look at the pictures and you will see the difference between it and the uppers of the 6920, as well as most AR-15 rifles you are probably familiar with. There is no break between the front handguard and the flat top rail. It is all one machined piece. This makes it ideal for high powered optics, and with specialty ammo like the frangibles from DRT (which we are hoping to get our hands on soon), the 6940 is perfect as a police sniper rifle, with the ability to operate in a close quarters firefight as well.

The rear sight on the 6940 is that same MaTech that is on the black 6920, but the front sight on the 6940 is not the standard AR-15 triangle. It still adjusts the same way, but it is a flip down, so you can mount an optic on the gun, but retain the ability to shoot with open sights. That solid monolithic upper is the most stable platform you will find on an AR-15 for long range optics, and the gun is extremely accurate. Even with the gun relatively hot on an oppressively hot south Florida afternoon with the sun in his face, our resident US Army Sniper Ben Becker was able to consistently nail 3 shot groups into about an inch at 100 yards. We are probably going to keep these guns and buy them from Colt, and with better ammo on a cooler day and better conditions, the 6940 will probably shoot 5 rounds at least into comfortably o 1 MOA. This is a pure-play police sniper rifle, and it comes with 2 steel 20 round mags, so you can shoot the gun prone with a bipod as you see in the pictures.

Now that most gun shops, including a lot of the GunsAmerica dealers, have these Colts, the smart gun nuts are pulling the trigger on them, both literally and figuratively, and actually just buying them, needed or not. We could find ourselves back into a new war if the President feels he needs it to get re-elected, and Colt could have to tail off consumer production to meet military contract demands yet again. If you have always dreamed of owning a Colt AR-15, even going back to the Sporter days, now would be the time to grab one. I have spoken to the dealers out there and the market has only been able to bear a very small margin for the dealers on these guns. That means they are a good buy right now, and a good investment for a collectible rifle down the road.

As a side note, no, don’t worry I’m not going to wax about my childhood like I was opening a story in one of the print rags lol, GunsAmerica put its money where its mouth is on this one. If you notice in the pictures, there are two of the beige 6920s. That is because, two weeks before Colt send us any review guns, we saw one of these for sale on GunsAmerica from a local Miami dealer who has sold on GA for years. That day it was ours, not figuring that Colt would get around to sending us review guns anytime soon. Then surprise, surprise, surprise, three guns showed up for us from the PR company for Colt that next week, go figure, so we got to shoot four guns for this article. And if they let us buy them, the other three are most likely staying here too. If you are a gun nut, there is no wrong reason to buy a Colt. You don’t really need a reason at all. It’s a Colt for heaven’s sake.
