Description
This Mossberg Model 500 is a pump-action shotgun chambered in 20 gauge, configured for home defense or utility use with a factory pistol grip and no shoulder stock. The firearm features an 18.5-inch barrel with a cylinder bore and is fitted with a brass bead front sight at the muzzle. The metal surfaces are finished in a traditional bluing, while the furniture consists of a ribbed black polymer forend and a textured diamond-pattern synthetic pistol grip. The receiver is equipped with a top-mounted tang safety and is drilled and tapped for optic mounts. The barrel is clearly marked on the left side with Mossberg Chambered For 2 3/4 and 3 In. Shells — 20 Ga. – 18 1/2 In. Cylinder Bore — and includes a safety warning for the Eagle Pass, TX facility. The top of the receiver is stamped Mossberg North Haven, CT U.S.A. 500 20 Ga. and the serial number V0525289 is located on the lower left side of the receiver. This lot includes a yellow cable trigger lock and a Spanish-language owner’s manual. Note – All firearms require a federal 4473 background check.
Condition report:
The shotgun is in good used condition. The blued finish on the receiver and barrel shows some minor surface scratches, handling marks, and very light thinning at the high points, but remains largely intact. The polymer forend and pistol grip are in good condition with crisp texturing and no visible cracks. The bore is bright and clean with no evidence of pitting or significant frosting. The pump action functions smoothly when cycled manually, and the trigger and safety appear to operate correctly; however, this firearm has not been function-tested with live ammunition.
