Feets / Collection / My build For the Harley riders
Stoked on how this Harley Davidson inspired pump action 12gauge shotgun came out. A custom Harley scroll design I made, paired with battleworn furniture!

But what if you drop it, is it hard to pick back up?

Heard a guy drop a Harley in the DQ parking lot. He fired it up then, kerplunk. Was sitting there in a tow truck eating a hot fudge sundae. They stood it up and it wouldn't start. I hate towing bikes so I was like "ahhh fuck" they got it going and I didn't have to tow it, thank fuck. DQ, home of the fuck up. Back in the day I watched a portly couple sitting on the tailgate of a brand new Chevy avalanche blow a tailgate cable. Everyone hanging out there was trying not to laugh.

I too have had some weird breakdown tow experiences in a DQ parking lot. Maybe it is a bit cursed

Well, I'm a 4 wheels only guy, so I shouldn't talk shit... But from what I hear it's no surprise the Harley crowd goes Remington instead of Mossberg.

I went through two Mossberg 500's that dumped unfired shells out every time I racked another in. There's been a ton of QC issues at both Mossberg and Remington over the last 2 decades.
I no longer own anything Mossberg.

I still own my 88. I bought it years ago for trap and now I kinda like it so I don’t think I’ll ever be able to get rid of it. It boggles my mind how they were able to make that thing for less than $300.

What's funny is, the Mav 88's seemed to have fewer QC issues than the 500...which from a consumer perspective makes no sense. 590's seem less afflicted also. Who knows???

Gift horses, I suppose.

Most likely.
My 870 was a jam-o-matic. Had to grind and polish the chamber. Should have never been required, but that's the way of it today it seems. I keep that spot well oiled, it's fine.
It's my go to gun. Truck gun, camp gun, track down a bear in the bush gun. It's been flawless and reliable, going on almost 2 decades.

Bummer, sorry to hear that. Did you take a look at the shell catch/release system? I've owned a 500 20" and 590 14" build over the last 10 years and both ran great for me. IMO Mossy has too many advantages (esp for a tactical shotgun) to pass up on. Plus they continue to update their designs and offer modern features like MLOK forends.
I've "graduated" to a 1301 Tactical now. What have you moved on to?

u/Jaded-Juggernaut-244 Mar 12 '26
The 1301 is def on the list, hoping it doesn't make Ottawa's list first.
I moved to an 870 Super Mag that required some love to make it work properly, but that was 15+ years ago. Also, a Benelli SuperNova (14") and a budget 24" autoloader for upland game.
The 870 is my go-to, though.

I feel the same way. I like the look, but would prefer the color scheme without the Harley promotion. Regardless, it looks very well done.

I'm convinced Harley guys care more about accessorizing than riding motorcycles

When are they going to find time to admire or shoot the thing though, they're busy fixing their bikes.

Hot damn! I’ve been looking for a way to show my friends of expansive habit that that I’m into another expensive habit!
Jokes aside and whatnot, that gun does look good.

That looks great, how did you get the paint looking like that?

u/RebelTechCoatings Mar 12 '26
A mixture of different techniques from hand distressed to laser etching

There's seriously a vile attitude in this sub. You posted something really cool that you actually modified yourself. The response? Negative. When you point out the negativity, they double-down.
. It looks great man, you should be proud of yourself. Yet these same haters pat eachother on the back on every daily/weekly "sHoUlD i gEt a 10/22, TM22, SKS or M500/590?" post.
. God forbid someone actually posts a photo of their original work. It's easy to criticize, I'd like to see them try. Your posts and others like it make this sub worth visiting, keep it up.

It’s good knowing there are still humans like yourself left around here. I put a lot of work into creating something, from scratch not copying an idea, only to be torn on by guys sitting on their useless ass.
As Canada keeps getting worse off, so does the mentality and the way most are acting to one another. I get it, a lot of these comments are from guys forced to live back in mom’s basement and they’re unhappy, but being then shittier to everyone else I can assure you isn’t the damn way, nor will make their own situations better.
You’re a legend, I appreciate the comment more than you know 👊

Whoever did that significantly decreased reliability and reduced resale value of that firearm by 50%.

Does it have half the power of other shotguns and leak oil everywhere?
