Was cleaning my in law's guns and forgot he had this.

It's been a long time.

had about 5 different versions and loved them all. still have a target and a tube fed one . Know where there two of that version but it is the one I never had.

Actually saw two of them at Dad's.

One he's had forever, the other he picked up a few years ago. Someone did a pretty neat job of shortening the fore-grip on the second one -- good enough that the seller advertised it as the "rare short-grip variation".

Nylon 66's of all things. He had versions I had never even heard of. I forget how many he had but I was kind of surprised how many variations there were. It was over a dozen...maybe 2 dozen.

I have the tube fed version with aprature rear, and 4 blade target front sight in the safe. Shot a lot of stuff with it. It lived in a pocket behind the seat of my old truck for years.

It looks horrible but still shoots great. The trigger really could use some work.

-

Mossberg, correct? Not familiar with that version though.

-

Nasty vertical fore-grip. Better not show that to Pelosi, et al.

I see them here and there but have never owned one. Like uncowboy mentions, we recently saw one with a very neat front sight with 4 flip up blades and a rear peep. We actually went back to buy that'un but it was gone when we got back.

From what I have read, they will shoot with the the rest of 'em.

....the semi-auto version of that Mossberg.

and something like a Apache nickle and black version... Bill is fishing on his lake in Florida these days.

The full sized, tube-fed vintage full rifles, are awesomely accurate. I use4d my Dad's to compete in Jr Matches at Camp Perry, and if I didn't shoot 'possible', it was not the rifle's fault. My gunsmith once told me that their barrel making was second to none, FWIW.
