Picked up a Mossberg 590A1 8+1 with ghost ring sights and speed feed stock. Went with the intention of picking something up a little more economical but what can I say this puppy is mean looking, and I got a decent tax return. Field stripping was fairly easy considering I really have no experience with shotguns other then pulling the trigger on some friends here and there. Went to the range today just to test her out. Put some birdshot and buckshot through it with zero problems. This gun is a freaking TANK. Total overkill for me but hey sometimes you got to go nuts haha. My only complaint is the length of pull seems long might try swapping it out for something shorter or adjustable. Anyone have any stock suggestions? Do they make shorter butt pads for this stock the one on it is about an inch thick. Also looking for a good idea for HD ammo. I live in an apartment building so buckshot and slugs would probably be out of the question (alhough I'll have some on hand for a shtf scenario) So what do you all suggest as far as ammo goes. I bought some Winchester military buckshot and those new pdx slug and buck shot combo just to try it out. I also need to pick up a bayonet just to add to the mean factor. I bet a burglar would sh*t himself of he saw you coming with that haha
