I like guns, period. I like newfangled plastic and aluminum Lego guns and I like old smokepoles throwing cast lead with the stench of sulfur. But I don't like it when they mix.

Mossberg makes some darn good shotguns, but whoever designed this needs to put down the t-square and back away slowly. A lever gun needs no adornment, unless you have some big medicine like an 1895 Winchester in 405 Win. Then all it needs is maybe a tang sight. This thing needs to be killed with fire.

Cleaning out the old parts bin maybe? Some how my mind keeps trying to hang on to the hope that this is a photoshoped joke.

Wow, I'll have to show this to the fella over on Marlinowners.com, he builds "tactical leverguns' But I dont think even he would go to this extreme!!
Stoger also released a year or so back, and double bbl coach gun in matte black, black stocks, with a rail on top and bottom for optics. SAD SAD

stoger was pitching it as a super duper self defense / home defense gun IIRC....

i do have a wood finish stoger coach sxs 12ga short barrel (18ish?). much love for it

just playing off the kids and their love for ''tacticool''. Hopefully it's like an idiot, annoying in the present, but with any luck he won't reproduce and the problem will take care of itself.

That's enough to make a grown man cry...

This post has plunged me well into the steps of grief. At first I was in denial, then unbelievable pain ensued followed closely by angry rage. Now I am depressed. My only hope is that I can adjust to a world that has produced this outrage and move on to reconstruction and, someday, acceptance.

AND from Mossberg! I would expect such a thing from Rossi/Taurus! But not Mossy

If only it had a revolving cylinder firing .410/.45LC

Rick, you mean like this one ?:

Just think, with that abomination rifle in a pistol caliber, the Stoeger self-defense dbl brrl or a tricked out Winchester 97 and a couple of polymer frame Ruger Vaqueros and there'd be a new class for CAS.

All nylon gear instead of leather and battle dress. Combat Cowboy???

That's funny right there! I had to copy/paste/send that to my younger bro (SASS- Major Art Tillery) heck could be his new persona.

I'm thinking of adding a vertical foregrip to my 74 Sharps.
