I guess I've just haven't had the opportunity to handle a better maintained gun.
thats amazing...haha ive heard the M590A1's have a heavy trigger pull and rough action in the pump the first few hundred rounds, but what can you expect from such a weapon. i want it combat tested and proven for partol and if i have to spend a few hundred rounds to get it in a groove so be it.
