I remember when a few years ago, the Mossberg 12ga pumpgun was the only shotgun that met the requirements of the Army or Marines!!! At least a 1/3 of all duck hunters in Arkansas and Kansas use a Mossberg pump shotgun.....FACT.
Any other hallucinations you care to share?
The 870 was the first military shotgun among current models and has continued as the primary shotgun for the duration. The Mossbergs were added to save some money on military contracts.
Talk to the armorers servicing both and they will all tell you the Mossberg falls well short of the 870 in reliability.
Those are some of the facts.
As to Arkansas and Kansas duck hunters... Thinking 1/3 is a very unlikely number...
