Wow... Now I realize that it's 2012 and we're actually in a different century. The future is here now. Thanks for posting.

TDodge7 · January 17, 2012, 01:55 PM

And here I thought the Stoeger double defense was the height of tacticool uselessness

....who is this 30-30 for? Ranch Ninjas?

WAYNE109 · January 17, 2012, 02:06 PM

that mossberg looks

really crappy.............

They won't sell many, it will get discontinued quickly & In 20 years it will be a rare, collectible oddity.

bedbugbilly · January 17, 2012, 04:12 PM

Boy . . . these will set the gun world topsy turvy.

Just another piece of junk that will appeal to the younger set who fantasize about playing Rambo . . . .

I agree . . . they won't sell many . . . .

jh9x18ky · January 17, 2012, 05:36 PM

To me, all these Tacticool guns and a lot of new vechicles look like they are made using Duplo blocks. If you like em, thats fine, but I will stick with my Old Mod 94 and my 336.

NoSecondBest · January 17, 2012, 05:57 PM

I always wondered what happened to the engineer who developed the Aztek for general motors. Now I know.

chasep255 · January 17, 2012, 06:13 PM

Thats one of the more pointless items I've seen.

DrLaw · January 17, 2012, 06:19 PM

Ugly.

The Doc is depressed by the waste now.

(and oh yeah, out now, too)

SurplusShooter · January 17, 2012, 06:24 PM

I can understand a synthetic stock if you don't want to scratch it or have water damage to your stock or just plain old saving weight. But his has gone to far and looks ridiculous. The lever gun is a symbol of america and our heritage this is disappointing things i have seen mossberg make by far.

Hardcase · January 17, 2012, 06:27 PM

I thought it was a joke when I first saw it. Now I'm thinking that it's a practical joke.

surveyor · January 17, 2012, 06:51 PM

but the mvp looks interesting...

CWKahrFan · January 17, 2012, 07:24 PM

Yo guys... IT'S JUST AN ALTERNATIVE!... We can still buy the traditional woodstock ones... Jeesh... What, are we supposed to be buying and driving Model A's or Model T's too because they're a symbol of America and our heritage?

Hello-o-ow... Sometimes things change...

You have got to be $#!{{ing me

Please tell me this was a photoshop prank, please !!!!!!

Doesn't look photoshopped...

There appears to already be a term for this sort of thing: "Brooklyn Assault Rifle".

shootniron · January 17, 2012, 11:26 PM

^^^ Does that guy work for Mossberg?

mrgoodwrench76 · January 17, 2012, 11:41 PM

If it comes in wood without the flash supressor, Id buy one. The Marlin gets lonely

jimbob86 · January 17, 2012, 11:43 PM

That thing has a rail ever-where but where it needs one!

arcticap · January 17, 2012, 11:45 PM

Maybe there's folks in Africa or South America who might like it.
Hopefully Mossberg will sell some of them worldwide.
Mossberg also sells a tactical over/under that looks similar to the Stoeger.
It's a very solid shotgun that's made in Turkey by Kahn whereas the Stoeger is Brazilian.

SHNOMIDO · January 17, 2012, 11:47 PM

i have to second, third, or fourth, whatever were up to-

No rail on top?

I guess you could use three lasers. thats kind of the same as an optic.

dalegribble · January 17, 2012, 11:49 PM

wow.......thats making a sows ear out of a silk purse!

Here's the Maverick HS-12 and it's built like a tank.

The top sight rail is grooved which allows for aiming.
