There you go Glenn and Don!

That's a beauty, Peter.

[MountainDon]

I like it. It appears to have a few abrasions, scraps, whatever here and there and I like that too. Comfy, like a pair of old jeans.

That is meant as a compliment.   

A 500 still may be the way to go for a rough 'n' ready gun. 

[peternap]

It was taken as a complement Don. Remember, it was built out of parts in my junk box.

Peter. Any opinions on the Mossberg 500 black synthetic stock?

Peter. Any opinions on the Mossberg 500 black synthetic stock?

If I had one, I would have put it on. On a working gun like this, the fewer things hurt by weather and wear and tear, the better, Of course, they're aren't nearly as pretty as painted wood stocks.

[MountainDon]

Found one for sale locally. A 500 w/synthetic stock, 28" and 18&1/2" set. I have to go dicker tomorrow.

[John_C]

Well done, Peter.  It's very utilitarian.

Hey Peternap!  If you are going into production, I'd like S/N 1..
