Never seen a 12 gauge like that before that's badass
I also got a bolt-action shotgun 12 gauge mine is the Marlin original goose gun the barrel is 36 inch long
Got the same thing in 10. Hell of a gun.
Just needs a bayonet
Hello. Curious about the U.K. waterfowl hunting rules and regulations.
In the U.S., the Federal agencies thought that there were too many pellets going skyward and they thought the Duck & Geese population would be wiped out. Many folks had switched from single-shots and double barrels to Pump/slide actions or semi-autos such as the Browning Auto-5 or it's cousin, the Remington model 11 which held 4 or 5 shotshells in the tubular magazine under the barrel.
{ My Granddad used to shoot a 10 gauge single shot to hunt ducks and geese at the marches not far from a city. No limits back then. He would sell them later in the day on the wooden sidewalks, for dinner, [ lots cheaper than beef ] early 1900's .}
I know in the U.K. most folks shoot Double barrel shotguns. Do you get weird looks from other hunters using that bolt-action shotgun, especially a brand made in the U.S.?
I bet you can Home defense real good with that 36-in gun 😂😂
Pok'im in the ribs from across the hall 🤣
36" nice! gunship barrel haha!
Have a Harrison and Richardson 12 gauge bolt action 3 shot, 349 Gamester made between 1952-1955 , shoots good, load 2 shells in tube and 1 in chamber, Great Video 👍
I've got about 30 bolt action shotguns. Different makers and configurations. Love these old bolt action shotguns.
I'd like to purchase a 410 marlin or a Mossberg would u b interested in selling any of yours ?
In my opinion a bolt action shotgun is my favorite kind of shotgun. It's quick to reload and with my choke helps focus in my spread.

I’ve often wondered why bolt action shotguns didn’t become more popular. They seem to be well made.
I think it’s just how slow the bolt is. Compared to a pump or semi auto it’s rather slow.
@@mr.randomperson9900 lmfao not if you got a fast hand my bolt is awesome
@@fernandogarza4231 you do have a point. I’ve seen videos of people who can work bolts super duper fast and that’s great, but that takes lots of time and practice. But compare that to a semi auto or pump which are very easy to fire quickly. Overall, a person with a pump or semi auto is going to be able to do it faster most of the time.
@@mr.randomperson9900 yeah not only that my bolt only holds 3. Compared to modern newer shotguns that can now hold more
I mean it's just bc the pump is more efficient and obviously a semi is superior. It doesn't matter how fast you can work a bolt for the majority of users the pump is just going to be better. The coolest feature about the bolt action is the mag feed in my opinion. But with the lack of speed, and the action being harder to use while keeping your aim on the target, it just doesn't stack up
I had one exactly like that with the Polychoke on the muzzle. My Dad gave it to me, he bought it from Sears & Roebuck before they stopped selling guns and ammo. But someone stole it from me along with 5 other guns, a Bow, a climbing stand and a 50Cal can full of ammo right after I got out of the Military and was in the process of moving. I can’t stand a thief.
I’m so sorry about that. That really sucks.
I used to own 1 but sold it because I had to pay bills(just married, in college, in the military, and a kid on the way) I miss that gun but it it kicked like hell
Mossberg and savage made guns for sears and high stsndard
My first ever gun was a JC Higgins I bought when I turned 16 from a pawn shop for $60. I still have it, and it is a remarkably accurate slug gun!
Awesome
Inherited one from my Great Uncle been in the family for like ever.
Looks and works like bran new. Always surprises people older folks say I'm too young to know anything about that gun. Young people don't know a bolt action shotgun is a real thing.
That sounds really cool! I'm fairly confident that Mossberg made a lot of, if not all of the bolt action shotguns with the JC Higgins branding. They were sold thru Sears back in the day. It is my ujndrstanding that Mossberg made these bolt actions with a number of other store brand names on them also.
I really like that bolt action 12 guage. I rarely see those. Most are semi or pump. Good vid bro!!!
I am 11 I have a Sears and roaba 20 gage bolt action shotgun and I love it
It is the best gun
Those bolt guns were very common when I was young. JC Higgins & Ted Williams models were sold by Sears. I have a Savage bolt gun with rifled barrel for deer hunting. Bought it new about 10 years ago. Savage still makes a bolt gun.
