    Mossberg Silver Addition

    I have had my Mossberg shot gun for many years. I bought it for clay shooting and bird hunting. As you can see it was not the typical Silver Addition. It has pheasant in lays on both sides, some floral designs and a gold trigger not brass. Fit and finish is excellent, walnut stock, and good attention to detail all around.

    I have always had DBBLs, I sold my Benelli, Remington, and Weatherby over a period of time and now have only my Silver addition. It came with full, modified and improved cylinder chokes. I have won more turkey shoots with this shotgun than the other ones. It is also chambered for 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells.

    It came with a hard case so you can break it down and store it. Mossberg out did them selves when they made this one. You can also select which barrel you want to fire first using the safety selector to A (top) or B (bottom). When shooting clays I have modified choke on the bottom and full choke on the top.

    Got my 870 to about where I want it. Civet-12 is getting there... just needs a new muzzle device.

    Old school, budget, soft core delivered in a discreet plain brown box: H&R M-48 Topper in .410 c. 1948. Besides the nice wood, I was surprised to learn it has real ejectors & the barrel release swings both ways.

    Where'd you find the mag extension? I need one to replace a damaged one on a 11-87 I have and I haven't seen them in stock anywhere
    eBay. Paid a stupid amount for it, like retarded amount... but I wanted it and nothing else, so I bent over. New in box too.

    A member here had a blued one for sale. Medusaarms I believe.

    WTH, I’ll play (I ain’t doin’ anything ‘cept putting’ logs on the fire! :)

    Just prior to exiting MD, I was surprised to get a call that my name had been picked out of hat in a drawing for an old shotgun ...

    [A good ol shooting buddy’s daughter was near killed in tragic MVA and needless to say after being in a coma for months and then paralyzed and still in the hospital for the rest of that year even the medical copays were too much for her and her family ... a local gun shop owner FFL put one of his personal collection Parker’s up for raffle. My buddy was - and a freakin’ slew of other club members were - there for my family when our oldest son survived TWO bouts with two DIFFERENT cancers, back-to-back over a 3-year period so, I bought raffle tickets ... til my wallet felt it!.)

    Having an affinity for old doubles I was thrilled then and since but, life got so busy I haven’t had much of a chance to truly appreciate the old gun.

    I’ve shot trap with it once or twice (at least once, my memory fails me ...) and I decided to shoot skeet with it Sunday (choked full and fuller, I know, I know! ;-) and so, after coffee Saturday morning, I headed down to the shop to load up some low/no pressure soft-shooting 12ga 5/8oz loads (a published 3/4oz load reduced to a 5/8 payload: Win AA HS hull the extra powder cup inside bottom takes up juuuuuust enough extra space! {hs# ); 5/8oz Eagle #8; ClayBuster 12-0175, zero wad pressure; on top of 15.0grs Alliant Extra Light and a Fiocchi 616 primer) but,

    before I got to reloading I gave the bores a good scrubbing with JB’s Cleaning Compound and started to look at the condition of the wood, for the first time really (again, life’s been a whirlwind) and that turned into starting to at first absent-mindedly wiping the gun down with some oil soap and that turned into going through a bunch of old toothbrushes in focusing scrubbing efforts across the checkering.

    And then some more rags ... and then some more toothbrushes ...!

    61C20CD8-C8C2-42EB-8120-A49983B5004B.jpeg

    It was just ahead of dinner when I emerged from the basement shop with a gun that is far, far cleaner than when I took it out of the vault but, still in need of more time and attention than I am able to afford it at present. Someday though ...

    S/N puts it at early 1922 in referencing this page: http://parkerguns.org/pages/manuf.htm and that’d be right to the month but just one year before my late Dad was born ... calipers show the muzzle constrictions as “Full” in referencing this page: http://parkerguns.org/pages/faq/ChokeSize.htm ) and the length of the chambers measure at 2-3/4” (even though 1922 isn’t that “old”)

    The dried oils, solvents, dirt, crud and who knows what else began coming off the sides of the butt stock, grip area and forestock but, there remains much more to be scrubbed off!

