Dad's old Mossberg 250KB with Weaver 330

[spencerhut]

This is one of those odd, sentimental guns a person just had to get fixed and did not care what it cost. He just wanted it back the way his father had it. It's a Mossberg 250KB with a Weaver 330 scope on a Weaver 3/4" mount. It was a wreck, covered in paint, broken firing pin, locked up magazine, completely gunked up action, shot out recoil and hammer spring.
Tore down, sonic tanked, scope lenses cleaned, rust brought under control, stock cleaned and oiled, new springs made, firing pin welded and reshaped/refit.
And it's a shooter.
Oh . . and it's a magazine fed gun that shoots Short, Long and Long Rifle. I actually shot all three and they all worked just fine.
The reticle on the scope did not exactly help in the shooting, but it was good enough I guess.

Nice thing about the older all-steel all-glass Weaver 3/4" riflescopes is that they can be cleaned up and still work.

I think that mag may be worth more than the gun.

Good work getting it back up and functioning! Still looks to be a decent shooter even with that vintage Weaver scope.

That stock would clean up real nice and look great w/ about 15 coats of Tru-oil. There is grain in there you will nbe amazed at when you see it.

I'm sure you are correct. The stock has a light coat of the original varnish on it. I hate to sand on original wood of any sort unless it really needs it.
