What is missing from this picture?
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!

Dang It Campo.I thought I had bad luck!Those 3.5" shells hit hard!It could have easily done that if it hit something hard during the recoil.I have a shooting rest that tightens up around the fore-end,and the stock.
Was that Star-dot,and win HV #4 combodoing as good as I was telling you about?

I bought a Mossberg 835 last year and love it --I assume that's what you were shooting since it's in your list at the end of your posts.
I've had no problems in the year I've had mine, but a friend at work just had the side of the barrel blow up on his Mossberg 500. His thumb had to be reattached at the hospital.
I hope Mossberg isn't using cheap materials to cut their costs.
