Mossberg 590A1 FTF downloaded

[jrumann59]

I was at teh range playing with the new to me, bought from a member here, Mossberg 590A1. I was finishing my range tiime and had 2 slugs left, I loaded them into the tube, pumped nothing. Turned it to side racked again round chamber, fired, racked the pump last round FTF turned it on its side again rack and chambered. Only happened this one time with two rounds. Ran flawlessly when fully loaded. I am thinking maybe time for a new mag spring and maybe the follower?

I would recommend contacting Mossberg customer service first. With the serial number they may have a good idea of the issue and should send you the parts you need as a warranty case.

Replaced the mag spring with a Wolffe and it is right as rain.

Wondering if it was kept loaded for years and wore out the spring?

From research i have d one mossberg has notoriously bad springs in their pump guns. I have seen pics where a new pump gun spring extends out a couple of inches from the end of the mag tube. The wolffe extends out 8 inches from the end of the mag tube and I picked up 1 extra round of capacity

I've had a 20" for 4 years with no issues. Gets taken out about every other month and is loaded in the safe a month on and a month off.

I must take a look at these wolffe springs! thanks!
