Mossberg Officially Jumped the Shark?

[Qhergt]

I could see the guys at red jacket firearms making something like this. If it sells for under $500 I might buy one just for the funny factor

Maybe this is Mossberg's way of showing the American public that you can put black plastic, collapsing stocks and rails on anything but that doesn't make it an 'assault rifle'.

Mossberg is taking one for the team. I hope they sell every one they make.



I also hope they don't make too many.

Kinda like the R-15/25, showing the AR can be a great hunting platform too.

But still, what the f___k Mossberg.

The rifle was a huge POS without the dollar store decorations...

Then you could tell "stories" about shooting deer @ 250yds, on a full run..FROM THE HIP

It's probably top-eject.

Now I'm gonna go fondle my 1895 and try to forget I ever saw that abortion.

If you look at where they stuck the rails (I know, more pain), you can see that they're far enough forward to allow a scout-style mount where the rear sight currently is.

That's what I thought. Lever guns are always stupid to put optics on, that could have redeemed the receiver area, but no!

Maybe they expected users to put their scopes on the side rails and fire the gun sideways?

Now if they could just remake Gunsmoke or Bonanza, I could see Matt Dillon or Lorne Greene (Pa Cartwright) packing one of those.

Seriously, though, if i didn't hunt in a shotgun/ML only area, I'd probably get one, trick it out to the max, just to see the look on my hunting buddies' faces when I whipped that out opening morning Just think of it - flashlight, scout scope, side mounted laser, bipod, the works.

As horrifying as this rifle looks, you all know that SOMEONE will buy them....

yup , I think is name is Dirt Mcgirt , I could see this modified for the "hood" by swapping out the hand gaurd for brass nuckles or big goddy gold rings.
Then having red dot sights on both sides so you can shoot sideways gangsta style
possible a key fob so you can start you caddy when your done knocking over the 7-11
finnaly the finishing touch would be a pressure switch on the forend to controll the 4" woofer in the stock so you can play your favorite gangsta rap " F$CK DA POLICE" as you 187 dat hommie ( not really good at gangsta rap )

but why - oh - why didn't mossberg but the huge muzzlebrake on like they did on the .22lr and the roadblocker ---- did they think doing that was going to far???

mossbergs new mission statment -- enjoy the humor

Is that what they are doing with all of their other abominations like the night train?...lol

 

[lupothebutcher]

Did someone post pictures of the .22 version? Looks just as bad but has an acctual muzzle brake big enough for a Barret light fifty to tame the massive .22 muzzle blast.

Well the buyers would have to fit in with the rest of their gangster buddies shooting their 'nines' sideways! Its just soo much more intimidating!

HMMM... wonder how long it will take before it makes its way to the lever #### thread?

OK, that's NOT funny anymore! I was just enjoying that thread & then figured I would see what was new & came onto this. I'm not sure whether the .30-30 or the .22 version is worse. Both are obscene!

Funny, but it seems the older I get, the older my firearms get. Not because time marches on, as it most certainly does, but because I'm selling the newer stuff & replacing it with older. All but two of mine now are older than I am (55) & the ones that I still want are even older than that.

 

[CanadaBoy]

I would never have believed that such an ugly gun could be made. I know it's real but I will pretend it was made in photoshop, I'd rather live in denial.

 

[hakx]

I feel like I just walked in on my parents....*shudder*

 

[Landris]

That's gotta be the ugliest gun I've ever seen. I'll take my Model 94 any day over that Frankengun any day.

 

[MTLean]

Funny story, a guest i always bring with me to shoot at the range (he has no PAL) basically now wants to take his courses to own one of these nasty things lol who would've thought!!

 

[Papaclaude]

Depending on the price of the 22, I just might get one. It would be a great non-lethal home defense tool. You point that at a crook, and then you run up and kick him in the gonads when he's rolling on the floor laughing You probably wouldn't even be charged with any firearms offenses, as no LEO would ever be able to figure out what the hell it's supposed to be. Especially if you added some bells and whistles to it.

God! What a hideous abortion....

presented without comment:

Wait maybe this thread should be moved to black and green rifles
