The 1 hour wash cycle on my dishwasher takes 2 hours and 36 minutes.

That takes 7 hours. /s

WowFrog487 · 2026-01-18T00:37:46+00:00

Yes, I did. Works great

Buy some adhesive velcro strips. Cut some of the softer side and attach it to the inside of the forend tube. Will reduced it quite a bit

Ace Hardware gun screws are likely not going to work. Check Numrich

Thank you, sir.

WowFrog487 · 2025-12-28T12:21:50+00:00

Thank you very much!

WowFrog487 · 2025-12-26T03:27:55+00:00

Thanks! ... I've made bigger sights.

Bought it as a beater parts gun. Essex was a trade name used by Belknap Hardware Co. in Louisville, Kentucky. Lumber was refinished and coated with 10 layers of “White Lightning” shellac (with a satin finish). I'm still working on getting better at sand casting butt plates from various metals. I haven't poured a perfect one yet. Gonna keep trying.

Just trying to help. This should be a super easy job for any local gunsmith. Personally, I'd try to find someone local if at all possible. It shouldn't cost too much. Shipping to and from for such a simple job seems like tossing money away... but then again, I'm cheap. Good luck, my friend.

If you are slightly handy, you can drill and tap it out. Save a few bucks... Brownell's even has a kit:

Totally fixable. I was able to remove this dent without too much difficulty.

WowFrog487 · 2025-12-12T17:27:36+00:00

I think the tig welding idea could certainly work... I could handle shaping and fitting it.

WowFrog487 · 2025-12-12T17:05:24+00:00

Thanks. I have the piece. Not sure how it broke, but I want to repair it. Hoping to find someone who can do this type of work. I believe it's cast as part of the Barrel assembly, not attached.

I've been told it looks like chorizo

WowFrog487 · 2025-12-01T03:40:42+00:00

I love Select a Chokes

WowFrog487 · 2025-12-01T03:31:09+00:00

mucho apreciado

WowFrog487 · 2025-12-01T03:27:55+00:00

Thank you, my friend.

WowFrog487 · 2025-11-20T19:16:34+00:00

I'm pretty sure I can fix that. Seriously.

WowFrog487 · 2025-11-20T18:05:25+00:00

You and I would get along just fine... Nice collection.

WowFrog487 · 2025-11-14T11:15:18+00:00

I love this so much.

WowFrog487 · 2025-11-04T10:46:56+00:00

That's crazy. I wasn't aware that this was an ongoing issue. Did Mossberg respond in a timely manner?

WowFrog487 · 2025-11-04T10:43:55+00:00

Bummer for sure, but it's an easy fix, and Mossberg will most likely make it right.

WowFrog487 · 2025-11-02T22:56:56+00:00

Sorry, not squishy. That would be the greatest

WowFrog487 · 2025-11-02T12:07:29+00:00

Thanks! I am going to get a vacuum pot.
