Hey All,
Been messing around and restoring an old shotgun and just looking for opinions on what I have done. This is a Mossberg and sons model 183D (a) .410 Bolt action shotgun...as far as I can figure its late 1940s (47-49) I stripe it down did a Duracoat parker finish on the barrel and a dark stain on the wood.
All I really know is that its a good lil shooter and what I found on the internet below
D.F. Mossberg 183D (a)
The original model produced from 1947-1948. It had a plain one-piece pistol grip stock. The gun was distributed with two choke tubes (modified and full), which mount by screwing to the outside of the barrel, as opposed to the inside
