Mossberg Silver Reserve II

stubblejumper said:
It wasn't the fact that a cheap gun malfunctioned that was amusing, it was the shooters reaction, to the malfunction. He was shooting at the first target of a double, and when he recovered from the recoil, he went to swing on the second target, only to discover that there wasn't one, because the first trigger pull broke both targets. He missed this, because the extra recoil of both barrels going off at once, threw him off. He then opened his gun to discover that both shells were fired. He was totally confused until we explained to him what we had witnessed. He laughed with everyone, when he realized what had happened.
The same person owns $3000 guns, and it wouldn't have mattered if the doublefire had happened with one of those guns, or to someone else with a $20,000 gun.

Maybe I look at these things differently stubblejumper but a poorly manufactured firearm is a poorly manufactured firearm... And maybe this cause some laughs but if it was poorly machined breach or badly manufactured safety the reults might have been different...

We have a lady who shoots clays with a Silver Reserve and it has never failed even after years of use and thousands of rounds. I would use one any day and I think that your Dad got you a fine gun. Personnaly, I would just use it. Ignore all the negative and let the gun speak for itself.

Well, I took the gun out today and shot a few rounds of skeet and it performed as expected. I like the gun and will use it as long as I can or until something else strikes my fancy and then I will put it on the wall.

Thanks for all the input folks.
 
they might be alright for hunting, But at our club they are on the "avoid at all times list", tigger sector problems, soft firing pins and cracks in stocks due to poor fit up. Everyones idea of heavy use is different. To me about 7000 rounds a year is normal. these guns will not take that kind of use.
