Something you dont see much of any more, Mossberg 'jungle gun' LE marked with the mossberg stamped folder. Traded into it recently and probably gave it too much value but I like oddball guns from the 80s-90s.

Got an 590 Retro. I prefer the 870, but haven't found a good deal on an 870P, so I went ahead and got the Mossberg.
Took the heat shield off as I'm not a fan of the look.

Finally found a vintage magazine extension for my 1965 M1200. Apparently the threaded portion of the mag tube was shorter on the first couple of years production of 1200's, which I found out when I ordered a new Choate extension. The shorter threads cause a gap at the tube/extension junction, causing the follower/spring to catch and not feed. I placed "WTB" for an older Winchester extension on several forums and finally got a bite. Polished blue and just the right amount of patina to match the gun.

I've got a 1200 I want to SBS. Learned on a winchester 12ga and shot it and hunted with it for a long time. I'm sure it's because of that that I love the controls locations on winchesters. |

The rail is so close that M-Lok accessories will not install here, as they hit the piston, and there isn't enough room even if the screws are cut down. |

One of these days I'll send one of my 870 barrels off to be chopped to 21" and threaded for chokes to use as a quail gun.
With modern wads and loads long barrels are less useful for close wing-shooting. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Bigger_Hammer: @mcculver5 Or just get a Remington Turkey barrel - comes 21" vent rib with factory Rem Choke threads ... Ready to drop in & HUNT!! BIGGER_HAMMER Ok. I thought about that but I have some concerns. 1. My 20 gage 870 is an old large frame so new production LW barrels will not fit. 2. I have only seen the turkey barrels with the bullshit express finish and all my 870s have a blued finish, as is proper and correct. I cannot abide that crinkly, rusting, ugly finish. Finally, the crinkle-rust finish wouldn't match the rest of the gun. I keep hoping that I'll find an old special field on the cheap at a gunshow or small shop. Even better would be an 1100 or 11-87 special field. All that said, my father has one of those turkey guns circa 1989ish and it's a good gun. Finally, I think even if I found a blued 21" barrel with Rem Choke it would cost more than the gun itself. So, I'll probably send out a couple spare barrels one of these days. That's a lot of words to say Mcculver5 is a cheap, opinionated jerk.

My 2003 870 Express doesn't get enough love, but I'd like to change that. As it currently sits: Speedfeed (non speed-feeding) youth/short stock & forearm, Mesa Tactical 4-rd side saddle, SGT/Wilson big safety (just changed over from a Vang), Volquartzen extractor, Gear Sector sling... and that's about it. I may have changed out the mag spring a few years back, but I can't remember.
 Old 500 I've had since I was a teenager (it was one of the combos with the 18" & 28" barrels). It's got some wood I picked up somewhere along the way, and when I was young and dumb(er), I stripped the blue and "finished" in Brownell's dark gray parkerize Alumahyde.  |
