Mossberg Model 151k

[Howie]

Got this one from another member....Of course the wrist was cracked almost all the way through...Tuff to find them without

crack..

I finished breaking it....it was just easier to repair that way. Acraglas and alot of filing and sanding and she's good to

go. Stronger than ever.

Rubbed it down with Tung oil for a nice non shiny finish.

Stripped the barrel to removed the rust and old Blueing

Cold blued it.

Took 3 Kids out right after work. They loved the feature of loading it through the stock and most of them couldn't believe it was made in 1951

From what I read, they only made that rifle for 1 year. Really nice work!

1950 to 1951. Mossbergs first attempt at a Semi auto....That trigger spring is definitely unique

Sweet! Love that walnut!

Had one just like this that was busted in half like most of them. Wrapped in doped fabric but never got around to properly fixing it. Neat old gun

I learned to shoot on an old Remington bulpup. Same gun as the Browning SA22. I assume it was a Remington manufactured browning design. It was a youth model though and only shot the shorts.. I was (and still am) real bad about keeping my hands too close together and it bit me more than once since they spit the shells out the bottom of the gun. I am surprised I don't have a scar on my left wrist from that gun

Great stories! I love hearing them
