I am from the Northeast part of the state. I own Winchester and Remington shotguns. Had a Mossberg 410 when I was a kid. Once a month out close to where I live they have a large farm auction, they auction off guns also. I acquired a 500 ATP8 made around 1980, pretty sure it was in law enforcement considering wear and marks on stock from long wear in a rack in a vehicle. I like the gun it has some stories to tell. It needs a little TLC to get it back in proper operating condition. I want to try to keep and repair existing parts if I can. Definitely keeping all scratches and wear marks as is, kind of it's badge of honor.