My Dad had Westrenfield he bought in the late 60's, made by Mossberg for Montgomery wards. It was a 12ga with a poly choke. Looked about like this one,good shotgun.
@@noahbledsoe5639 Yup, my younger brother's 1st shotgun was a JC Higgins 16ga which was sold by Sears. Cost him $30 used.
I also have a tube fed 12ga bolt gun...5+1
Seen guy this spring with a 10ga bolt action tube fed
Them older enfield rifles made on India after they were shot out were converted to 410 shotshell. They're neat! I think Ian from Forgotten Weapons talled about it a while back. Bet they're fetching big monies now thanks to this gun/ammo-demic. Thought I'd drop this comment here.
I've owned several. The 20ga was my first shotgun. They also made a swamp gun with a 18 or 20" and a poly choke and a goose gun with like a 30" or longer barrel
I had a few mossberg bolt action goose guns with 36@ barrels and I have a marlin pump with a 40” barrel
Now that was a interesting video and back in the day I used to see a lot of bolt action shotguns I own a JC Higgins 410 bolt action.
I still have a old J.C. Higgins 5 +1 shot tube fed 20 gauge. They were built by High Standard for Sears. My Grandfather got it for me at the ripe old age of 10 years. it still works & shoots great. And to me at 64 years its worth a Million dollars LOL.
J C Higgins 16ga with a polly choke from the late 50s it’s different.
My buddy had an old one of these that was in really bad shape, got to shoot it after I had restored it for him. I was really impressed with the smooth recoil and rugged working action.
Bought my first bolt action shotgun in 1956. $39. Still have it.
Cool
I've got one of these in the safe. It's been cut to 18.5" though
Why bother, good old db ,so easy and reliable.
Killed my first deer with one at 13 yrs old . It was later stolen from our home along with 13 or so more guns. The one I had came with a poly choke you could manually loosen or tighten
I have held a bolt action shotgun
I found your video trying to find a spring assembly replacement for my 395 KB magazine for my 12 gauge my father gifted me when I turned 10 years old. I just turned 63 Oct 12th so I had it a very long time. It looks brand new because the spring broke just a couple of weeks after my father gave me the gun. In fact, he gave me & my brother who was 10 years younger the same gun & his broke at about the same time so those magazine designs are trash. I'm looking for a spring replacement which is why I'm researching the gun. I got lots of surplus weapons so I don't care much about firing this one (well, maybe a few times for good time's sake), I'm just trying to make it whole again since it means a lot in my old age. The magazine replacements cost more than the gun is worth so I guess I'll try to make a spring for it. You know 2 shot mag isn't ideal aways so I'm not sure who designed it & for what? Seems like there would be some 5 or 10-round replacements out there somewhere but there's not enough demand. Good luck with yours. You might want to back off shooting this one because that spring is about to break which is the problem.
Got a Savage Arms bolt action 16 gauge with a choke and it's my favourite shotgun I've ever shot. Never used a mag but I'm definitely going to get one. Nice video thanks!
I had this gun in camo. It had a select choke on it that twisted. I shouldn't have traded it away! I also had a JC Higgins set in 12 gauge & 16 gauge. They were also bolt action.
Awesome
How unfeeling! Have you no compassion? Don't you know orange lives matter? I had to use my brother's .410 Mossberg bolt action when I was much younger. Never could reliably get it to feed. Then, time marched on. More recently I have shot three doubles using my bolt action Enfield .410 Musket on the skeet range. Originally a single shot, I modified the gun back to MKIII repeater configuration.
Awesome!! I have a mossberg 185d that I am redoing. I need a nice stock and a screw on choke, then reblue it
Friend of mine gave me a Higgins 583.18 12 guage bolt action shot gun I'm restoring
Awesome
@@WHOTEEWHO its was sold by sears & Roebuck. J.C Higgins started in 1949 and mine is either a 1950 or 51. No serial numbers back then it didnt need it for a shotgun. It's a 16g but I'm going to bring it back as a 12g bolt action
I have a Mossberg bolt action shotgun in 20 ga. Without going into the safe where it resides if memory serves it may be the same model as yours. It has an adjustable choke, and yes, i have shot multiple deer with buckshot and slugs. I have had this shotgun since I was 12, I’m 72 now. My dad bought it from my cousin who bought it new so it has been in the family since new. This is an amazing shotgun, no telling how many quail, dove, pheasant it has harvested. Just plain fun.
