I find it a little suspicious that these old gun gurus were able to invent and create so many different patents. Seems like a handful of men were able to create more quality firearms back in the day, than the entire world was able to in 100 years.
I've also contemplated over the same thing.....even more suspicious is that a guy like John Moses Browning, a guy who would come forward with new designs with totally unique functions one after another in incredibly short intervals, stated that his designs came to him in his dreams. Not just the basic idea mind you but the whole design, totally finished, came to him, he said, in his dreams and he just woke up and wrote them down. He kept a drafting table ready to go at his bedside. Awful convenient that he could never be expected to have observers as he designed or explain the process. Sounds almost like what a Psychic would say when desperately trying to hide the fakery his "powers" are based on. Regardless, though he is often referred to as a genius, by his own admonition he is more a mystical communication artifact of some kind of spiritual ethereal beings out there somewhere inventing firearms. Crazy. Or, it was the year 1889 and the creation of the first trolling answer to an interviewer in history.
Another enjoyable episode. Now you have me wanting to jiggle the bolt handle or slide on all my firearms the next time I have them pointed safely down range.
Old or new.....you should include a vetting process for any firearm in your possession. A zero percent chance of an accident is impossible but by being careful, smart, and diligent you can keep cutting that chance in half.
I bought the same model rifle about 45 years ago for $20 at a gun show from a guy who had about 150 of them from a closed Boys school.....$20 you're choice.
When I need it I just google “Mossberg Chronology” and it pops right up. I think it’s offered by the Mossberg Collectors Association or some similarly named group.
hey milsurp garage, got a question for ya man. do you happen to have like, a marlin 1892 that you'd be able to cover sometime? weird and fun looking 22 that, i came across one and have been eyeing and eyeing for a while and hmmm and haaaawing on and figured if anyone would know on them, it'd be you
Always wanted one of those, but hasn’t happened yet. I do, however, have an older video on a Marlin Model 20a pump action that you might like. Marlin Model 20a th-cam.com/video/UqzCqFF_tU4/w-d-xo.html
@@MilsurpGarage well I did look earlier while the hurricane was a blowing and that model 20a sure looks like it’s basically the 1892 but as a pump. Real neat honestly. And I think the one I came across might be getting placed on order the next time I get out to the store. Already cut a deal for a 583.1 j c higgins and a H&R young america so what’s another hole puncher or two for the pile anyways. Funnily enough I picked up a Bay State H&R 1908 a week ago and then found your video trying to find out where to get a proper stock for it and a replacement of the forend because right now she’s a automatic take down. In an odd length though, 20 inch even

Wow, look at all those models! You couldn't do that today.
You just inspired me to dig out some of the Robert Heinlein novels. Have not read any of them in years.
Another Mossberg Enigma 😮❤️😊😀 I Love Them All Brother 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

I’ve seen sales like that. Back in the day German trainers used to get bought in lots like that…..hint, hint…..
How can I get a list of the mossberg chronology?
