I have a New Haven 600 AT, basically it was a Mossberg 500 that Mossberg made for department stores back in the day.

 

Now it's my first shotgun, so maybe pump actions are all like this, but the foregrip slide "wiggles" from side to side, it's not a major deal, but I'd prefer a "tight" feeling on it. I'm not sure how one fixes this though.

Same problem here with my Mossy 500. But it does go BANG when required.

Doing more research, it appears that it's common among all mossberg shotguns.

 

 

Haha, I'd love to trade it for an 870. I really want the Remington simply because the GSG-9 uses them.

It's normal for there to be some movement on the slide/forend. I've felt them more on Mossbergs than the Remington pumps, but they all still wobble a bit. Some after market slides that feel tighter are available but then you'll probably end up scraping the finish off the mag tube.

One very scientific process to determine if the "jiggle" affects performance is to shoot it a bunch!

Not whilst imbibing though, you newly minted 21 year old..

Congrats!

Thanks! Haha, haven't gone to a bar yet though.

 

And yeah its more an issue where i know it's fine, but it doesn't feel "secure" worried it'll snap off even though it's unlikely.
