A: Hi dan and welcome. Yes but, Not directly. It must be transferred to you through a local FFL Dealer. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Hi Dan, this can be shipped to Illinois, pump action shotguns do not have the same restrictions as semi auto's do. It must ship to a FFL of your choice, it will not ship directly to you. FFL locator here budsgunshop.com/ffl.php , Stay safe & have a great day!

A: All firearms shipped from Bud's must go through an FFL for you to complete the transfer and take ownership.

A: Hi Sergio and welcome. No Sir. This shotgun uses the tube magazine only. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Hi Sergio, this does not take box style magazines, you are limited to the 7 round capacity of trhr tubular magazine. Stay safe & have a great day!

A: No, you would not be able to use a box magazine for this model. Tube magazine loading only.

A: Yes, and with sabots or rifled slugs, the more "open" the choke tube, the better the accuracy ("Improved Cylinder" recommended.) The "full" or "modified" choke tubes are preferred for buckshot loads. Slugs, buckshot and steel shot loads are not recommended for use with an extra full "turkey tube" installed, due to the tube's tight constriction. Do not fire any load without a choke tube installed, doing so will damage the internal choke tube threads. https://www.mossberg.com/support/faqs#:~:text=Can%20I%20shoot%20slugs%20or,%22Improved%20Cylinder%22%20recommended.)

A: Hi Daniel and welcome. With proper maintenance, this shotgun will last several years with firing either buckshot or slugs. I have this and several other Mossberg shotguns and most have been owned for decades with a few thousands of rounds with no issues. Cheers, stay safe and enjoy!

A: Hold up, I think Ric F. Has the answer, or 6 😆 I own a Maverick and it eats everything I load in!! Bird, Buck, Slugs (Rifled Foster Type) with no issues!! Maybe your friend just wasn't properly Maintaining his Maverick??

A: Hi Daniel, Slugs and buckshot will be no issue. This gun has a fixed cylinder choke that is optimized for slugs/buckshot. If your friends gun failed over time, I highly doubt it was because of slugs/buckshot. Stay safe & have a great day!
