You did a really nice job refinishing the old Mossberg.....I too am a big fan of Mossbergs and have 151s, 42s, 46s, 146s, 144s, and probably a few others I’ve “forgotten”. The one thing they have in common though is they all are very accurate. One of the 42s I have is just as accurate as a couple of rifles that I paid about 10-20X the price I got the Mossberg for - have used that rifle in some competitions and beat Anschutz, Winchester, CZ, Cooper, etc.....man does that piss some people off😄

Nice job of work. Something to be proud of.
I too had brushes with infamy when shooting one of those as an adolescent. It inspired me to save my nickels and buy my first rifle with my own money (a M52). Funny thing, I loved shooting that Mossberg and bellyached to my old man to buy me one. I thought my pleas fell on deaf ears but lo and behold there was a long box under the Christmas tree. (Shades of "A Christmas Story"- perhaps it's why I like that movie so much.) But unlike Ralphie my dream wasn't entirely realized- inside the box was a Mossberg, sure, but rather a bottom of the line semi-auto. It was, and remains, a fun gun to shoot but wasn't the target rifle I really wanted. My first lesson in taking responsibility for my own dream realizations.
Kids today need more .22's and fishing rods and fewer digital games.
