New Mossberg 500 field/security combo
Just picked this baby up the other day after waiting nearly 8 MONTHS for it to stop being on backorder. And I thought 10 days was bad!!
pic 41 shows the gun in its "security" style. 18.5" barrel, pistol grip. sits like this (plus flashlight in pic 50) next to our bed with "00" buck and slugs alternating. (holds 6 shells) Pic 42 is like 41, but with the wood stock instead of the pistol grip Pic 45 is the "field" version: wood stock, 28" vented rib, ported, threaded barrel Pic 46 shows all the parts of the kit except the choke tubes. It came with 3 chokes and a wrench: improved cylinder, modified, and full. (All flush mounts) Pic 50 shows my improvised flashlight system. The clamp came with the gun, it was holding the two barrels together for shipping. Gun came as seen in pic 45 with the clamp holding the 18.5" barrel below the 28". Figured this would work for now until I can get the tactical package I want and the 24" rifled, ported barrel/scope combo ($250 total for both). Then I'll never need to buy anything for this gun again!! Price for this package was just under $375 out the door with tax and DROS included. The manufacturer number is 54169 in case anyone else wants one. I recommend it seeing as you can't get all this stuff seperate for nearly that good of price. Closest I've found is the synthetic stock version minus the pistol grip and gold trigger at Big 5 for $279 (on sale) but with the added upgrades you looking at more than $375. Taking it out to the range soon, I'll let you know how it works!! (flawless I'm sure...IT'S A MOSSBERG 500!!)

tell me about it! the deal was, i was going to buy it online and pay the transfer fees to my FFL. I told him about it and he said he'd take care of it for me no problem, but it might take a month seeing as things were getting crazy with the new administration taking office. a month, no big deal. came back 3 weeks later and found out the guy didn't order it from my site (which was now out of stock) he ordered it from his distributor who was backordered. he got an ear-full for the next few weeks, then his boss (the real FFL of the business) fired his ***. turns out i wasn't the only one he screwed. Looked around for a similar mossberg but couldn't jump on one fast enough seeing as I had to try to get all my money back from the FFL that i paid in full. 8 months later on the day that i found one in stock at big 5 and went to get my money back, the distributor called and said they were sending one. would i ever wait that long again?...hell no. will i buy more guns from this FFL...maybe, but not unless they're in stock!

neither are rifled but you can get rifled barrel/scope combos for $150. the 28" is threaded for chokes and it came with improved cylinder, modified, and full chokes (flush mounts)
too far forward? you mean for me to be able to turn it on/off quickly? i can see that, but did you have any other meaning? UPDATE: i've shot this baby a few times since the original post and it's amazing! the ported 28" is really easy to aim and keep on target for follow ups. Happy with what i had to wait for!
