I recently bought a 1973 - 12GA Pedersen Custom Guns Model 1000 Grade I Field Gun. The gun has 28" barrels choked MOD / FULL.
From 1973 to 1975, O.F. Mossberg & Sons imported a barrel and receiver from Beretta (BL-4) "in the white" and then added their own engraving and wood. These were supposed to be "custom guns at afforable prices", after two years, the prices were up near what the "high end" guns of the day were selling for and they couldn't compete....
I bought this one on-line from England and had it imported back here to the states, since I've had it back, I've found out that this gun was engraved by the master gun engraver, Angelo Bee.
......See not all "Mossbergs" have to be ugly......
