Description:
The Mossberg model 500 has never been as prestigious as the arch-competitor Remington 870, but it’s just as tried, and just as true. Here is a special purpose variant specimen of Mossberg’s Military and Police series 500s. Manufacturer, of course, is O.F. Mossberg & Sons of New Haven, CT. Model is 500 Thunder Ranch Breacher, Special Purpose series; factory sku is 52130. This is a civilian market version of Mossberg’s LE 500 Military series. Type is pump or slide action shotgun. Construction is steel barrel and working parts all built into an alloy receiver that undercuts the 870 on weight, with durable synthetic stock and corn cob type forend that is outfitted with an integral bottom edge 13 slot Picatinny Light Rail, and two lateral 5 slot rails. Finish is durable military Parkerized, with the Thunder Ranch Logo neatly executed on the right side of the receiver. Trigger group housing is high impact black polymer, with .292 smooth faced combat trigger. Safety is top tang type. Barrel is 3 inch chambered 18 1/2 inch Heavy Barrel parkerized, with 6 slot sawtooth oversized breacher muzzle. Operators should not try firing muzzle against wood or any other surface, unless they have the word Stupid clearly tattoed on their foreheads. Sight is steel housed red high visibility fiber optic, on the order of the old Ithaca 37 Ray-Bars. Magazine capacity is 5 rounds of 2 3/4 inch shells, or 4 rounds of 3 inch shells, 5+1 capacity on 2 3/4 inch shells. Weight empty is 6 3/4 pounds, with center of gravity at the breech. Buttstock measures 13 7/8 inches from the trigger face to the end of the 7/8 inch black rubber factory recoil pad. Stock drop is 1 1/2 inches at the comb, and 2 1/2 inches at the butt, with a right hand cant of about 3/4 inch. This model 500 comes to us from Mossberg’s distribution system. It is what we call a factory demo, probably a sales rep’s sample or a showgirl at a Firearms Industry trade show. Surface detractions are negligible to minimal on this shotgun, as its photos show. We rate it as Excellent, perhaps Near Mint, but photos ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Often a person can spot the letter U stamped on the left side of the receiver above the serial number. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. This 500 Special Purpose comes in a relabeled Mossberg Factory Box with factory lock, instruction manual, NSSF and NRA flyers. If this shotgun was test fired, it was fewer than 20 times. Replacement pricing on mossberg com was $500 on this shotgun. We’re offering the Mossberg 500 Thunder Ranch Breacher in the photos, however, for only $ 339.00. No one should fire any shotgun muzzle against wood, unless one has the word Stupid prominently tattoed on his or her forehead. The same holds true for firing a cruiser grip shotgun with the grip anywhere near the shooter’s face.

Don't let your buddies use your account. Registered user must be the buyer, with his or her own money. Buying firearms and related items for other people can result in felony charges. Don't try, either, to circumvent any law; for example, a California civilian may not buy a high capacity magazine and have it shipped to his brother-in-law in Nevada. That is a felony.
