Bought another Mossberg

ArkansasHunter · 11-08-2007, 11:55 AM

Tuesday while I was here at Gun and Game my son dropped in and began asking me about Remington and Mossberg Police/Military shotguns and all I could do was have him sit down with me and look at Remington and Mossberg models.
While we were looking he commented that the Police dept, he works at were haveing a rust problem with there 870's and the Cheif and Remington were going back and worth about a resolve to the rustting problem.
So he couldn't check out one to carry in his unit.
After a little while he said Dad pick me out a good one, I trust you, order it and I'll pay you back for it.
LOL...He did say he didn't want Ghost rings on it.
Well I picked the one I have pictured here, then called around town and out of town and got the same story...There SOLD OUT it must be the war !
I spent a whole day on the Internet looking and calling. I even called Mossberg and they were out.
Well I stumbled on to a site named .......
The Gun Source and they had a couple so I bought one and then had a friend fax his ffl to them to get it comeing.
So what do yall think. Mossbergs list price is $ 482.00 and I got it for $ 344.00 no tax but there is shipping and $10.00 for my friend with the ffl.
Do you think I picked out a good one ? He doesn't know yet...A.H

samuel · 11-08-2007, 12:07 PM

Looks great.At the price of ammo will he have money enough to fill the mag? sam.

ArkansasHunter · 11-08-2007, 12:21 PM

LOL Who do you think is going to end up paying for it LMAO...Maybe he will and that boy has the first dollar he first earned.
My son taught school for 4 years and on the week ends he was a ParaMedic he made $ 750.OO for 2 days work as a ParaMedic, but when you figure thats a 24 hour shift it's not a lot of money, but he saved every penny of it along with his teacher pay.
His Mother and I begged him to live at home where he could save all his money and he has.
He wants to move out now but we keep talking him out of it. I guess it's safe to say that he's not going to stay a Police officer much longer because he wants to go to work for the park service and with his degrees and science and ParaMedic skills he should be able to...Thats his goal is to be a Park Ranger and then a Park Superintendant and retire from that position.
And I was kidding he'll pay me back for the gun but if he don't thats fine...A.H

Cornbread · 11-09-2007, 08:16 AM

I got some shells I'll send him if he runs out- seems I don't shoot many 00 buck at anything. Maybe I sleep on my deer stand too much.

Have a good one!

samuel · 11-09-2007, 08:26 AM

I knew a man that was a park ranger when I worked in Ark..As I understand it they have an extensive schooling.About 2yrs He said.Maybe that was someone that didnt have any training at all. sam.

ArkansasHunter · 11-09-2007, 08:47 AM

Samuel you and others may find this interesting, here in Arkansas a Park Ranger is sent to our state Police Acadamy and are trained elbow to elbow with all other branches of law enforcement in Arkansas. Excludeing State Troppers they have there own Acadamy
A Park Ranger in Ark. is no longer limited to enforceing laws in there park he's stationed at, meaning now they can enforce all Ark. state laws anywhere within the states borders. City or County.
Of course I wouldn't think if a Park Ranger saw you run a stop sign over in the next town he would stop you and give you a ticket, but he can now if he wants to.
It didn't use to be this way, our Ark. Legistrators passed a law some time ago to make our Park Rangers able to do this.
And It's a good idea because Crime is at an all time high and drugs are everywhere.
Also the Superintendents of each park also have the same authority now, and are sent to the Police acadamy as well.
Matter of fact my son made friends with the Parks People in order to help him get hired and lucky for him there all pulling for him.
I think there were 2 Superintendents and 4 Rangers in his class at the Police Acadamy and my son and all them stay in touch by e-mail and telephone.
A.H

EDIT : That Mossberg will probably weigh a ton with 9 rounds of buck shot in it. LOL

Being the 590 series It's the Military grade model. And too were hopeing that picture I posted has a typo because it's suppose to be Parkerized finish.

samuel · 11-09-2007, 05:51 PM

The ranger I met said it was extensive.That sounds good to me.Best of luck to your son. sam.

That looks almost Identical to the one I just built...

Thanks Sam !
Moose Looks Good !!! Is that a 21'' barrel ? I offered him my 870 Express and told him all the other stuff to change it to what he wanted would be cheaper than buying a new one....
He wants his own gun...A.H

Mooseman684 · 11-09-2007, 08:49 PM

19 1/2 " Barrel open bore for slugs and Buckshot !

Pretty nice site A.H. cheap prices as well. May be my new shopping place.

knightRider · 11-11-2007, 09:23 AM

good deal AH fancy

ArkansasHunter · 11-11-2007, 09:35 AM

To be honest I'm leary of the site, because the guy I talked to said they had 2 in stock and as we talked he slipped up and said I know one is back there and as we talked some more he would call his supplier and get it comeing...I feel like It's going to be a while before I get it because of the slips.
Fortunitly I put it on Visa and can stop payment if it's really not available and I'm forced to wait.
Another friend of mine said he can get me one at his cost of $ 313.00 plus $10.00 for him if this falls through.
I don't have a clue what shipping is going to cost, come to think of it, because It was never mentioned in the conversation with the guy at The Gun Source.
Hummm I think I'll call them Monday morning.
I'll let all of you know the outcome, where this site can be avoided if I do have any problems...Stikbutter hang loose on ordering anything from them...A.H

EDIT Thanks kR LOL for the compliment...I'm eager to hear about your shooting experience with the Marlin cannon you bought. ROFL...A.H,,,,,,,P.S. I do have some Pine Trees I'd like removed !!

knightRider · 11-11-2007, 09:59 AM

man its like thors hammer, boooom, booooooom .......tree falls crash!
IT ANSWERS THE OLD ?
do trees make any noise when they fall in the woods ?
they do if a marlin 45-70 hit um
oh and then theres the noise of another shell being loaded and the lever click !!!

ArkansasHunter · 11-11-2007, 10:10 AM

I love Leveractions !!! they load quicker than a boltaction and there plenty acurate.
I wish I had went ahead and bought the Browning BLR in .358 caliber instead of the RugerHaweye boltaction in 308...So I recon I'll's have to fetch me dat Brown'in fore to long LOL...A.H

Let me know! IT may just be the norm. just like homedepot. Garbage in and garbage out on the computer. They sell out on an item and dont delete in the computer, not all systems delete automatically and if they dont go in and adjust inventory it becomes FUBAR. Usually when I check to see if someone has an item in stock. I tell them to phisically check. Problem is alot of times there are to damb lazy. They had my 308 Survivor for 221.00 and thats the cheapest I've seen. Mine was a good deal at 150 because it had glass on it. Nothing special cheap chinese junk but serves the purpose for now. Anyway let me know how it works out, good I hope they had really good prices on reloading equipment.

ArkansasHunter · 11-11-2007, 12:59 PM

I just left that site and they do have excellent prices...Stikbutter check out
Buds gun shop just type that in and check out there prices...A.H
