[QUOTE="Grindstone, post: 2580050, member: 8640"] I did a bit of research on the differences between the 870 and the 500. For the most part, they seem to be basically identical in every way but for the ejector. Mossberg's ejector is held in by a screw and Remington's by a rivet. Should that rivet or the ejector break, you'd have to send it back to get fixed. On the Mossberg, you could just do it yourself in minutes. That may seem like a minor point, but for me, I like reliability [B]and [/B]ease of maintenance for when things do break. There might be other differences out there I missed, but that stood out for me. [/QUOTE]
