daz2202 Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 People, I got a call from an old friend today. He has looked after an old man who lives opposite him for the last 15 years. He makes his breakfast and dinner every day so he hasn't had to go into a home. He died two weeks ago and my mate has inherited his house and belongings. (lucky man, but well deserved for the love and care he has given this guy). Anyway, he called me today and said 'Dazza, I am up in the loft of this house and there is a safe, and in it is a gun.' Not knowing anything about guns he was bricking it. So I popped around after work and its a Mossberg 500 pump 12b with adjustable choke on the end of the barrel. I have it now in my poscession and will be taking it tomorow to have it signed onto my cert. (also got bags of very heavy carts too) So what do you lot know about these guns. I have never seen the adjustable choke before, are they any good? daz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuck. Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Yep seems like it comes with a fixed mod choke, then the barrels been changed over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 it says mossberg 500AG made in usa underneath the action on the side it says .729np 3" magnum 4ton Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teal Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 You may want to check that it has been crimped to only hold 2 cartridges and one in the chamber. It was only in the past 20 years that the law has required anything more to be on FAC, and the previous owner may not have bothered. Congrats on the new gun!

bigstevouk Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Quite a common choke, it's called a 'poly' choke i seem to remember, very good idea, make sure it's clean and it'll work You done well there mate...... atb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 as said did he have a license for the gun or is it unlicensed? if its the latter it may not be quite as simple as you envisage but definitely inform plod you've found it and where it came from ASAP.

daz2202 Posted September 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 have phoned FA dept and they advised me to go to my local RFD and there should not be a prob. I tried to load it up this morning and it seems to be a 1 + 1 this seems strange eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pyr8 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 there isn,t a cartridge stuck in it is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daz2202 Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 All probs now solved. It had an alluminium stop in it so could only accept 1+1. this just clipped out and its now a 2+1. Took it to local rfd today and they are holding it and will check its history and find out where its registered. I should get it back tommorow all signed over onto my ticket.
