rop testing of both the Mossberg M500/M590 and Remington M870 shotguns has
shown that they can Fre if dropped muzzle Frst
even with the safety set.
That could cause a fatal accident.
As a result, the following warning is being added to TM 9-1005-338-13&P:
“Operators should not chamber a round into the shotgun until they are ready to
Fre. Accidental discharge and injury could occur from dropping the shotgun in the
muzzle down position.”
Armorers, make sure everyone in your unit who uses a shotgun is aware of
the warning.
