Who will confess to owning a bolt shotgun?

I dont have one but i would like to have one just to show the stuck up people at the skeet field that you dont need some fancy pump gun or :eek: a o/u or god forbid a semi-auto. I also plan to take my old sbs for some fun :rolleyes:
 
My dad had the Mossberg in .410. It disappeared from my mom's house after he passed away though. I found it at my grandmothers a couple of years ago in some of my uncle's stuff. Asked if I could have it. Was told by him it was not the same gun. That my dad's gun was all beat up and was "lost" during a coon hunt.

I pretty much called him a liar and told him I wanted it back. Short of me stealing it I don't think I will get it back.

I wish I could get that gun back.
 
After WW2 Australia was flooded with Lee Enfield rifles and sporting shotguns were comparatively expensive.

A lot of farmers acquired Enfield .410 shotguns as a snake or similar gun to hang on hooks over the back door.

Many of these would still be operational.
 
Bolt action shotguns

I've never owned one, but back in the pre-68 days of my youth, I spent many an hour drooling over them in the Sears-Roebuck catalog. They were cheap. I didn't have a chance of ever owning one of those fancy "Ted Williams" automatic's or even a pump, but a kid picking tomatoes for $5.00 a day could dream about a bolt action 12 ga with a C-lect choke.

Never did get one. Ended up with a Sears double, 12 ga., 2 3/4" chamber, 30" barrels, mod/full, with a "hardwood stock". Man! I was in high cotton.
:D
 
I own one.

Mossberg and sons 20 ga. with an external choke. Nice gun been in the family for years. However it wasn't until a trip to a gun-parts auction that i was able to get two full sets of choke tubes for it. And for only $16.75 Man I love gun auctions. :)
 
My dad had a mossberg 12ga. that had a box mag and was smoothbore with no vent rib. Does anyone know what model that one was?
 
Mossberg made these 12 guages:
Model 395K - 1963 to 83 with 28" bbl. w/C-Lect-Choke.
Model 395S -(Slugster) 1968 - 81 with 24" Cylinder bore bbl. w/rifle sights.
Model 595 - 1985 - 86 with 18.5" bbl. & 4 shot magazine.

The first two had 2 shot magazines.
 
My Mossberg is a 195K-A purchased 40 years ago in 1965 from Sears and Roebuck. Two round removable magazine and C-Lect choke. Used mainly for target practice with slugs and practice in cleaning lead out of barrels.
 
Higgins Shotgun

I inherited a JC Higgings when my wifes uncle died. Mine happens to be in the recall group.

Search on J C Higgins recall
The shotguns were sold in Sears stores and through its catalog as the

Yours being a 583.11 sounds like it is probably okay.
