Review
I was had issues with my Mossberg 500. Trigger pull was as hard as wood pecker lips. The gun shot fine, but the trigger just wasn't there. The folks at Buck and Slug had used this kit, so I gave it a try. Well, I like it. Made a world of difference. Initial pull was 7.5 lbs. After the installation of the springs, 5.5 lbs. And this is with the gun not being locked down. So most likely the numbers could change. Because she feels more like a 3.5-4 lb trigger. And it's easy to install, piece of cake.
Great service and response! Lightning shipping! Will be back to this store for more cool stuff.
Just installed the Mossberg 500 trigger spring kit on my Maverick 88 20 gauge. I had a little more difficulty than on the video, but got it done. Trigger pull reduced dramatically. What a difference. Thanks MCarbo for another quality product
This trigger kit is by far the best performance increase you can get for your shotgun. Installation was quick and easy with help of the video. There is a huge difference and I highly recommend it especially on a slug gun.
Very good product, easy to install, just watch installation video.
I use my shotgun for target shooting. The original trigger set up made shotgun difficult to make consecutive shots without jerking the trigger. My Maverick now feels more like a target rifle than a hunting type of trigger setup. Acquire target and shoot ! Slugs now stay on target much better.
I'm glad I found the brotherhood for well priced, American made, and quality parts for my guns. I'll for sure be a repeat customer and can't recommend them enough. If you're ever on the fence, just know they have a lifetime warranty and are veteran owned; go ahead and pull the trigger on your next purchase.
I purchased two triggers spring packs for two Mossberg shotguns. One is a model 500, the other is a 20 gauge shockwave. The 500 had a reduced trigger pull from 7 lbs to 4.75 lbs (5 stars). The shockwave only went from 6 lbs to 5 lbs (4 stars). They are both brand new guns (fewer than 100 rounds through them). Hopefully the shockwave will lighten up after some breakin.
My previous review (see below) related a less than expected improvement in reduced trigger pull on my Mossberg 590A1. A bit more finagling has netted the following observation and performance improvement. Unlike the 500/590, the 590A1 has TWO hammer springs; the normal spring as found on most 500-series gun, and another, smaller diameter spring nested inside the normal spring. This is apparently included on 590A1's to assure fire/function even with hard primers (apparently a military requirement). Removing the smaller diameter inner spring renders the hammer spring essentially the same as the other 500-series shotguns. Upon removal of said smaller spring there was a substantially better trigger performance, with pulls between 4.25lb-4.5lb. My previous review indicated a post-installation trigger pull of 5.8lb-6.2lb. This substantially improved performance causes me to increase my rating to 4 stars and to state that I WOULD buy this upgrade again. NOTES TO M*Carbo: 1) You fail to mention the inclusion of this factory 2nd spring in either your installation video or the PDF installation instructions, nor do you address whether to leave it or remove it. Leaving the smaller, nested spring in place will result in the trigger pull improvement being negligible. IF you remove it, then the performance improvement is significant. Inasmuch as removing the smaller spring renders the 590A1 trigger to be essentially the same pull as the 500-series, I have no concerns about functional reliability, but each individual needs to make their own choice. (I don't intend to be dragging this gun through the sea, landing on beaches, or clearing enemy trenches and am therefore not particularly concerned about meeting the more rigorous Marine/NAVY test criteria which necessitated the additional spring and subsequent higher trigger pull.) BTW - It is noteworthy that I've yet to find any assembly artwork which shows two springs in this trigger assembly, even from Mossberg themselves. 2) I cannot find any facility for editing one's review once it's posted. Had there been one I would have changed the rating on my original post. Instead, I had to write this supplemental review, which is a less-than-desirable method. You might consider adding such a facility.
Excellent trigger spring kit. Big improvement after installing these kits in two slug guns. Both gun owners called me back praising me for the trigger Job stating they are shooting more accurately now. Mcarbo knocked it out of the park with this trigger upgrade kit. THANKS MCARBO !!!!!
Looking for smoother trigger on the Mossberg shotguns- I have a 20 gauge 500, 12 gauge 835 ulti-mag. This is the place to get your springs, A great video on how to install.
I bought this for my maverick 88 and it works just like they said and the little tool that they also have does make things easier. Thanks guys.
I found replacement parts very easy to install . I have not shot the gun yet ,but did notice the decrease in trigger pull.
Instlled the trigger kit with the help of the video's. Video was very good. Instructions straigt forward. Very helpful for me as I am not that handy. Took me 40 minutes to install, using the video as a reference. Shipping time to Ontario Canada was very good. Big imoprovement on the trigger pull. Very happy with the purchase.
made trigger pull much easier with less flinching
Along with the spring kit, I purchased the spring compression tool. You could make your own from a piece of 5/16" dowel rod, but it's not worth the effort for $1.95. The tool makes spring compression a breeze. Installation of the kit took about 20 minutes start to finish, and reduced trigger pull form 7 lbs-12 ozs to 5 lbs-3 ozs (about 33%). Before installation of the spring set, I also worked all the stamped surfaces of the safety and used a Youtube video as a guide to take most of the latency from the trigger pull. I'm very satisfied with the kit and expect this will smooth out my trap shooting quite a bit,
