Bolt action shotgun

Master Class
Saw someone in another thread mention not seeing many Bolt action shotguns and thought I would post this article. I was given a Mossberg model 183ke about 47 years or so ago as a birthday gift from my father for my 10th. Over the years it has made short work of many rabbits, squirrels and various other small game as well as the occasional varmint. See attached pics, still a beauty.
Link to article below,not a bad read.

That's a good lookin shotgun.
 
My first. A gift from my grandfather, a Mossberg 410 bolt gun. I grew up in the North Jersey sticks back in the 60-70s. The state stocked pheasant, Woodcock were migratory and hard to hit with that 410. I remember it had screw on choke tunes. I miss them both... very much.

Wow! That's the very same gun I bought back in the early 70's, 'cept mine was a 12ga. Plain Jane wood, not so shiny bluing, and a 'Poly Choke'. Can't comment on the model # 'cause I just ain't sure. 1970-72 was a long, long time ago!!! :)
 
I remember sitting in the duck blind as a kid, honored by being there with my dad and his hunting buddies. One guy was legendary for his work with a Winchester 97....used to keep a shell in his massive left hand and at the third shot he would drag that shell back, dump it into the chamber and close the action so fast we have been stopped by game wardens convinced he didn't have a plug in the magazine. It was hell on the finish, but he was a hunter not a collector. Anyway, he had a bolt action shotgun propped in a corner of the blind that I swear the barrel was as long as I was tall. That was his "Big Medicine" for far out wary ducks...that thing shot like a rifle! A Marlin Goose Gun I think...I had not seen one before or since.
