Mossberg Disassembly Question

[stevelyn]

A friend has a Mossy 500E that he wants to take the mag plug out of. How does one go about removing the magazine tube from the Mossy 500 series?

Thanks Dan! Just wanted to make sure the tube screwed in before I started reefin' on it. Already put the WD-40 to it and going to heat the receiver with a blow dryer.

Stevelyn:

The Gun Digest Book of Firearms Assembly/Disassembly - Part V: Shotguns by J.B. Wood includes a chapter on the Mossberg Model 500. The ISBN number for this book is 0-910676-11-9, and your local bookstore should be able to order a copy for you. It is an excellent reference for any gun library and features, "Complete takedown instructions for 26 of the most popular shotguns. Highly detailed how-to-do-it photos take you step-by-step through total takedown and reassembly."

Hope this helps.
