How are they still in business? shotgun sales are in the shitter and even if they do sell someone a shotgun, how many shotguns do people buy in their life time?>but they sell .22sare you really going to buy a mossberg .22 over a 10/22?>the patriotare you going to buy a mossberg patriot over a ruger or savage at basically the same price point?>handgunsthey sell handguns? have you ever seen someone with a mossberg handgun?Henry's another one. Are there really that many people buying lever actions and single shot break actions? It's even worse than car companies because guns are cheaper than cars and .22s and hunting guns last basically forever
They make good, reliable stuff. For dirt cheap.Pumps are practically ban-proof.New people get into shooting hobbies all the time, but oldfags won't sell their shit.Ergo, Mossberg's stuff keeps selling.
>>64752291>shotgun sales are in the shitterDo you have any actual statistics to back this up?
>>64752378https://www.americanprogress.org/article/gun-industry-america/no American company replaced remingshit in the shotgun market because most gun sales are handguns, ARs and .22s
>>64752291I have a 500 that was my first firearm and a 590 mariner, so that's 2 for me. I haven't shot either since I got a 1301 mod2.
>>64752411I've got a 500, it was my second gun, I also got one of the initial run shockwaves
>>64752406The very same pic you posted shows that more shotguns were manufactured than pistols. Mossberg exports a fuck ton of shotguns to countries that don't allow their citizens to own rifles. Furthermore, we import very few shotguns (picrel from your same link), so if we want a shotgun, it will very likely have come from the US, Canada, Italy, or Turkey.