    My buddy’s daughter came out of her coma and eventually worked her way out of a wheelchair (something the doctors had determined would not likely ever happen) and quite often when I look at the hard steel on this old gun I reflect on that young gals tenacity and determination ... no doubt about it, this gun both needs and deserves some level of restoration or, at the very least, real tender, loving attention!

    Cont’d ...

    All ^^^that^^^ was Saturday.

    Then came Sunday and 1:30pm means Skeet! First round of skeet went great (what a beautiful day, was 26^F on the lakeshore when stoking the woodstove at dawn and by 1pm at higher elevations I was down to two long-sleeved tee shirts! ;-)

    LOL, she’s so heavy, and those 5/8oz loads so light / no pressure that I don’t know what surprised me more as I walked off Stn 1 - that they’d broke because I’d hit em all or that the gun was even going off. I mean, ZERO felt recoil, haha!

    Forgot to tell my squad mates about the choke constrictions and when I nailed the two Stn 1 low house targets they let out some blue words! :lol: I was on a straight til Stn 5 when I - being a right-handed right eye dominant shooter - lifted my head off the stock to “look over” the barrels on my low house (woof!) and that option (woof!). Did the same thing on Stn 7 low house (of all the targets!) for a 22. I‘d rather not talk about Round 2 (21) Ugh. But, I am hooked on this ol’ gal!

    (As far as doubles with 2-trigger guns, I have arrived at a good - for me - practice allowing for making transitions on simo or following pairs, from the front trigger (first barrel) to the rear trigger (second bbl) and that is:
    after closing the action and with Safety still on, just before I call for a target, first placing the second knuckle of my trigger finger on the rear trigger and THEN a without moving my hand, moving my finger to the forward trigger - this hand position on the guns stock (whether straight, pistol grip or Prince o’ Wales) ensures I will have enough “tip” (or the “pad”) of my trigger finger to reach and pull the forward trigger AND most effortlessly move my finger quickly (really instantaneously for the second of a simo pair) back to the rear trigger - moving only my finger (and NOT my hand). When shooting “long”, dropping or distant followup targets - or any target requiring I really REALLY “stay in the gun”, I’ve noticed a direct correlation between having to move my hand and fumble for that rear trigger and moving my head, typically off the stock ever so much to notch up a lost target, haha!

    In fact, other than low house of the doubles on Stn 7 Round 2 I believe I broke all the other 15 targets of the 16 of all doubles or simo pairs for the day. I am REALLY looking forward to shooting this old gun some more (really anxious to get back out on a sporting course) but, while waiting my turns to shoot I kept looking the old gun over and in the daylight her need for attention really is apparent ... just gotta figure out what my priorities are ... the checkering on that oil soaked forend is really SCREAMING to be brought back ... All in all though, A Wonderful series of back-to-back afternoon “dates” with a 98-year old, haha!

    IWI TS-12 Tavor 15+1 shot 12 gauge in three 5 shot rotating tubes. Uses 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells.

    Would I trust my life to this? Maybe.

    This thing goes bang every time I pull the trigger. I have had no loading or extracting issues.

    Here is my only hang-up...

    This thing has buttons and controls all over it. Some seem to be placed right, some are hard to find. If I was in a stressful situation like a home invasion, I would rather just use a good old pump action shotgun.

    This thing is extremely fun to shoot, and is a great conversation starter at the range.

    I messed with a TS-12 at the local gun shop and the ergos were just awful, in my opinion. I don't hate the idea of a bullpup shotgun with decent capacity (like 10+ rds), but I just don't think anyone's quite cracked the code yet. Maybe something like a Calico-style helical magazine? Seems like rimmed rounds shouldn't play too badly on those.

    ETA: apparently Calico showed a shotgun at SHOT 2012 with a helical magazine, but it never got through development.
