Mine is neither rare nor unusual. It's a 870 supermag(dat 3.5" chamber) I won at a raffle. But I recently decided to paint it to duck hunt with and I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out(first time painting a gun) so, Fuck it, I'm posting it

Yeah, you really have to be a masochist to shoot them, but some people swear by that extra 1/2". Personally, I couldn't afford to feed it, so I got out of my 835 for about $50 more than I put into it.

Your paint job came out really nice. I'm actually thinking about getting into cerakoting myself, I have a Stevens 5100 that needs a new lease on life.

>>28534445
Thanks. How different is the process for cerakote? Is it pricey? Being somewhat cheap, I just went for 4 cans of rustoleum from Walmart for $3.79 apiece..

>>28534479
Cerakote is pricey and apparently much more involved a process. My lgs owner was talking about how he cerakoted a few things in his home oven, and how he had to go get a spray gun from Harbor Freight to apply it. At $60 a pint, you'll probably be doing a lot of prep work to make sure it comes out alright, because last I checked there's no way to un-cerakote a gun.

That being said, this: http://www.cerakoteguncoatings.com/finishes/H-245Q/socom-blue/
Is supposed to replicate a blued finish very well. For the money, it's not that bad if you, say, have a few old guns you just want to get more use out of.

Just realized today that I've had about 7 mossbergs over the years. For some reason I seemto keep finding cheap 500s and keep selling them at a profit.

I've had 7 over the years. They weren't bad or anything; I kept finding really good deals* on them and passing them along. Best score was when I got two canabalized guns and fixed both of them up, then sold one of them at a profit. Essentially, I made $35 and got a free slug gun.

My 835 was right at $200 with a Bushnell scope mounted (probably not a very expensive one for that price). It was rusty and dirty but I managed to get most of that off with a wad of 0000, then after spending waaay too much money in giganto slugs for range giggles I sold it. My 500 Persuader came to me for, again, $200 because the last guy read a shit review online... after putting a Hogue overmold stock on it. I'm trying to convince a welder friend of mine to help me make a 590 style bayonet mount because I can't find a decent deal on the real thing.

>>28536129
Is that some early Mossberg camo job I see there? Here, have mine.

>>28536082
Stevens/Savage/Springfield 311's are a gread double for the money, and they're no slouches when it comes to reliability. I have a 311-style that I swear had to have come out of a barn, and it runs just great under all the rust. Some things to consider:
-a large number of them were sold at hardware stores, and were finished accordingly
-greenish tinted stocks = less desireable, so don't shell out too much money for one
-cut barrels also bring down value
-longer the barrel, the tighter the chokes. Read up on whatever you got (manufacturer + model + date as close as you can get) to figure out what the chokes are
-A lot of these were made without serial numbers, meaning that you'll have to go by the stamps on the barrels, stock, and reciever
-Finally: Unless you absolutely have to, do NOT disassemble. They're a bitch to pull apart and more than a few /k/ommandos have had these things sitting on their workbench because they couldn't put them back together.

Are you right or left handed?

Do you plan on dicking with aftermarket for it?

Is it a tacticool/HD use or wingshooting use?

Does your country have any gauge/capacity restrictions?

>>28536357
The Mossberg 500 family is a pretty robust and simple group of guns. Having owned a few I have a soft spot for them. The 590 is a little extra for not really that much more utility--assuming you're getting one without the bayonet lug, it's not that much better than a 500 other than the all-metal fire group and the heavier barrel. If you don't have any stupid restrictions, a 590a1 is kind of cool.

Or, better yet, smash a shitload of oyster crackers and stir them into the congealed (canned) clam chowder. Then pack in 20ga fired hulls and either bake at like 200*F in the oven or just sit outside all day during the summer, make chowder cement.

Load that like a giant minie ball.

Only if your FFL is particularly retarded.

Nearly a quarter of all firearms manufactured in the US were manufactured without a serial number. There's shit in place to deal with those.

>>28536639
Seeing as they were made before serial numbering was mandatory, I don't see it being too big a deal. Double check with whoever you're buying through.

Also, out of curiosity, I've never seen a vent-rib barrel that short before. Fixed cylinder bore, or screw-in chokes?

If screw-in chokes, I think I just found myself a new grouse gun. Fuck carrying a 26" barrel though super thick pine woods.

If I were to buy a shotgun in Commiefornia, would anything come in the mail during the registration process/background check? I'm going to be living there with a family member soon for a few years, and I don't want them knowing I have one since I don't know their stance on firearms. Just need one for home defense.

My very rare 1909 Sjögren semi-automatic shotgun.

Inertia recoil operated, and slightly terrifying to shoot due to that 1 1/2 pound slide recoiling right in front of your face.

>>28537837
"For the money" is a subjective thing, but they're great shotguns if you can stomach the price. IIRC Hatsan (a Turkish company) makes a much more inexpensive clone/knockoff that's apparently decent, but it also lacks aftermarket accessories and chokes.

It actually moves pretty slowly, which kind of makes it a bit scarier. It's slow enough you can see it moving back and forth clearly.

Robust? Hell yeah. This thing is solidly built, and finely made. I don't really understand how they figured this thing would be profitable, the amount of machining is crazy.

The slide is retained a lot more securely than it appears. It's got a spring loaded buffer at the end of the travel, and rides on two side rails. It's also attached to receiver in such a way that about 10 parts would need to break in a specific order for it fly off, and a parts breakage is more likely to lock it TO the receiver.

The mechanism is hard to understand, even with it disassembled. It's recoil operated, with a tilting locking block and spring loaded breech block. It's basically unlocked by the inertia of the gun recoiling against you; the insides of the bolt remain stationary for a period and the whole thing recoils around them.
