Shotgun for women?

[Cr0ck1]

I had one for my 500 but sold it years back it was kind of nice to have the muzzleloader bbl but needed the money.

I am still not understanding how this muzzleloader barrel works on a pump gun?

i didnt even want to touch that one..

[Skunk Ape]

It's impossible,how could you load a pump thru the end of the barrel?

[Cr0ck1]

well the link shows a muzzle loading barrel for the mossberg 500.

I believe you insert a shotgun primer into the action and there is a small flash hole into the chamber,load the barrel like other muzzleloaders. Not sure though, but I doubt Mossberg is advertising a product that doesn't work.

Seems like a cluster$#ck to me, I bet FWC wouldn't consider it a muzzleloader.

You would have fun explaining that frankenstein jigger rig. lol

I don't see how it wouldn't fit the definition of a muzzleloader. You pour powder or pyrodex into the muzzle of the barrel, put a wad and then a sabot or whatever you like to load, tamp it down, put the 209 shotgun primer in, action forward, ready to shoot. Not really any different than any other muzzleloader that uses a 209 shotgun primer, just harder to get to the primer. It's not like you have follow up shots or anything...

What happens if you misfire, or a bad primer? Do you pump it to re-cock or what? Anyways this is off topic, and seems FUBAR to me.

Once again.. B.L.U.N.D.E.R.B.U.S.T.E.R Just tell fwc that.. they will understand.

its no different than any other inline you load it from the muzzle and open the action put in the primer and close action and shoot if misfire occurs rack it open change primer close shoot

I have a bolt action BP that operates like that but it has a solid barrel the bolt only exposes the breech to load a primer. A slide or pump action to operate properly would have to have an open breech,I don't understand how it could contain the primer ignition and still be a true slide action. Anyone have a pic?

I have a Mossberg 20 gauge with a 24" slug barrel that I am about to replace with a 12 gauge. She is a little beat up and could use a re-bluing on the barrel, but she shoots straight. I don't know if you're looking for a used gun or something nice and shiny, but I'd be more than happy to let you shoot it and see what you think regardless.

I want to thank you very much for the offer but I thought you might find someone with more of a need for your shotgun. I did go out and buy the Mossberg that was recommended by Nacho, and I was able to get it in the pink camo. It's lightweight and able to be adjusted for draw length (mine is on the shortest). I haven't shot it yet but it does make me smile.

My husband Richard says that he doesn't care what any gun I care to shoot looks like, as long as I am out with him shooting. I'm glad I don't embarass him with my pension for pink!

Thank you all again and I hope that we can meet soon at some sort of gathering for the group. Anyone going to Bartow on Friday for the Turkey Foundation banquet? We bought tickets when we bought the shotgun (yes we went to Bartow for a shotgun...they had the pink one). If you are there, please say hi to us.

Glad you found the right gun for you. Good luck with it!!!

[nachogrande]

just make sure when you use heavy loads, (slugs/buckshot ) you have it firmly into the notch between shoulder and chest and your face pressed onto the stock "cheek weld" or you will pick up some bruises.close your eyes, bring the gun up into a comfotable shooting position , then open your eyes, if you don't have a good view of the beads and you have to raise your face off the stock to align the bead sites you can add on a neoprene cheek piece to raise your eye level. did it come with 1 barrel only or as a combo pak? different barrels are better suited for particular types of hunting. good luck with your new gun. one way to get familiar with it quicker is just keep it in your hands non stop for a weekend it will build alot of muscle memory quickly.

You can buy the low recoil rounds for deer and hogs like the low recoil buckhammer ammo!
