Stainless Steel Mossberg (Rare?)

Learn something new everyday.

What did we learn, I missed it??

How much of the internals is stainless ? If you took this on a boat in saltwater, I bet it would rot away in a hurry.

Not you, I learned they made these in stainless. Never knew, assumed they were all Maricote or Nickel.

I bought mine back in the early 90's. It is all SS except the trigger guard. It wasn't called the mariner when I bought it just the Mossberg 500 stainless steel. I think I bought it from an old gun store on Joppa Rd in the Parkville/Carney area. Now D&L window tinting.

Nichols- a great shop. Had a lot more than just guns.

Ricks Gun and Pawn in Conowingo. I went from hating the place a few years ago to it being my go-to shop for transfers and now bi-weekly deal shopping that sometimes turns into good buys.

Good people to deal with, willing to work with pricing on their used stuff and generally have a pretty good inventory depending on what you're looking for.

Does that bunch of knuckleheads still regard AR-10s as "banned assault rifles"?

Can't say one way or another. I know they struggled with what was and wasn't HBAR and whatnot for quite a while. If the laws weren't so convoluted and screwed up their job would be much more simple.

Considering the legal landscape of ~2013, I think they do an average job of staying on top of things.

I was eyeing that mossy in Ricks on Thursday. I went in for a transfer and saw it. Pretty nice.

There are a few aftermarket finishes that appear to be stainless. I don't remember Mossberg ever making one in stainless, but could be wrong. One thing's for sure, if the receiver IS stainless, it should weigh considerably more than a standard 500 with aluminum receiver.

A call to Mossberg with the SN would enlighten us all.

PS--stainless or not, the guy on GunBroker is smoking crack.

You got that right

Good score! Haven't seen one of these in years. Didn't they make those Just In Case shotguns in stainless too?

 

[PJDiesel]

They made one that came in a plastic tube. Marketed something along the lines of "salt spray" or something. Maybe that was a Remington..... not sure.
