Mine is a Mossberg 183 KE and it looks very much like yours with the exception that, mine has a C-Lect Choke (which always stays on full) It has the internal two round magazine that you load from the top.

I bought it a couple of years ago for $80 in really good condition. It's a hoot to play with. Bad medicine on Squirrel too. Enjoy yours! Post pictures when you're finished with it.

I have a Mossberg 183 D and with the exception of the stock it looks nearly identical. Check with Numrich Arms for the actual manufacturer. If you look up parts for your gun they will show you the actual manufacturer and the parts for their model.

303tom, Mossberg made a number of shotguns under the New Haven name. I have a 12 ga. pump that is labled New Haven 600AB that is a Mossberg 500.

Cool. When I was a kid, I had some sort of bolt action magazine fed 12ga with like a 40" full choke. No magazine. I shot a deer in the boiler room at ten yards with 00.. it died.

40 inches come on now, The Marlin Model 55 Goose Gun was the longest barrel shotgun I have ever seen, & it was a 36" Full Choke, magazine fed, bolt action, 2 in the Mag. & 1 in the pipe...............Here it is, one of my other bolt actions.
