Frequently Asked Questions
Mossberg 500 Centennial Limited Edition for sale
Is the Mossberg 500 worth it?
Mossberg 500s typically cost around $787, with listings ranging $123–$1,452 depending on configuration. Pump-action reliability, versatility across hunting, clay, and defense roles, and proven durability make them solid value. You get functional design over fancy features—a workhorse shotgun that lasts decades.
What is the lifespan of a Mossberg 500?
With proper maintenance, a Mossberg 500 can last decades and handle tens of thousands of rounds. Users commonly report reliable function over many years with minimal issues. Minor wear parts like springs may eventually need replacement, but the core shotgun typically outlasts most owners' shooting careers.
Does keeping a shotgun loaded ruin the spring?
Modern shotgun springs generally handle constant compression well, but some manufacturers of tube extensions note that keeping a shotgun fully loaded can weaken the spring over time. To be safe, consider downloading by one round during long-term storage and replacing springs periodically. Proper maintenance remains essential regardless of storage state.
What ammo is recommended for the Mossberg 500?
The Mossberg 500 chambers 12 gauge shells up to 3 inches. Birdshot suits clay shooting and small game, buckshot (#4 or 00) works for defense and deer hunting, and rifled slugs handle larger game. Standard 2¾" loads function reliably. Choose based on your intended use.
