I have this same gun, right down to the poly choke. My grandfather bought in new and it's never been fired. He didn't hunt. He bought it for home defense.
Cool, then it's in better condition than mine! I've heard how a lot of people owned the bolt action shotgun for home defense because it was so affordable.
@@rusticredd6294 No I have never shot one …. Saw them when visiting a couple friends at their house. Don’t remember the manufacturer but they were sharp looking shotguns.
I did a video as well I have a Mossberg 195 K - A adjustable choke called (select a choke) bolt action 12. and it has 2 round mags, im makeing a 10 round currently, love the gun its amazing. I'm really surprised more people haven't purchased these in the past and they weren't as popular I just think they're cool as heck cool video!
Thanks, man! I just saw your video, that is a neat shotgun! I'd love to see a video of your 10 round mag. I wish these are still made today, and I too think they are cool. I love telling people how there is such a thing as a bolt action shotgun.
I have one of these that I bought at 18 yo im 43 now. Mine was setup for deer. The choke was removed and a scope was added thid was all prior to me purchasing it. I had no idea what it was at first. That said the ol cannon will throw a slug into a 4 “ group at 100 yards. More than sufficient for non rifle deer hunting.
If it was a very cold area a bolt action might be the best bet if one wants reliable follow up shots. If it is cold enough it could make a semiauto action not work properly, or maybe a pump too.
@@rusticredd6294 I am only speculating. I recall watching a video about Canada selecting a suitable modern rifle for their northernmost territory and being a bolt action was crucial in their decision due to the effect of bitter coldness on the guns.

Your videos are always informative and interesting!
I appreciate that. Glad you like them!
Dude, that is sweet!
Thanks!
👍👍 That’s a great looking shotgun, thanks for sharing Rustic. I’ve never owned one but have seen them.
Thanks! I was told once that they are more common in the South.
@@rusticredd6294 yep, I live in Alabama and have a couple of friends who own one.
@@YellowHammer26How cool! Have you shot one? I've never been to Alabama, but I really want to go there sometime.

@@YellowHammer26 Gotcha. They sure are sharp looking. That was one reason why I wanted one.

Nifty! Sounds like a great deer gun that has stood the test of time. I turned 35 today.
I had a friend in High School him and his dad hunted with long barreled bolt action shotguns, not sure if they were the Mossberg though.
That may have been the Marlin model 55. My dad had a friend who had one of those a long time ago.
If they were long barrled then then were probably Marlins. I consider the 26" barrels on these bolt action Mossbergs to be rather short
Marlins or Glenfields same guns though
If it was a very cold area a bolt action might be the best bet if one wants reliable follow up shots. If it is cold enough it could make a semiauto action not work properly, or maybe a pump too.
Ooh, that's some good information there. It makes sense too about the semi auto. Thanks for the information!

@@alanrogs3990 It is a good point either way. Bolt actions do have a reputation to be reliable, and they're awesome!
