1969 Mossberg M500A

[Glenn R. McMannly]

Now here's an oldie yet a goodie:




This is my little Mossberg Model 500A 12 gauge pump-action shotgun. You don't often find these early 1960s era guns these days, especially in this condition.

Recently I've added a Hogue pistol grip, shell card, and a Surefire X300U flashlight via a CDM mount.

This old Mossy shotty features a single action bar and beautiful factory jeweled bolt and carrier. The bluing is very nice and finish and fit is far superior to anything Mossberg makes today.

This is a smooth shooter and is compact and handy for "interior social remodeling" purposes. I am keeping it loaded with Winchester's Ranger 00 buckshot low recoil loads.

Twenty something years ago working at a gunshop I found and old 500A, nice wood stock and for end. Had a heat shield and need sight. Everything was nicely blued. Should have bought it. One day it was just gone. I've never seen another old 500A like that one.

Here's a 500B (16ga.) i got for $75 back in the late 70's.
It has no serial numbers so made before 1968.
