I've decided to breath some fresh life into my old Mossberg 500 12ga shotgun. I'll be modifying it to sudo replicate a WWII Trench Shotgun.
The image below is a Winchester Model 1897 WWII Trench Shotgun.
The image below is Mossberg 500 "WWII Trench Shotgun" I found on google image search and what I'm aiming to create. I like the way the parkarized heat shield looks, so I'll be replacing the plastic safety button and trigger assembly with a metal one. Then have the entire shotgun parkerized.
This is what I'll be starting with.
A 1991 Mossberg 500 12ga.
My first step was installing a new ribbed forearm.
I then installed a Mossberg 500 Standoff Barrel. I thought that the "door breach" barrel would be a fun addition.
