Well, I was patterning my gun today...sun shining and warmer than I thought it would be.
Was about to get a real good pattern out of the last three choke/shell combos when................










As, you can see, the trigger guard disintegrated, and I could only find one small peice. The cause you ask? My guess is, since I was shooting it out of a rest on a cold day (note cold=brittle) that the trigger guard contacted the rear part of the rest (3.5" Win HV's) and shattered the thing.
Guess Ill have to send it back to Mossberg for a replacement...Hope it gets here in time for the season..I was just getting good patterns too[&:]
Anyway...when you all pattern your guns, do you use a rest, and if so do you butt the back of the trigger guard against the rear rest (I am guessing I will hear a resounding no to the latter part of that question)
Cheers all..
Dont make this mistake!
