I have a Mossberg 500 that just sits here loaded and doesn't get used. The old magazine spring was very weak so I ordered an extra power one from Wolfe. Evidently, the factory used loctite on the magazine tube, I had to use heat to unscrew it.
As long as I was that far into it, I stripped it and gave it a thorough cleaning followed by oil and 0 weight grease in the appropriate places, much smoother now. All went well until putting the mag tube back in. I must've fiddled with that for fifteen minutes, the spring kept trying to escape. I finally got it back together so all is good. Hopefully those 3" #4 buckshot loads die of old age.

[FPC News] FPC Moves to Include NRA in Fight Against New Jersey Gun Purchase Ban

<p><strong>TRENTON, N.J. </strong><span style="font-weight: 400;">(November 13, 2025) – Today, Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) announced that its legal team has </span><a href="https://assets.nationbuilder.com/firearmspolicycoalition/pages/8901/attachments/original/1763070971/2025.11.13_068_Motion_to_Amend_Complaint.pdf?1763070971"><span style="font-weight: 400;">filed</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> a motion to add the National Rifle Association (NRA) into the FPC Law case </span><strong><a href="http://firearmspolicy.org/struck"><em>Struck v.

NIB: Original Pre-Ban Beta CMAG 100rd Drum  Magazine

I bought this in early 1994 directly from the company. I never loaded  or shot it. I only removed it from the pouch twice; when I got it and to take these pictures. It’s been in my gun safe for the last 31 years.
The only reason I bought it was because the government didn't want me to have it.

I believe I paid $300.00 and the going price on auction seems to average $500.00+. I’ve included screen shots of some online auction results.

I’m asking $250.00 plus shipping. If interested PM me for shipping quote.

Evidently I'm not up on politics like I used to be, this is the first time I heard that term and had to look it up. Groypers are adherents to the extreme right and see fascism as an acceptable counter to the far left. I've always maintained that the pendulum swings back proportionally and given how far left it's swung I guess this shouldn't surprise me, but it does. 
In this article the author delves into the factors propelling this swing, mainly loss of faith in our institutions and hopelessness. https://roddreher.substack.com/p/what-i-...washington
I've been called a right-winger but I've always been more of a conservative libertarian. This stuff scares me as much as communism does.
Wandering off into end-times prophecy, I've long maintained that the USA couldn't exist as it does today for the battle of armegeddon to take place with all the armys of the world against Israel. Maybe that time is closer than I thought.
