Mossberg 500a Trigger Housing

[Marcus5aurelius]

I was wondering if anyone on here has ever dissassembled and reassembled a Mossberg 500a's trigger housing and could help me out with it. I was giving it a thorough cleaning and stupidly dissassembled it, figuring it wouldn't be too hard to put back together with a exploded diagram.

When I found the manual it just says "The trigger housing is a complex assembly and must not be disassembled. Disassembly should only be performed by the factory or a qualified gunsmith." and I couldn't find a detailed diagram anywhere.

I will give it a shot myself and if I still can't figure it out I'll bring it to a gunsmith as instructed. If anyone could point me in the direction of a diagram or could give me some pointers as to how to do it, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Yea I saw that but no real closeup of the stuff I need

I have a raspy trigger in my 500AT and disassembled it hoping to make things a little smoother. I gave up and sent a bag of parts to a "smith" from the club, when I picked it up it was missing the spring that locks the action when loaded. Now it locks when ejecting a round. The spring is worth more than the gun I think, it is 30 or so y.o.

If you figure it out let me know, you can fix mine.

When I give mine another good cleaning and I get the itch to clean the trig ass. I will head your troubles, I'll just use gun scrubber instead and a dash of remoil. Good luck and may Santa's elves give you guidance.

I could probably manage if I had one side by side for comparison, could anyone take any closeups of the assembly? I know most of the parts but there's just that tiny spring that I'm not sure where it goes

This, I can do, though I'm not sure how much of the innards you can make out. If you want any extreme closeups (as long I don't have to take mine apart!), let me know what angle to try and I can give it a shot.

If New Haven is convenient, Mossberg does (or at least used to do) some walk-in service, and I bet you wouldn't be the first one to walk in with this problem...

Thanks! Let me try one more time It's mainly just the billion different springs that may or may not get bent or twisted that I'm worried about. Thanks for your help
