Magazine capacity is 5 rounds of 2 3/4 inch shells, or 4 rounds of 3 inch shells, 5 + 1 fully loaded capacity on 2 3/4 inch.

Surface detractions on this 500A are minimal to moderate, principally a half dozen streaks on the right side of the receiver and forend rear. We rate it as Very Good, 80 to 85 percent vicinity by our estimate. Photos, at any rate, ought to suffice for our distinguished shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright and clean. We estimate this Mossberg has been fired fewer than 200 times, from the absence of any wear on its slide arms.
