Messed up disassembling shotgun.

[Bansh88]

Shotguns suck to pull apart. Pulled my Mossberg 500 apart a few times for paint and thinking it needed full cleaning (which it never has) and it's always a b!tch to put it back together.

Looks like an 870. Strips down the same way. Except for the magazine tube.

Let us know how it turns out! At least now you can give it a good clean and lube with the trigger group and bolt out.

So far everything working Good! Cycling even better now that all the gunk has been removed.

Good for you!

Congratulations OP!

I had faith that you could do it all along.


But my faith also includes a long string that you should tie on to your trigger while you first shoot a few rounds through your new reassembled and cleaned shotgun from a distance.

And it's a very long string.

You're making me doubt myself here. Granted it was that self that got into this situation.... I think we'll go with the string

As an alternative you could carefully cut of the very end of a plastic shotgun shell.
Then with care empty out the bbs, the wad / wadding and hopefully most of the powder.

Then you have an empty shell but with a live primer.
That will enable you to test the shot gun in a safe location, pointed in a safe direction, with eye and ear protection on...etc. and all other precautions that you can think of.

That would tell you whether the firing pin is striking the cartridge and it will also let you know that your shot gun can eject a spent casing.

Now that I think about it,
cutting open shotgun shells is something some people would do without a problem and others might be better off not doing it.


kind of like disassembly of a shotgun

(but it's live ammunition.)

Yeah, you better not go that route.

I'd done stupider things. How bad can it be

Did I just hear a shotgun shell go off ?


Probably, just my imagination.



I hope.

Pardners are built solid. Gonna take more than a trigger pull disassembled to damage something.
