Polished trigger\components Polish mag tube Lightened the trigger and smoothed out the action Says he paid $620 and put $200 of gunsmithing into it..... Worth it?

breid1970 327 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 If you want a good shottie, go with the mossberg 500 serries and turn it into a 590 super easy. Awesome shotguns if you ask me. Keep your ammo bubba. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dad2142Dad 6,559 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hell no, have one and can't give it away What are the issues? Spring assist is awkward (Mossberg 500 is a much better choice), not a lot of aftermarket stuff. I mean it shoots for the 300 I paid for it. No way would I trade 2K of ammo for it.

misterT 174 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 $620 for a generic PUMP shotgun WOW, did he buy it last year when the Obama ban on freedom and democracy was looming over head? He might as well keep it and chalk it up to experience, he cant afford to sell it! I think we will see a lot more deals like this as many of those that bought during the panic try to sell their mistakes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ChileRelleno 7,071 Posted August 6, 2013 Report Share Posted August 6, 2013 (edited) For ammo? No frikkin way. I wouldn't acquire it, one way or another, cash or trade. Just too many other well known brands/models to be had for a decent price, even at today's market. Average price for a NIB Tristar Tec-12, $530-$550. Price of Mods are damned worthless in valuing a gun unless the Mods/Parts or Smithing is exceptional. Used $450. 2K of Golden Tiger is about $500 online, without S/H included. Math doesn't work.

breid1970 327 Posted August 7, 2013 Report Share Posted August 7, 2013 I got mine with ghost ring sights trirail on forearm and hard shell sleeve attached to t6 style stock. I adore my Mossberg. Looking for a good sling mount for it now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

XD45 7,124 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 Where is this shotgun made, China? I have a Norinco 870 clone that I paid $199 for new. It's solid as a rock. Some 870 stuff will fit, some won't. I put a knoxx stock on it and the only issue was that I had to buy a metric mounting bolt. Paid almost as much for the stock as I did for the shotgun, but well worth it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Joe**Dirt 21 Posted August 11, 2013 Report Share Posted August 11, 2013 I have a Tri-Star auto loader with a 28" barrel. I use it to shoot skeet. I paid $300 for it many years ago. I haven't had any problems with it. Are they good guns?? I think so. Is it worth the trade? I don't think so. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVInopUELnU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
