[QUOTE="Allen, post: 338543, member: 389"] I bought a Mossberg around 10-11 years ago for my kids to use in 20 gauge. Kicks like a mule. They are very hard to pump for a young kid. Jams every now and then, parts of the bolt and slide are SHARP as hell, I cut myself a few times disassembling it to clean it. These are all things I KNEW about Mossbergs from my own experience of owning one 40+ years ago, and yet it was the only true kid shotgun Scheels sold when I needed one for the kids. Probably the only redeeming quality of a Mossberg is that I've always been a fan of the thumb safety, it's right in your face when you are learning how to use the gun, other than that it's safe to say that my favorite Mossbergs all reside in someone else's gun safe. [COLOR=silver][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] I would find out wherever TFX got that youth Winchester Model 1300 and/or try really hard to locate one on the interweb. It's a great gun and that assisted pump feature on the 1300 takes away some of the recoil while also making it very easy to operate. I finally had to replace the extractors on mine after 20 years.
