Picked up a beat up Mossberg trench/riot gun last week . Never had seen this configuration before - 7 shot tube and bayonet lug. 500ATP. Turns out these were made in the second half of the 70's and early 80's - before 590 was introduced.
Unfortunately I neglected to take a "before" picture - stock had been painted at some time black, stripped, leaving it almost blonde with remnants of black paint. Receiver was worn, barrel and mag tube were blotchy worn light gray.
I did an economy refinish - barrel and mag tube reblued, receiver painted.
I think it came out passable.
I'm guessing it may have been used by LE or corrections agency.
