i'm sure the look of the Mossberg isn't for everybody. I live on a little spit of land with the Pacific ocean to the west(about 400 yds) and Mission Bay about 200 yds to the east(salt water) so i am constantly working on blued guns to keep em from rusting....with the cerakote job on the Mossberg it's basically corrosion proof. And based on the crap going on in France and the threat "we are coming to the USA" the Mossy is loaded full time now. No kids in my house,just me and Momma(my backup).Anybody that thinks we are a couple old folks,easy targets, will surely find out different.....long live the NRA
