Some wear on the finish of the magazine tube.And the forend and pump action seems a tad loose(or maybe well broke in)...But it shoots and cycles fine as long as you dont baby it when you cycle a shell.I have only owned one Mossberg prior,so I dont have much to compare it too.My boss(buddy before he was a boss) said if I helped him get this bonus at work he would give me 100$...I told him "I may be interested in deal on the gun"..He said if he keeps the bonus and gets 50$ more the gun is mine...So I am kinda getting it for 50$ or 150$ depends how ya look at it...............I might try one of these cabelas slug scopes on it at some point
On a slightly off topic note..
What is your or anyone's thoughts on Del-ton(DTI) AR complete rifles?I am wanting to get into a AR for cheap(and the warranty makes me feel warm&fuzzy)..The models I am looking at seem to be going for around 700$....I have been wanting a AK an a cheap bolt 223 for awhile..So I figured the AR is a compromise in one single gun...Just wanting a recreational AR for varmints and the end of the world..Is Chrome Moly Vanadium a chrome lined barrel?...Most of the options seems similar from model to model with the exception of the cheapest model which seems to have no dust cover or forward assist and says steel barrel...Is a heavier barrel gun with more total weight better is a lighter weight model fine??? I know the benefits of a heavy barrel,but I aint sure if I need it...I basically want a AR that will do it all from close range to long range Thanks a for all the advice Charles!!
