Just picked up a shotgun for $29.00 and thought I'd gloat...
It's a Coast to Coast (Mossberg 500) 12ga bought from a gun shop which purchased it from a police evidence sale.
It is obviously in rough shape for that price but will make a nice project gun.
The barrel has been cut down (poorly) and needs to be straightened along with some minor surface rust removal, the safety button is missing and it has no rear stock as the same "bubba" cut that down as well.
I figure i can re-cut the barrel and duracoat/paint it myself, a new safety will run me $18.00 and hopefully i can pick up a used stock for around $15-$20 to get this thing up and running for approximately $75.00.
What do you think?
