I was all set to conduct a field test and review of this Mossberg shotgun when I did something that I have never done unintentionally: I dropped the gun. I was lifting it to shoulder height to fire when it slipped from my grasp. The gun fell from a height of about 3.5 feet at an angle, impacting butt first, which resulted in the entire stock snapping off like a dry twig. Considering the amount of impact, against packed dirt, I would suspect that I could prop the gun on my knee and snap the stock off with a decent amount of pressure from my hand; something that doesn't comfort me much about this gun.
Mossberg reportedly has an excellent customer service program, although I have never had cause to use it in the past. I have shipped the gun back to them and I will report further, once I hear from them.
