Mossberg 195

[Grove]

Hey everyone, just picked up a Mossberg 195 bolt action 12 gauge off the EE and wondering about shooting slugs through it.

It's a smooth bore with C-Lect choke on it, 26 1/2" barrel.

Anyone else have/had one of these and shot slugs through it?

Take off the choke before shooting slugs - for the choke's sake.

P.S. How'd you like the size of the bolt compared to, say, an Enfield's?

 

[Grove]

Bolt feels a bit chunkier then an Enfield. especially in the bolt knob an rod thickness. Just feels bigger.

Now question for people that own/owned one of these, how do you get the firing pin out?

Theres bunch of grime in there and I want to clean it. I figured out to unscrew the end cap, but after that I don't know.

The rotating part inside the firing pin housing is what I'm stuck on.

Thanks.

Pictures.

Well just got in the door back from Port Coquitlam Rod & Gun an I gotta say I LOVE this gun!!!

It loves slugs. To shoot accurate you really gotta have your eye right next to the stock just about, but damn it's fun.





Best $100 I ever spent on a gun!!!

Me and my friend have been wanting to make a bolt action slug shotgun sniper rifle. I was eying up that shotgun when it was on the EE, but decided to wait and get a rifled barrel.

Not sure how you'd scope it...

Does it #### on the bolt opening? Or does it need to be completely cycled?

No need to fully cycle. Just operate the bolt to the raised position then bring it back down.

The cheap way!!!!!!!!!!!!! Muwahahahaha

Cocks on opening.

Bubba's buddy! I was considering a saddle-scope mount, but figured it wouldn't fit...what scope is that, anyhow?

I like this as a truck gun, but unsure if it's a keeper for me...wood's lovely, though.
