I'm a Sucker for a Deal
It happened again today...
I was just going to buy a few boxes of ammunition at the gunshop today, but there was a "used" mossberg 500 18.5" that looked brand new with a tag that said $200. My inner arab jumped out and I was haggling about the price before I even knew what I was doing. So now I have a new little 12ga and my wallet is $160 lighter. Now I need to find a nice wood stock for it. And a sling. And I need to replace the 50 rounds of buckshot I put through it this afternoon. I guess shotgun fever strikes without warning and I'm lucky I only caught a mild case. If it had been severe I would have walked out of the gunshop with that extra-fancy walnut stocked Auto-5 I've had my eye on for a while... I bet this is a common affliction. Do y'all suffer from Dealus Suckeritis and shotgun fever? Anyone know where I can find a nice wood stock and a sling for a 500 at minimum cost? |

Got a nice wood set in my sock drawer.
Willing to trade for plastic if you want. I'll get a pic up asap.

You're not alone.
I just bought a 12 ga. 870 wingmaster, 28", Mod., VR. Sticker price was $239. It had some surface rust and the trigger did not spring back into position after pulling it. I pointed out the problems to the manager and offered $150. He agreed and it was $159 with tax. I couldn't resist. A little WD-40 and some scrubbing and it was good-as-new. I've already got three other 12 gauges so I needed this one like a hole in the head but I've got a soft spot for neglected Remingtons and Rugers. I posted in the revolver forum about a .357 that I'm on the fence about now.
I would've bought that mossy in a heartbeat for $200, not to mention $160.

I was just in a similar situation, mossy 500 for sale with less than 100 rounds thru it, a 24" slug barrel and a rail for a red dot, after some haggeling i walked away with it plus a new sling for $120 bucks!! trust me i think we all have this affliction.

a day late and a dollar short
You guys must be the ones kicking your heels in the parking lot when I pull up.
Or the ones who have a gun on "hold" Or better yet:"we just sold one the last one for....." I have yet to get a good deal at a shop. The only time I get a great deal is on private sales.

I got bit yesterday. A buddy of mine sold me his Benelli Nova for $250, he paid 3 something for it last year for so we could go hunting. The funny part is he carried it in woods two times and never fired it. I was going to try and talk him down a little more but he has a baby on the way which is way he is getting rid of it.

What Is this Part??? Mavric 88 Assesories
I have a Mavric 88 And Just got all the Assesories. But I was looking at this Photograph this Guy above Posted and Noticed something I like. But Im not sure what it is.. Looks like part of the Folding stock but I have the same stock and do not have this part.. So I modified the photograph and Put an arrow pointing to the plastic or rubber cover I am asking about.. If you know what it is and where I can get it.. let me know so I can get one!!!

Mossberg 835 with rifled 'slugster' barrel of 20 in. The wood and metal surfaces were a 'bubbafied' camo. I was looking for a cheap, reliable deer shotgun, $160 at Whittaker's.
BTW, after breakdown and cleaning, I used car wax on the outside of the receiver. She's not pretty, but knows how to cook!

Aloha
Setshun8 Had a good point about the 10 Rund drum.. They say its a great conversion for entry but who needs 10 rounds for one entry job. and as heavy as it makes the gun its not practicle..
I heard that you can remove the plug and the standard mossberg will hold more ammo.. Is that true? If so how many will it hold?? |

Remington Yukon sling
You could always go with the Remington Yukon rifle sling. I have yet to take it out on a trip with me, but I picked it up for a whole $6 at Wal-Mart. It says it's for rifles, but I've got mine on my Benelli with four 12 gauge shells in it.