Mine was 20ga. The polychoke and sharp cornered stock made it bruise you worse than a 12ga.
Tube receivers were all the rage of the 30s to the 50's. Easy to make from mass produced DOM tube. About as easy to machine as one can get, a dude with cash in hand can walk into any steel supply warehouse and walk out with all the material to dremel and drill press out one of these as a single shot in a day or two. You don't need 1" thick walls or super secret alien space steel with magical heat treat imbued upon it by JMB himself from a secret mountain cave in Utah. Sorry to all the Pilsner J Fudds who devoutly believe otherwise, it's not that complicated.
These were made in .22 rimfire and all the known shotgun gauges. I've owned or do own these in tube and box feed magazines. They're really the everyman's tool, the PSA blem kit of their day.
That's one thing I never picked up is a bolt action shotgun. Almost got a bolt action .410 about a year ago.
I inherited one from my father it's also a Mossberg but in 16 gauge 5 round magazine and something called a vari-choke which lets you adjust from full choke imp. cylinder and modified choke by adjusting a knob on the end it's interesting shooting to say the least but finding 16 gauge ammo can be a bit difficult at times
Mike Braun - Hello. You might want to double check the magazine capacity. I'm looking at my copy of "Shooter's Bible" 1956, 47th Edition, and the 20, 16 and 12 gauge guns had a magazine capacity of 2 shells with one in the chamber.
@@gusloader581 the last few years mossberg made bolt action shotguns they marketed a 12 gauge bolt action with a short barrel and a five round magazine for police departments that were too cheap to buy pump action riot guns. wish i'd gotten one now.
Mossberg also made these for other labels. One was Western Field, called the M175A, only made in 1965-66. Great slug guns as well.
I have a moss, 195k-A bolt action love it great for hunting!!
I have the "285" , the 20 gauge cousin to your Mossberg. Not going to win a beauty pageant, but fully functional as a "meat-on-the-table" / "fox away from the hen house" gun.
BTW - I think you tried to put one too many shells in the magazine. { see "Shooter's Bible" 1962, page 179. 2 shells in the magazine, one in the chamber, therefore compliant with Federal waterfowl hunting regulations. }
I have a bolt action 12 gauge it's a revelation R312AB but it's basically the exact same gun but was sold by Western Auto supply
I hadn’t heard of a bolt action shotgun until I was about 21-22. Then My buddies dad had a 20g bolt action mag fed shotgun. I was like I gotta find one!!! Lol it took some searching f but I now have 2 12’s a 16g a 20g and a 410. The 20 and 410 are both single shot no internal or external mags. The 12 gauges and 16g all have 2 or 3 round internal mags. So they hold 3-4 with 1 in the chamber! I want a 28g bolt and if I can find 1 or if they ever made 1 I might even try to get a 10g?? I don’t mind kick on a rifle.. but never was a big fan of the 10g shotgun’s recoil!!! Never have been shy of shooting any rifle no matter how big!! But man that 10g just something about it I don’t like!! But heck why not have 1 in every gauge? I still need the revolver, lever and semi auto,over under and double barreled 410’s to have an expression of each design they made from single shot on!! They made some I’m sure I probably can’t get now! But for a poor bit I try!! And I honestly have to say I don’t like the look of the bolt action’s but there’s just something cool about them!! Just an oddball shotgun! And I figure the more firearms I collect now the more each of my kids get when I’m gone!! Then they will have a good jump on their collections!! As long as the world doesn’t go completely to hell in a hand basket!!! As always thanks for the content!!! And God Bless!!
Omg freaking God I have this shot gun but in an 18 inch accurate as hell but had to replace the stock with black synthetic stock and I blacked it out with a true glow sight looks like a black ops shot gun thank you for the model...hell yeah
Used'ta see these in Sears and Roebuck back in the 50s &60s under thecJ C Higgins brand...always wondered which company actually made them...
