Problem loading Mossberg
Just pulled my 500 Moss out of the box, read the manual, tried to load it, and could only get 2 rounds into the magazine. I am using 3" shells so it should accept 4 of them into the mag + 1 chambered. Any idea why this would happen? (I know I could call the manufacturer, but this is more enjoyable and I don't have to sit on hold waiting for help.)

Check to make sure it doesn't have a plug in the magazine tube.
For hunting purposes, some states, like PA.....only allow you to have three rounds loaded (one in the chamber, two in the tube) and a one piece plug to make it impossible to load any more.
For non-hunting purposes, you can remove the plug and load as many as it will take.

Ah-ha. Sounds like that is my problem. Now I just have to figure out how to remove the plug. Thanks Steve-o.

Twist the screw that holds the front sling and shake the gun up side down, there is a wooden wowel in there may be a couple rubber gromets in there as well to hold in in, but the plug should come out with some shaking, if it goes in the hole and wont come down, push a few shells in and it will push it through.... Remember to put the dowel back in if you plan on hunting.

Re: Problem loading Mossberg
Thanks for the help guys; I was about to disassemble the entire gun trying to get that thing out. You saved me a lot of hassle. What came out was like you said, a wooden dowel and two rubber o-rings.
