I guess the folks at Mossberg have been watching to many movies.
I have nothing against black guns, even own quite a few. However, when it comes to lever guns, I'll keep my walnut stock Model 94 over anything that remotely looks like the ugly thing depicted in the OPs post. Even though I also own a synthetic stock shotgun my wood stock shotguns are still my preference.
