Finally got a response from Mossberg. I sent them all the info... S/N, model #, pics of box label, when/where I bought it, tons of various pics, etc. etc. I asked if it had the heavy walled bbl or not, and the grade of the alum receiver.
And the response (with my original email quoted below their response)...
"Due to export regulations, we can't export any 14" shotguns."
Seriously. W...T....F. Smokin some weird stuff over there or whaaaaa. :roll:
