I wouldn't lean that rifle against my outhouse.
It would be better inside out of sight with a roll of toilette paper over the muzzle.
At least then it would be serving a useful purpose.

Re: Have all y'all missed these new Mossbergs?
That is just WRONG !!
Re: Have all y'all missed these new Mossbergs?
I partially agree. Thinking outside the box is great. Did they have to make it so ugly though? I think it might improve the appearance a tad bit if it had a solid black butt stock instead of the AR type adjustable butt stock. I still wouldn't really like it, but it would be a little more tolerable, to me at least.86er wrote:While this gun is no for me because it doesn't suit my tastes or uses I think Mossberg should be commended for thinking outside the box and bringing a "retro" platform into the modern position to reach the new generation.

Let's face it, they have learned from past practice that if you slap black plastic and rails on a gun it sells like hot cakes. Ruger and Taurus have learned the same thing. They're doing what companies that stay in business do - SELL PRODUCT.
I just wish they'd offer one in .45-70 for us traditional folks.

Re: Have all y'all missed these new Mossbergs?
Mossberg has generated FOUR PAGES and two threads with comments about their new rifle. Ok, so most of the comments are negative... but still, what is they say about publicity... if they ain't talkin' about you, you're dead... or something like that!

Re: Have all y'all missed these new Mossbergs?
I've seen injection-molded plastic stocks for leverguns, that follow the traditional lines and feel.. Don't tell me Mausburgh couldn't have used something like that on their new toy.. the "tactical" stock has too many corners and angles and projections on it to be really useful in a HD situation. Looks to me like it could get hung up on household obstacles too easily.

Re: Have all y'all missed these new Mossbergs?
I say put a regular style synthetic stock on it, put a peep sight on the top and only put ONE, SMALL rail towards the front to attach a light. Add in a lever butt cuff from levergun leverworks and call it good. Load it with some of th 125 grain Federal Powershoks and we would have a real nice combination. Of course this is provided that it reliable. I think I would be more willing to try it with an old Marlin or Winchester.

Re: Have all y'all missed these new Mossbergs?
Just watch, Mossberg will make a few; sell a few. No one will want them. CDNN will buy the remaining stock and sell them off at a deep discount.
Then some gun writer will do an article, then everyone will want one, the prices will climb….
Better buy one as a collector's item/investment.

Re: Have all y'all missed these new Mossbergs?
You got that right, Griff..!
I have to wonder what the recoil force vectors are like, with that disjointed, dog-leg stock..? In the AR configuration, the stock is in a straight line with the bore, but this Mausburgh is a complete perversion of design... I hope all 17 buyers are ridiculously-happy with the new design, but somehow, I doubt it...

If CDNN does buy all these in a year or two, they might price them low enough so a guy or gal can put a Ramline stock on it to replace the AR collapsible stock
The synthetic timber carbine was ugly too, now some people view them as "collector's items"

Dear Buck Elliott, I agree with you that this "Mussberg" is pretty stinky. But how come you "despise" sliced bread? I love to make "Dagwood"(showing my age) sandwich's using rye bread and it is sliced but still good. I do like to go to the bakery and get an oval sourdough, break off a hunk and butter it, but I still love my sliced rye. White bread not so much. God Bless.

I thought the ballistic abortion was a Photoshopped joke when I first saw it.
Now that I know it's real I'm not laughing........another belly flop for a struggling American gun company.
Mossy tried to appeal to the AR/Black rifle group and the old legacy guys and missed the target on both.
Whoever is in charge of marketing at Mossy should be looking at new career options.
