Several years ago I stumbled on a Mossberg Military training rifle at our local gun show. It just felt good and turned out to be a tack driver. Since then I've been kind of on the hunt for the different models. My son also is a Mossberg hunter and he's got his wallet out a little quicker or had loot in his wallet when I didn't and got a few I missed.
Recently my old Chief acquired some guns and had me clean them up and see if I could sell them.
Of course one of them was a Mossberg 146BA. Pretty nice shape, missing a front sight which I found for 50 bucks.
Thought I had this one already so tried not to look at it too much. Keep bugging me though, I'm a Mossberg Hoarder.
So I check and sure enough I didn't have this one, so I tossed a slightly low ball offer of 100 bucks and I'd pay for the front sight and he accepted. Good guy........
Here she be.

Pondering sanding this one down and putting a nice oil finish on it, you never know just what's under that original finish. In some ways this is sacrilege especially for resale but I as a rule don't resell. I should but regret it every time. I did this to one and found some beautiful figured walnut under that stock finish. Beautiful thing, maybe I'll get lucky again?
Here's a shot of it bonding with it's new mates.

Pictures probably sideways, I gotta figure out how to fix that someday.
