AntiqueDr *TFF Senior Staff* Posts: 2778 (6/22/02 6:15:34 pm) Reply | Edit | Del ezSupporter Re: 12 mossberg / free floating barrel -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I do have a schematic and parts list for that model, but I wont be back in the shop until Tuesday. There is an outer and inner piston ring, a seal ring, and an O-ring that fit on the magazine tube.
