Hello Mossberg owners,

I have had a Mossberg 500 12 gauge for a while but just bought a 464 Lever action 30-30 so I thought I'd join the forum and try to get some help since I'm new to levers.

One tidbit I like to share about my 500 is that it's a pre-1968 gun with no serial and has a fancy scalloping design on the bolt assembly that a Mossberg historian told me is called jeweled or damascened. I don't know the exact year it was made, but she said they only made those bolts from '64-'70 and since mine is a pre-'68 that narrows it down at least. Also, unlike the newer 500s this has only one rail on the pump, but it works great.

Here is a view of the fancy bolt assembly:

Happy posting,
Andrew

Welcome aboard!

We've got a great group of folks here on Mossberg Owners and the atmosphere is very laid back. The only thing we like better than discussing each other's guns is lookin at 'em, so be sure to post up some pics of any other firearms you own the varius sub-forums. Let us know if you have any questions.

Enjoy the site!
