How to clean a Mossberg 500A

[StifflerMD]

I'm surprised you didn't take down all of it. Rip it apart man. It's a Mossberg you're not gonna hurt it.

[skywolf182]

do you take your choke out when you run the brush through it?

[RETROGIRL50]

This is a great informative video. I just got my first shotgun, Mossberg, and am looking for info on cleaning, maintainance, etc. Thanks! You're cute, btw!

[JJusticeification]

My Wal-Mart Mossburg is a piece of shit since I has to take it apart to clean it. Maybe they are great for cheap home defense and nothing else. But, my advice, is don't get it dirty because they are too hard to put back together.

[BRABBISS]

fuk wallmart u ass!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xMOWERYx]

isnt it a synthetic stock?

[LANpartylandser]

Hi. I quite liked your video. I have a Mossberg 500 as well, but it's a tactical model.

I hate niggers.

[MegaNibbels]

@CI321 the recoil for a 12 or 20 gauge is not very strong at all unless you use high brass but other than that its manageable unless you dont take a stance then it will knock you around or even on your butt

[slackstein2]

recoil is almost non existant for a guy my size

[xMOWERYx]

@slackstein2 I know what you mean.. This fat kid right here can shoot all day and wont feel it

[CI321]

Hey, very nice video, im looking at a mossberg 500, hows the re coil? does it kick hard or is it manageable

[squigs987]

@CI321 In my opinion it doesn't kick hard at all. Mine has a 18.5 inch barrel so its more of a home defense gun but I have heard great things about them for hunting with longer barrels.

[CI321]

@squigs987 cool, i might get one in a couple of years

[squigs987]

ROFL LAWL ROFL LAWL ROFL LAWL! YOU SAID HOPPIES! ITS HOPPES. ITS NOT A RABBIT. But overall... good video, I am thinking about buying one of the Mossberg 500's.

[MrJayscotch34]

6:05 Don't put a wire brush down a barrel like that, it drops dust and crap into the firing pin.

[Bob67755]

Mossbergs a peice man

[kingadaboom]

@Bob67755 a nice piece :D

btw you spelt piece wrong

[kstabler100]

how do you take the magazine off of this specific model?

you can email me at kenneth_stabler@yahoo.com

thanks

[TheDaddyNicc]

Good job on the video. Straight and to the point with insight on the necessities. Thanks for the time, helped me a lot.

[Debrposth]

Just got my childhood gun back from my parents (its been 35 years) Thank you for your awesome video to refresh my memory on gun cleaning. Your a good example of a confident mature young man!!!!!

[DeadGamePits4Life]

Can you attach a magazine extender to a 500A?

[macspudster]

Thx for the vid. Used my MB500 a few times over the last few weeks (yeah, I know, clean it after every go-round; will do that from here on out).

Haven't hunted in 30 years. Got a pheasant my first shot. WHOA!

Also got 2 quail and 1 other pheasant; all in my Bro-in-Law's 3-acre "backyard"...

[BAUMGART46]

nice vid

[cnnroker]

What's the difference between the 500, and 500A?

[jdmusic07]

Nice vid man. You're a lot more responsible than I was at your age.

[slackstein2]

@jdmusic07 Thanks for the possitive feedback and i gotta admit a few of my early videos on this channel were wreckless but then i realized im representing more than just myself on this channel so i straightened up lol

[MILLATERYBOY]

can you change the foregrip on the mossberg 500a

[raiderncpit]

very very informative video

[dwightinutah]

I am a novice with shotguns. I spent 4 years in the Marine Corps (over 30 years ago) and used to clean my M-14 every night. However, I have never owned a shotgun. I was unsure about using a wire brush to clean the barrel. Your video has been very helpful so I can clean my new Mossberg 500 after firing it and not worry about screwing something up.

[slackstein2]

@dwightinutah Im glad this video helped you out! Thanks for serving this great country no matter how long ago it was!

[giorgos0509]

@dwightinutah

my friend, be extra careful, because in models 500 and 590, barrels are unchromed. That means that the inside of the barrel is very sensitive to corrosion. You should clean it always after every shooting activity. And to clean it with the copper brush (putting a little barrel oil after that). this long chord will not help you to take out all the dirty (and you have dirty from firing powder and also little pieces from the "Pb" spheres...).

[BALJIT147]

if the snake gets really dirty do u have to by a new one?

[slackstein2]

@BALJIT147 nope just put it through the washer believe it or not it accutually works

[BALJIT147]

@slackstein2 o ok cool

[briankofke]

Thanks for posting. I just got one as well; it's a nice gun!

