When I had purchased my Mossy 500 a year ago it had no problems and didn't seem to have this sort of cosmetic issue inside the receiver before Sunday 4/22/2012 I was cleaning my shotgun after shooting about 200 Rounds of Federal 12ga Target Loads and 100 Rounds of Winchester 12ga Universal Loads (I was skeet shooting with some buds of mine) I didn't notice anything as I was shooting but the next day when I started to strip it down and clean every thing I noticed a large gouge in the receiver where I could see the bare aluminum. I was just wondering if this is normal or if I should go get it checked out. If you guys have a Mossberg 500 I would like to see if you have this similar issue.

Yes, mine has some wear there too.

Inside on the top of the receiver, there are a few spots where the anodizing wore off. It's an aluminum receiver, so it's going to wear some. Unless there are visibly deep gouges into the metal, and just not the finish worn off, I wouldn't worry. Yours looks similar to mine, but can't really tell from your pics.
