I got mine for $80 in 1970 when I turned 12 years old.

Bought at Montgomery Ward, 12 Ga. with a 24 inch barrel and a poly choke.

It is still my favorite shotgun even though all my others are much more expensive.

Mine is even older than that. I can’t even remember when I bought it but believe I bought mine in the 50s.

I actually have an expensive over and under, but when I go hunting I drag out the old Mossbert. Why not? You can’t hurt it by getting a scratch on it and it works every time.

I still use the polychoke for different game birds.

And I bought the short police special for home protection. Like one poster said above, you can’t mistake that snick-snack sound for anything else.
