The Mossberg 500 offers hunters a rugged, highly functional Pump-Action Shotgun at a value price. Military and law enforcement have accepted the Mossberg 500 pump shotgun for its simplistic design and reliability. Dual action bars prevent binding and twisting while cycling the action. A single, large locking lug locks the bolt into the barrel extension, ensuring a solid steel bolt-to-barrel connection that does not rely on the receiver for any strength. The corrosion resistant aluminum alloy receiver has a durable anodized finish, and the steel barrel is blued. Dual extractors take a solid hold on the shell's rim for reliable extraction. The tang safety is quickly reached with the thumb of either hand, making it naturally ambidextrous. The trigger assembly drops out easily for cleaning and maintenance with the removal of only 1 pin. The twin bead vent rib provides quick sight and target acquisition.
