Just a quick tip on putting screws in plastic since everyone's biggest complaint about the 715t is that it's plastic.

When you are putting all the screws back into plastic, put the screw in the hole and give it a little pressure then turn it counter-clockwise slowly until you hear a click. Stop when you hear the click and then screw it in. When you do it this way you put the screw back into the same threads as before instead of cutting new ones so the plastic lasts longer before you strip it.

Ok that's all I have to offer, now I must learn more about guns since I'm a noob.
 
Welcome to the nuthouse! That's a great trick for fastening anything threaded. A torque driver would be a cheap handy tool for that job also.
 
What torque setting you using?

Well i don't own a mossberg actually. I was just saying a torque driver would be handy for someone who does so as to not strip the threads by over tightening. I'd probably start out with 5-8 inch pounds and go up from there and read where it is snug, then set them all the same.

KBCL, you'll get used to the douchbaggery of some people here soon enough.
 
How about instead of being a douche you point this noob in the direction of a nice cheap .22 with big magazines that I won't mind taking out and having my buddies abuse from time to time. That might be more constructive than a stupid remark.
 
Yea that was a doughy comment! I agree!
I just can't believe how cheap and cheesy that stock is! I've heared they actually shoot well!
How much are you guys paying for this thing?
 
I paid just over $300 and it came with 3 25 round magazines and an aftermarket foregrip. It is pretty accurate I think. Outside of pellet guns this was the first rifle I've ever shot. No scope just the iron sights it came with and without any adjustments I was getting within an inch or two of the bulls eye at 20 yards. I'd like to put a scope on it but we'll see. I'm not really interested in putting much money into it since I just got it to go pop pop pop a bunch and look cool. Basically I just wanted a glorified pellet gun.

As far as panties go, I'm not wearing any. But you can't expect to toss an insult out there and not get a reply, it is the internet and I can flame back with the best of them. ;)
 
Haha you said flame with the best of them!! :p haha
I would suggest the ruger 10/22 but there impossible to find!
