    Mossbergs 500/590 Pros:
    If Ejector Breaks or Wears out a Flat Head Screwdriver will change it out

    If the Magazine Tube Gets damaged it unscrews for replacement, 870 require to be heated to losen solder and have a new on retinned and soldered back in.

    If the Feed Latches wear out or break no tools are needed, on an 870 you need a special staking tool to reinstall them correctly.

    Mossbergs safety is in a better place (Unless you add a pistol grip)

    Mossbergs Action Button is in a more convient location

    Mossberg had dual extractors which lends to better reliability under adverse conditions.

    Mossbergs PASSED Military testing

    Mossbergs are cheaper and lighter

    Mossberg didnt have to redesign the feed assembly do prevent doublefeeds for patrol shotguns. Vibration and bumps would cause a shell to release with the pump forward and it would jam the gun. (Double feed will render the gun useless with the old design)

    590's have the best ghostring sights for a production shotgun

    Mossbergs (Since the receivers are aluminum) tend to rust less than blued or parkerized 870's

    Downside is when you have to do a slug changeover you loose 2 rounds instead of one on an 870.



    590/Ghost Ring Model with a speed feed stock, Surefire Pump, and Mesa Side Saddle is a perfect pump shotgun.

    Update!

    So time for an update. I got a bunch of Ebay gift card last Christmas and bought several Mossberg parts for my 500 which is I guess a 590 clone now? I now have a 590 heavy barrel, metal trigger assembly, speedfeed stock, replaced the pinned one piece forend with a ribbed forend on a tube action assembly, metal safety, fiber optic front sight. Pretty smooth now as well.
