I got this Western Auto branded Mossberg about a year ago with plans to fix it up. I am finally putting the plan into motion. The first order of business was to replace the shell interupter, which I did shortly after I got it. Next I stained the stock matte black to match the synthetic forend. Last week I ordered some Aluma Hyde II from Brownell's and this weekend I plan to refinish the entire gun. I have taken a couple of photo's and will try to take some more of the process. Finally after the finish has cured I will re-assemble the gun and take pictures of the final result. So far the cost of this project is about $170.

WELL used M500- $125 otd
Shell interupter- $15
Minwax stain- $5
Aluma Hyde II- $25

I know I could have bought a new one but that would take all the fun out of it! LoL

The rust is pretty much everywhere but it's only surface rust.
