Old warrior returns to active duty.

When I picked up the Mossberg 500 below it was in bad shape. Stock was all worn and cracked with many dents and nicks. Barrel was a rusty fixed choke 28". All of the steel parts had rust, including springs. I already had a Maverick 88 HD shotgun, but I just couldn't stand to see an old vet treated this way.

• Completely dissassembled gun.
  
• Cleaned all steel parts with steel wool and CLP.
  
• Replaced springs.
  
• Touched up receiver with auto touch up paint.
  
• New Mossy 18 1/2" barrel.
  
• Hogue Overmold stock and fore-end.
  
• Limb Saver recoil pad.
  
• Meprolight Tijicon bead.
  

Feels like a 20 Gauge when fired with Winchester 2 3/4" #1 buck!
