While no-one will accuse them of being fancy, the Mossberg 500 is an old and proven design, so I would not rush out and dump it because one brand of shells would not eject. Locate a gunsmith who does shotgun work, explain the difficulty to him and get his recommendation. Perhaps the ejection port could be opened up slightly, perhaps there is a problem with the ejector, perhaps simply switching brands of ammo will correct the problem. We all want our guns to perform flawlessly, and in the case of a 12 gauge pump gun, it should handle any commercial ammo you can throw at it. The problem is likely a minor one, and the fix inexpensive.

Federal shells are 3 inch are the only ones that both my friends 870 express' jam with. I believe it's the shells not the gun.

Your Canadian Tire still sells firearms. WOW.

Was thinking the same thing.......I remember years ago looking at them there plus getting the "Fall and Winter" Catalog.