Got a bolt action mossy 16 gauge along with a bunch of parts guns from the LGS I have done alot of business with they were moving and me and the owner were bullshitting spent 300 bucks came home with 2 shotguns,2 centerfire rifles,3 22 rifles and 4 muzzleloaders includes an old straight pull bolt action muzzleloader. They were happy made money ess junk they had to take with them and now I got enough projects to last me till next election
I was given a 395T it was missing a magazine so I ordered a 5 Shell hopefully it'll be here this week.
I shoot a Marlin 512 bolt action shotgun, and absolutely love it...... Kicks like a mule!!
Years ago we had some of around my coworker bought 1 and silly me could've got 1 too they were going for 100dollars new but I already had an H&R 16gauge bolt action along with my savage 340d in 222 Remington now I'm sorry I didn't they're hard to find now if any are still around
I have a 1954 H&R mod 349 Gamester 12 gauge with variable choke and dome sights that has served me well since I purchased it on the 70s. They were great guns not like the sissy stuff they put out now.
Be cautious of that mossberg bolt action I changed the barrel on one for a guy it had a crack in receiver he thought it was just jammed up . I sold him a beat up one for 50.00 and I put his barrel on the hood receiver . A gunsmith wouldn’t touch it cause it had a barrel modified for turkey shoots . Essentially a custom made barrel . When done he asked me how much , I said I can’t legally charge you cause I’m not a gunsmith , so he gave me $100.00 donation nice
I had one in 20 gauge I loved that gun. Hunted with it all the time rabbits quale and ducks.
Sought out this void cuz a buddy just asked if I could refinish and old rifle someone gave him. This is what he brought me. He ended up asking if I wanted it and I do. We just don't know what a fair price is. She's rusty, needs reblued and the wood could use a bit of love.
G'day from down under, I had the same shotgun, good old gun....only reason I got rid of it was I lost the bolt out fox shooting of the back of the ute...couldnt buy parts for it... funniest thing I Eva used it for was getting coconuts down out of a coconut tree....SGss...got them down.....lol
I had a goose gun it had 36" barrel and 3" chamber. They kicked like a mule on strike. I did have a 16ga one to sold it cheap too. Still wish I could find a 410 bore with mag or tube feed. My first rabbit hunt I had a barrowed one , killed my first rabbit on a dead run with it.
That is so cool. I just picked up a 20 guage everything is the same but modle 385 KB. Huh. Cool man.
Goose gun had a 36 inch barrel! 👍🏾😀❤️🇺🇸
I saw a comment on TH-cam by a guy mentioning that he bought a bolt action shotgun back in the day, as I read it I thought I was having a stroke lmao, I’ve never heard of one before or even though of it being possible, after a minute though I realised it’s not that crazy of an idea and the mechanism in theory should obviously work, and here we are, thanks for the vid lmao I’ve never seen this before and although not very practical they are quite cool lol
I have my father’s 395KB. He bought it new,back around 1965.
I just got one today. It’s a western field ent 175. Same thing as that. It’s pretty cool. I’m gona mess with it. For 100$ can’t beat it
FOUND MINE AT THE PAWN SHOP.PAID 149.00 ..I GRABBED IT QUICK
Have almost same Mossberg shotgun in 20 G. Same mag configuration. Fun gun!
I told someone I know that had a bolt 410 told him about your gun what he said was that with the adjustable choke it's a turkey gun well that's what a 89 year old man told me.
Awesome
I have a revelation western auto 12 guage bolt action rifles of my dad's. It's a neat gun but wouldn't use it for home defense. Wonder what it is worth. Great video
Does anyone know how the diagnosis a feed issue on one of these? My mag seems to be sliding in to far. Also the mag release seems to be sticks. The guns action works fine with live ammo. The issue is when firing it. It's like the mag is slightly moving up and down.
1/2 a target lead, at that range, that's not much lead, 1/4 to1/2 and inch on sights, follow through and lead 1/2 a target. Follow through for sure.
I got a western field model 175 12 bolt action I paid 125 for it best deer gun I own cam hit a buck at 150 yards running with it it was made in the 50’s and still puts food on the table
Had one just like it.Bought mine for $99 from montgomery ward in 1971.
