Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Start the Mossberg 930 dove gun project

Dang, I didn’t just accidentally dox you did I?
If so, I’m sorry. Well kinda sorry anyway

Not in the plan at all.
Have large hands.
A 10° spacer plate between the stock and butt pad is being thought of from midsouthshooterssupply down the road.
Gun comes up fine, but I think I need just a little bit more of the forward 1/3 rd of the rib to plane out level just a little more.

Shoot it with it and without it once done.
7 bucks well spent
Or 7 bucks in the parts box.

Start an eddie Haskell thread

I had a bullfrog named Buford, till our tomcat killed it.

Man, them cats are fuukers.
He knew you liked Buford, so he killed him.

Sounds like the first line of a hit song!

Mineral spirits bath / cleaning
Rough idea of what It will come out like.
Dry up over next couple hours to regular hue.
Aint gonna do a diluted staining to match the overall difference.
Good to go how it is, appeals to my eye.
Be interesting grain and highlights to look at when bored on the dove field...
Lol!!

Lack of sunlight sucks...
It does look good to me.
Do a very very light 320 sand when dry later today.
Nother clean with mineral spirits.
Let dry overnight.
Tape up the checkering
Hit it with a tack cloth.
Start getting 25/ 75 tru oil and mineral spirits penetration coats to it.

Forearm wiped down.
Poor light...

Buttstock wiped down.
Poor light....

Got a cigg a 2” ash hangin off, while your fanning that rag around with mineral spirits??

Looks great.

Aint no more machine cut 90° angles.
No more blocky look overall.
Pistol grip cap area made the factory dont do.
Nice clear defined outline around the checkering now.
Also gives a better feel in grip. JMO.

I like the rounded and contoured lines way better than the robo machine look it had.


Work in progress.

LOL!!!
Hosed down the area for about 5 mins afterwards.
Then smoked one.
Let all that Captain Planet run off go where the fugg ever.
Rain today .
Should eventually make it down slope to the d bag neighbors garden.

Lol!!!

Do you get beat up shooting doves with a 12 gauge?

Wearing my bowling shoes and johnny knoxville sweat pants.
Lol!!!

No.

Good recoil pad.
Decent weight gun with good pitch on the butt stock recoiling straight into your shoulder properly.
Not an issue.
Gas guns "absorb" recoil also.

Syn stock light weight guns.
Add weight in buttstock like I always have and good pad.

I always wondered about that.


For what ever reason....it seems like a 20 gauge, especially one for "kids" kicks like hell.


There just does not seem to be a way to start a kid with a shotgun....unless they were of monstrous size like me at 6 years old.

Is that the neighbor that jacks off with the curtains open?

One ounce of eights isn't likely to beat anybody up, no matter what gun you are using or how many times you shoot, assuming decent gun fit.

I ran a box thru prior to the pad mod I did.
Then ran another after.
Big felt difference after when the pad had waaaay more give.
Went out back in feb walked about a mile of RR tracks whacking birds. I know, I know the horror of it all and totally illegal whacking precious little birdy,s....
Shot 3 boxes that day lol!!!
Lots of feathered carnage.
Yotes and coons had a smorgasbord along that stretch of track.

I'm a dik and a bird murderer.
Hawks got a pass though.
I like hawks.

It was a John J Audubon day.
Lots of variety on the wing.
Too early in the year for hummers to be around though.
LOL!!!
