Mossberg 590a1 help

[BigYellowApe]

I just got a 590a1 and the action is kind of rough anyone ever polish parts of the action of a shotgun to make it smoother? Ive owned a number of pumps including mosberg 500s and 835s and none have been as rough. it works everytime ut the effort is significantly more then im used to

I just picked my 500 up today and thought the same thing. Have you disassembled, cleaned and lubed lightly with rem oil? I just finished and it's much smoother. Try this before anything else...

[jmf_tracy]

clean and lube it then work the action a bunch of times. if that don't help then i would call mossberg and talk to them. send it in and let them take a look at it. i have 3 mossbergs and have found the customer service to be good.

Clean it. Lube it. Shoot it.
Repeat.

it's a TOOL, not a friggin' swiss watch.

meh.

the 590a1 is the .mil model and has parkerized parts.

The parkerized surfaces cause the action to feel rougher untill it is worn off.

Grease/oil it up and put some rounds through it to break it in. It should get smoother.

Clean it. Lube it. Shoot it.
Repeat.

lather, rinse, repeat

lube it, shoot it, repeat

When I got mine, it was very dirty. Like others have said; wash, lube, shoot, repeat as needed.