I have one in16 and one in 20 gauge. Both with poly chokes. They do the job just fine. Shot and slugs
My grandpa had Stevens 12gage my other one had a ,,20,,gage both of guns are in closet today have seen a lot of rabbits taken with these guns
I am left eye dominant , so I shoot left handed. But always had right handed guns.I was able to kill 3 deer from 1 pack one foggy morning.
I want an old greener or old bolt .410 so I can moderate it for rabbits
I’ve got a Sears and Roebuck 20g bolt action 2rnd mag. She’s an ugly blonde but she’s a shooter.
When I was a kid my best friend’s dad had a bolt action 10 gauge with a really long barrel that he called a goose gun, he deer hunted with it when we ran dogs. My best friend killed his first deer with it at 12 or 13 years old
I believe Mossberg made the bolt action in 410, 20, 12 and 16 gauge.
That was the first gun I ever hunted with, and if you would back that Poly Choke off of full, you'd hit a lot more clays.
I shot in college. There is zero chance you could use it for skeet😂. I only saw a pump twice. But I want one of these.
went rummaging around in the gun safe, just looking for my little ranch rifle, found one of these in there and spent a good two minutes inspecting the barrel opening trying to figure out wtf this thing shot, then i noticed it was a 20 gauge
All around hard working shotguns , good for birds, small game , Coyotes and deers... i keep 1 in my barn and in my truck .. anyboby can fix one , easy to find parts.. Cost $50 to $200 ... And at that price you can get mud on them, you can drop them. You can throw them in your truck and scratch the s*** out of it. There affordable, they're a workgun They shoot slugs and buckshot just fine too.. There's several different brands and types. All basically, the same, they're all good...
Just got me one in 20 gage Western field. With poly choke. Nice to see a test of how well the poly choke works
Mine is a Sears and Roebuck. It has a magazine tube instead of a box. It holds 5 shells. Lots of fun to shoot
Mine is a 1953 Mossberg 195 12ga With adjustable choke.
My deer gun is a savage 210 slug gun kicks like mule I also got a 410 Mossberg I use for rabbit and squirrel
I have a old 10 gauge shoot gun with a smooth bore with a adjustable muzzle choke
I had a 20ga Mossberg builded in choke was fun to shoot but dangerous a couple times the gun miss fired as soon as I touches the bolt it fired
My dad use to have one of these after they banned pump and semi autos in australia, apparently they were fairly cheaper
then a break open and lever action
I Have a 20 ga 385 KB, its a very cool and unique shotgun
I have a 12 ga. , a 16 ga. , a 20 ga . And a 410 ga. , I have been hopping to find a 10 Ga. for my collection .
I have that gun it never had the clip so it’s just a single loading bolt action but I can shoot this thing without Earmuffs
Great video always good to see old guns still being used
I love it!
I got that same gun in the 20gauge. I love that old bolt action. Its a great for dove huntin. You can twist the choke to what ever no tools er nothin. Who-tee-who
Awesome
This is the first shotgun I ever bought good gun almost took a buck with it my fault not the gun only gone hunting two times
Wanna see a weird gun look up mossberg 200 first mossberg pump
hi guys i just got 12 gauge one 25 inch barrel with poly choke it work very well
Really like your unrehearsed fun videos.
Really appreciate you watching Jeff
I own a Mossberg 695 T with a 31 Inch barrel and it is accurate as can be
My dad has one if these beauties, but he removed the firing pin at some point in the past.
DUDE LOAD 1 IN CHAMBER ,THEN PUT MAG IN.....THANKS,.....
Don't see them to much anymore reliable shotguns and gret look
I just recently got a Mossberg 395t for $20
It's a lakefield bolt action. Pre Mossberg.
I really wish bolt action shotguns were more common.
My dad had one in 20ga looked just like urs was a great turkey gun
I have one of these in 20 and 16g there pretty neat. I scored them from a guy looking to get rid of them for a 120 for the pair. Took them apart and cleaned them the only flaw is the bluing is worn off on the under side of the barrel wear it sits in the stock witch is pretty normal cuz no ever really took these things apart. Also there supposed to be read and green dots for safe and fire and both of mine are missing the green dot that would of been in the stock.
