Here's another of the firearms that I inherited from my grandfather.
Mossberg 190, 16 gauge Bolt action Shotgun
Now the bad news.
It's got a rusted mag. Not a huge deal, but what's the best way to take care of this?
The safety is non-functional. When the safety is on, you can pull the trigger and watch the safety lever move. Is this likely somethign I can fix myself or does it require a gunsmith?
Also, it has the mount, but no choke.
So I'm trying to figure out what to do with this one. In great condition it's only a $150 gun, and I can't see investing much $ in having the safety repaired just to end up with a $100 gun. I've already got 12 gauge Auto and pump, and I don't hunt, so what to use it for?
The only plus side is that my stepdad says he has a whole bunch of ammo for the gun (he doesn't have any 16's) that I can have. So I could keep it for the someday that I get far enough out of the city to just take a day and shoot a whole messload of shot shells.
Advice appreciated. Sell, or have fixed, or fix myself, or trade, or sell with ammo?
