What’s Included
- Mossberg Model 283TB .410 bolt-action shotgun (New Haven marked)
The 283TB configuration brings top ejection through an open-top receiver and a round-knob bolt handle, combining straightforward operation with easy access to the action. The blued steel barrel and receiver present a clean, classic finish appropriate to the model and era.
The 24-inch barrel is paired with a fixed Modified (M) choke, providing versatile performance for typical .410 applications. Its 3-inch chambering supports 3-inch .410 shells, and the 3-round capacity adds practical utility for field or range use.
Sighting is bead-only, with a single front bead and no rear sight, keeping the presentation fast and uncluttered. The action is bolt-operated, consistent with Mossberg’s .410 bolt-action lineage from the late 1960s through the 1980s.
The hardwood stock is a one-piece design with a straight comb, smooth grip surfaces, a white-line spacer, and a ribbed buttplate. Length of pull measures 13.0 inches, and the overall configuration is full-size.