[slackstein2]

@briankofke I love my mossberg ive put this gun through hell, dirt, mud, freezing, raining, hell ive dropped it a few times and it has never failed to crack when i squeeze that trigger. Thanks for watching!

[briankofke]

@slackstein2 You got that right buddy! There is a reason the military chose this one and only shotgun model!

[Hollowman110886]

Thank you very informative.

[KRMfreemedia]

oiling the mechanism that houses the firing pin.... good or bad? firing pin itself?

[raisedinwisconsin]

does it come with a improved cylinder choke?

[BA8762]

"Thoroughly cleaning your gun" consists of cleaning between vented ribs? WTF?! What about all the internal parts? Seems like you just might want to get the carbon and dirt out of the inside, you know, the parts vital for your gun to actually fire, then maybe clean your beloved "vented ribs".

[spotieotie]

Thanks dude. Nice video, great help! Just bought one! Same exact kind as yours. Can't wait to shoot it. Thanks again

[slackstein2]

@spotieotie No problem! I like making videos so you guys can take care of your guns and keep em for years!

[cnutz648]

dude your gun is cool... u should clean it loaded while its in ur mouth... great video... you should do it with your shirt off.

[Lonewolf6565]

@cnutz648

wow wtf?!

[cbrnate]

@Lonewolf6565 he's an anti-gun smartass

[Lonewolf6565]

@cbrnate

i couldnt tell asshole...

[ratherBtrainin]

hey boss im having a really hard time with my 535 12 gauge pump with it kickin out the last shell like you said...if you could tell me how you fixed that that would be good thanks man

[grabmygoobers]

thanks for the video I just got a Mossberg 500 pistol grip. Your video helped answer a lot of question. This is my first shot gun.

[slackstein2]

congrats on the new gun and im glad the video helped you out thanks for watching!

[aquaman0167]

From Wiki

A 500 is a basic Mossberg 500 receiver shotgun. Unless the gauge is stated, it's assumed it's a 12. The 500A is simply stating it as a "12 gauge" 500 in its name. The Mossy 500A is a 12 gauge model 500, the 500B is a 16 gauge model 500, the 500C is a 20 gauge etc. There was no 28 gauge so there is no 500D, contrary to many sources, so the next one was the .410 called the 500E.

A 12 gauge model 500 and a 500A are the same gun.

[pennylucychassis]

oh shit thats crazy! thats what i say IF YOU TAKE CARE OF THE GUN IT WILL TAKE CARE OF YOU!

[kindaawesome08]

thanks this is a really good video. I just bought the same gun. Its the first weapon I've ever owned.

[Deerhunter24040]

Is a mossberg 500 the same as a mossberg .410?

[WulfBand]

I never have heard about that snake. I'm gonna get one. Thanks man

[shadow6757]

i have a mossberg 500 how do you know if it is the a model

[slackstein2]

look at the belly of the gun right in front of were you put the shells in the magazine and it should say Mossberg 500 or Mossberg 500A its basically the same weapon. Thanks for watching!

[shadow6757]

ok thats what i thought. I asked because you cant change out the forend on the

500A but you can with the 500. thanks for replying

[sotik]

I have just been tying fishing like to an old torn up shirt and pulling down my barrel, but after watching this I will make sure to get a proper cleaning kit and barrel snake.

[slackstein2]

That works, but the bore snake is a great tool i have it for all my gun calibers and im glad this video showed you what to get. Thanks for watching!

[revhurley]

Hey buddy sorry to bother just had a quick question. That hoppe's elite, is it used also as a lubricant or just for cleaning. and by the way everything works great thanx..

[slackstein2]

Its no problem at all and Hoppes elite is strictly just a cleaner but its by far the finest cleaner i use on all of my firearms. For lubricant try remoil it works great

[Etrician55]

i ahve an 870 hasnt jammed once my friend has a mossberg 535 and the thing jams like a basterd, i just hear from everyone mossberg are cheap firearms

[slackstein2]

Hey sorry for removing your other comment i meant to hit reply and i hit remove, but what i didnt elaborate on in the video is that the military uses the Mossberg 590 it is the only weapon between the 870 and a winchester that didnt fail from 3000 rounds of 00 buckshot, but agian the military also uses the 870 my prefeance is Mossberg but thanks for watching!

[dsiss45]

what about the inside of the gun. like trigger and inner safty. u should be clean that to

[slackstein2]

Once a year i completely disassemble the gun and clean the entire thing. Thanks for watching

[dsiss45]

if its not to much trouble u think u could do a for disassemble for me. i have the same gun an i am wondering how u do it. thanx

[slackstein2]

I will try my best to get that video out for you as soon as i can.

[dsiss45]
