Was it a site that advertised here on ftf? If so, it was probably the same one. There is a lot of luck involved in winning.

i didnt call anyone a goon, i called a group of people that do weird things to guns goons and stand by it.
im one of those men who isnt afraid to stand by what he says. i dont back peddle.
anyone who takes a perfect shotgun after hunting for an inexpensive one, tears it apart, cuts a bbl, and adds 300-500 dollars worth of gadgets to it to make it better, is ....yep a goon. i'll sign that one if i could.

i shot and owned about every shotgun ever made. every comment is based on decades of experience both military and retired. ive watched guys crap their guns out and sell them 2 weeks later when they fired it and realized it kicks like a mule.(goon) ive seen guys wear guns out shooting them. ya know, those guys are qualified to say if a shotgun is good or not, not some ad from mossberg or a post from a website showing how cool a gun looks.
i like any shotgun that lasts. why do i like my winchesters? theyre still shooting 60 years later!!!!!!!
find me one mossberg 50 years old still working.
i dare ya. even if you did, it was most likely because it was sitting unused in a closet the way it was meant to.
you get what you pay for.
all this hype is over guns that are not designed to last. they are cheap and easy to make and pull in a huge profit from goons, so they make even more to feed the craze. it doesnt make the gun good if a lot of people buy them. it just shows how easy people are to be lead around.
people who fall for crazes are crazy. would you rather i say that?
just let me know. but i will not be swayed.
i promote the use of any shotgun where i shoot. you want to bring a 500 or a 870 to my place? fine! i'll show you how to shoot it to its best potential and will debunk all the myths goons were fed about how you must do this and that. i will make them think normal again. brainwashing is a hard road. and most people that are brainwashed are, because they want to be and allowed it. somewhere out here in cyber world, someone planted a seed in your minds and a picture of what you MUST HAVE, got stuck in there.
shotguns have been sitting in corners long before this info generation. and it was mostly hunting guns. why? because the primary use of a shotgun was and still is hunting, and it doubled as a hd gun when not out in the field. but today, (goons) make guns into hd use, then cant use it for anything else.

color me stupid if im wrong. but the color belongs on the ones that fell for the hype and gadgets. its the old snake oil saleman trick thats been around for 100's of years.
hd shotguns.......you just bought colored water to cure hemaroids and dont even know it.(goons)

the companies do! and they thank you for your ignorance.

and one more time...its not pointed at anyone person in particular, its about the whole pandemic of making hd shotguns.

and i am just excercising my right to post a random thought. agree to disagree, but my thought will remain mine, and im sticking to it.

btw...my first student came with a mossberg 500 riot with folding stock, pg, and 18" cyl bore. he hit 13 out of 25 first time out. it wasnt the gun, it was the instruction.

my point is, stop wasting your money on making a gun look cool. its the nut behind the bolt that needs the attention. your moneys better spent grooming talent than gadgets. and i'll sign that one too.

As I said before, try rounding a corner with a 28" barrel, then try it again with an 18" barrel. You will see why people greatly prefer an 18" barrel on a HD shotgun. Personally, I think 18" is still a little long. If I didn't live in a suburban area where over penetration is a problem, I'd go with my 16" AR instead of my shotgun.

If it's more about the shooter than the gun, why are you making a bid deal over HD shotguns?

Well the chiteth hath hiteth the faneth with all this food .
We cough cough brought back all we had but the other tow company on scene got several loads as did the firemen , troopers and leos but they are holding us accountable for it all . Many other details involved that im not going into but it
is not good at all , some big honchos are very pissed through in the fact that the truck that wrecked was BRAND NEW ,less than 10k on it and the trailer had less than 20k , ea package in cargo was worth 60 to 600.00 . Alot was destroyed and squished but they think we are hiding it trying to sell it
They want to do a recount of what was missing ro destroyed so we made one big pile in the wrecked trailer and said go for it big guys , have fun . They are being total asshats about this , I see where they are coming from and understand perfectly but I think they are liberal yankees so there is no reasoning with them .

Anyway , I have a $100,000.00 ski boat here to winterize b/c the guy had waited till the last minute and it has been at or below freezing for the whole week .
Big boy too , 502 chevy in it , cant mess with money .
And yes I think my G.I system is deadly to most bugs but not to milk . My toilet gets choked quite often LMFAO

i shot and owned about every shotgun ever made.

find me one mossberg 50 years old still working.

What about a mostly used-up beater shotgun with damaged furniture getting an $80 barrel and maybe $80 worth of plastic furniture including the shell holder?

Have you owned and shot a lever-opened/breeched single shot Ithica in 20 guage? I have my Dad's in my safe, odd gun.

My ugly ole Mossberg was purchased by me in 1995, but it has the old fixed-choke barrel indicating that it was manufactured prior to 1979, so it is at least 33 years old and working fine. I must admit i don't fire it daily or participate in high-volume shotgunning activities like trap & skeet.

OK, I have to ask. Did you leave a big ole steamin' sh!t on top of the pile so they got what you had for last night's dinner?

They did say they wanted everything, didn't they?

The "white trigger stop" thread not only crashes the app for me, it crashes my whole damn phone. I've had to reset my phone three times today over that damn thread. Extremely odd. A specific thread shouldn't do something like that unless it's pic heavy. Really, no thread should ever do that. And my phone is a rooster sucker (because rooster is more polite than cock)
