coated receivers (1 done)

JOHNNY WACKO · Sep 2, 2013

I seen these on G/B they had $25 open bit $30 buy it now. The black that i wanted had a bid so i did a buy it now on it and bid the $25 on the s/s coated 1. They were $10.00 shipping each but he combined it to 1 $10 shipping so for $65.00 i don't think i could have had them done for that.I have to go back to get the name of the coating,but they were cleaned stripped sandblasted+then coated.For the extra $25.00 it will be fun to see what ends up being made from that s/s receiver. The other black 1 will be a Mossberg 500 with a 22" vent rib barrel with aacu chokes.I have all the parts for it and 3/4 of the other depending on what barrel it ends up having. The newer 500 have a shorter pump arm and the stroke is shorter too. I might try 1 of them on with a collapsible stock.They look a bit like a winchester 1300 with the shorter arm that moves the wood back to the receiver a hole lot.

This saids New Haven 600 made by Mossberg on it but its a moss 500 too.

They look good, like brand new in fact.. You'll have to post pictures of the finished guns.

Well, from what you have stipulated JW, they started out well by cleaning and stripping and sandblasting the receivers. That is a great start. Some of the home-brew coatings forgo this and it is what is really gonna help whatever coating is chosen stick to the receiver for any length of time.

Looks like a nice pickup and a great start on a project!!

I seen my FFL guy at the post office today and got a good look at these receivers that came in today.Can't get to his shop to do a transfer yet but i got to hold them and they were nicer then the pictures.I could not find 1 thing to complain about.Life is good. :D I was bidding on Moss 500 parts kits last night on g/b and the same guy out bid me + won every 1 of the 9 auctions that went off.All from the same seller.9 times he out bid me. He could have let me have 1.I got caught up in bidding and went way higher then i was going to.Good thing i lost.
I got 5 more on watch,but a hole working gun is only about $40-$50 more in most cases.But its fun to goof around watching, bidding and building them.

Sand blasting the mag tube brought this gun together pretty nice. Ended up with a 20" accu choke vent rib barrel. I mite put a 6 pision stock on this shotgun? I see a nice set on ebay for $75 free shipping with a forend with rails onit. Or the next 1 will have it.This thing sure kicks.I need a black sling too..
I have to remove the rings from the mag tube and sand blast the tube.Not sure what stockit will end up.I am a stock bolt short or it would have the other stock set on it with that rifle slug barrel lying there.

The guy sent the wrong recever in black, only had a single pump arm so he sent me a replacement free and i kept the other too.
