Just recently posted videos on a couple of old bolt action Mossberg .410 shotguns....I love their .22’s as well and these shotguns have the same feel. Check it out!

Nice. Recently posted a Mossberg bolt action shotgun video.....check it out!

Curious, what did the M-b variant consist of?

Based on this video, I'm not impressed with either the ruger or the marlin. But then 3 shot groups at 25 yards is pretty meaningless. My mossberg 151k routinely does .875 diameter, 5 shot groups at 50 yards, using cci ammo (and a scope). Like you, I think this model mossberg is one of the most accurate rifles ever made.

Just read up on South Africa Gun laws after reading your comment……seems like lawmakers here have been reading them too.

Glad you are out there using it! Thanks for tuning in.

Yes! That adjusting plate. I had subsequent Mossberg’s that did have this sight, you are correct. Funny thing is, sighting through that little screw hole works out really well as a sight picture and hits the target dead center. It stays!

Yes. It’s a winner for sure.

How exactly does it “jam”? How it is behaving specifically can give clues as to what is really wrong. Does it do the same thing with all ammo types and brands? Is it jamming in the receiver during feeding or not feeding rounds out of the tube?

Thanks for the kind words. Check out one of my newer videos where I feature a Mossberg bolt action .410 chambered shotgun! Sounds like it would be right up your alley.

@@MilsurpGarage I have the 20 and the 12, but I have been waiting to find a deal on the 410. They are in very high demand.

@@mikeofmanymikes2630 Really, I’m tripping over those things, they are all over the place lately. Yesterday I found a Mossberg No 83 in .410 in dirty but working condition. It was made from approximately 1936 to 1939. After a bit of haggling I got a $75 quote but decided to “sleep on it”. Butt plate seems like a plain steel replacement, I think the correct one is plastic with some writing or symbol on it. That’s holding me back.

@@MilsurpGarage I would buy it if it is still available. Those are the ones that are going for 2-3+ online.

@@mikeofmanymikes2630 Just did an edit to correctly identify it as a No. 83. A little research showed it was originally released as a no. 80 with a steel buttplate in 1933. I may swing by for another look today.

Those special branded guns interest me too. Check out my recent video on the JC Higgins 16 gauge shotgun…..it has a crazy history.

Nice. Enjoy! Thanks for tuning in.

Thanks for tuning in!

Yes, I do notice that they are very very accurate. That must mean they are good barrel makers.

You're welcome!

I just keep count. My policy is live ammo only during live fire and inert only during function testing and to never mix the two.

great idea.

Well……not quite. Here’s the Mossberg Chronology….. www.mossbergcollectors.org/100-years.pdf

I love all these Mossberg variations.....check out the Mossberg bolt action shotgun I posted a few videos back, same deal. Actually, posting another old Mossberg video later today!

Curious if you watched the video! We poured through several detailed exploded diagrams of several models from the Brownells Encyclopedia.......were you making a sandwich during that part? Can’t say I blame you.....sometimes I think I’m putting my audience to sleep. Hey, check out my latest videos for some more cool old mossberg stuff.....posting another one today!

I’m not telling the owner of that sign……..although it can be easily fixed by transposing letters. I found the mag tube pretty quick. I suppose it depends on how scarce the particular model you needs parts for.

Yeah, that Brownells book is awesome but I’m not going to transcribe all those models and part numbers! I encourage anyone interested in this stuff to get the book.....it will come in handy for years.....much more info than I could ever type!

