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.
Ha! (youngster:) I got mine for $79