@@MilsurpGarage I meant just for that model & related models being added into the lower video description, not the whole book or all the parts for the model and their numbers. That would be asking for a lot, and I hope the closed captions would help with youtube search. I wish youtube search would pick up information from comments, as I would type it all out, as service to myself and the community. Just maybe add small blurb this has information for parts of the following similar models from slight variations over years. Not key wording spamming but actual helping people find their way to this great resource video. Just enough text to help searches results trigger for the the Model 50, Model 51, Model 51M , Model 51M(a), Model 51M(b), Model 51M(c), 151K , 151M (easy copy & paste for you)To draw in someone's search so they can see the book's pages in the video , to help them start down that road. Most would guess the "A" through "C" might be related for variations in a few parts, but knowing the 50, 51 and 151 were sharing some of the same main parts would be helpful for people searching. Its a well made video is why I was asking. I like buying new books as they come out, I have several Brownells books but somehow missed this one. Thanks for the heads up , it's in the cart waiting for my next order. I'm constantly hunting used book stores for the older copies of these types of books from all of the companies. Much like my beloved Bannerman's reprinted catalog , you just don't get as good of reference source in more modern books/catalogs. When Numrich (Gun Parts Corp) reprinted their last/latest bible, I jumped on it, sadly it gives only small picture /schematic and numbers with part names but doesn't contain item numbers or cross referencing, nor ordering information. It was less informative than their previous Bible/catalogs, I've seen. The internet may be the master search tool but nothing beats a great reference book shelf.

@@ablemagawitch Glad you found that Brownells Encyclopedia book....its pretty old. FYI, there are different versions depending on the printing date so make sure you get one that covers your interests. I hear your ideas and hope you understand that keyword spamming and reprinting of copyrighted materials beyond "fair use" guidelines gets you in trouble here on KZfaq. I do what I can.

@@MilsurpGarage I appreciate you listening and responding. You have my sympathy for being are up against KZfaq's dumb algorithm that can't be reasoned with, and unlike human can't admit they were wrong. They really went out of their way to hide any creator & user facing address. Thanks for heads up on the different years, I've seen Volume 1 but on Brownells website their own staff claims has never heard of volume 2. I wouldn't put much faith in that answer , probably a young ""social media expert"" , that doesn't know the companies history. As most of that history occurred before they were born... Maybe Brownells never followed though but based on some other books series they made, enough new models over the years created add on appendixes. Until those created an entire new next book's worth, for a second Volume. The question why print Volume 1 when you don't have volume 2? I have seen in my searches on this book, the Brownells original 1959 1st printing, then a 1960 2nd edition printing, which I guessed they misjudged demand and reprinted with minor corrections that you always only find after you publish... , 1966 , 1975 and I saw you have video on this one kzfaq.info/get/bejne/hqmbi86X0qqpnKs.html and it is the 16th edition, so maybe they were doing yearly versions?) and the latest 2015 printing dates. Obviously older is better and the "buy them all" for the slight tweaks is best option . My next order is having the newest version but of course want the older ones. Half the problem is some of the places that list them think they deserve $200+ and those prices are set by pricing programs that compare their rivals listing and raises it and then their price monitoring software see the prices raise, so raises their's and it repeats to absurd levels. I know be patient and shop and it will show for for a fair price. As I get older, I'm really missing that old table that used to be at gun shows with the 1 dealer that had 5-8 tables of nothing but old gun books at gun shows. I wish had known how valuable those would become to me later.

How can i get SN in orden ti registre the gun under my name at the mexican goverment?

How old can be a Mossberg 151K ?

1950 or 1951.

To be safe, you better ask the Mexican Government to find out from the cartels what you need to do.

Ohhhh, I fire it! What is the Savage 87? I shoot everything. Is that the clickity clack?

@@MilsurpGarage yes sir.

Yup. It’s stock.

It definitely is not a repair. The usual procedure for buying these .22’s is checking it out on the rack, doing a bit of research in the car, then buying if it seems interesting and/or in it’s original condition. The real research begins once it’s inside the Milsurp Garage. The “repair” talk regarding the pin was with the gun store guy when it was still on the counter and I was exploring the “dealer” part of the “gun dealer” job title. Actually, it was brought up and pointed out by him.....in the name of transparency I suppose. Didn’t take much research back here at the Milsurp Garage to find out that they all had that pin. Regardless, the missing mag tube made this one a great deal......the mag tube purchase kind of evened the score. I’m happy, it’s a real nice shooter.

What did I say? I messed that word up?

Feeding snap caps is always just a “simulation” of how it will feed during live fire.....especially blowback operated guns. Simulating the explosive blowback is not easy to do and some actions really rely on the violent blowback force to work properly.

I’m just giving a basic overview here…..not really some scientific controlled accuracy study. Think of it as a plinking pass…..I’m more concerned about function….hitting the target is a bonus point.
