Identify this Rifle or SMG Trigger Housing

[keepshooting]

Hey Guys,

Please examine the next three pictures. I need to identify what firearm this trigger housing goes to. Based on who its from, its likely either for a rifle or an older SMG.

First person who gets it right with some sort of verifiable proof (ie: picture of the gun it goes into, etc.) will get a $25 credit on our website.

It looks like it could be from a pump shotgun. It looks like there a place for the bolt release, and it looks like there is a ramp in the forward area to eject the shells downward. Maybe it is for a pump rifle, if a shotgun is unlikely.

Might be a mossberg

Definitely looks like a shotgun receiver. The left side appears to have a slot for a single action bar.

Why would he post it in the rifle section if it was a shotgun. Looks similar but I don't think it's the same.

He didn't know what it belonged to. He thought it might be for a rifle or smg.

Mossberg 835 has the same ramp up front

Thanks for the replies so far.

Not really sure what this goes to, but I would be pretty shocked if it was a Mossberg piece, unless someone is starting to make Mossberg clones that haven't hit the market yet. I guess that is certainly possible, but with Mossberg's already being so cheap...why bother making a clone.

Will post when/if we find out what it is, but until then the $25 credit still applies to the first person who nails it.

this is a 835 trigger group but its plastic . It looks the same as yours despite being unfinished metal.

I had posted earlier that it was a Mossberg but the other guy beat me to it while I was looking for a picture. That is definitely a Mossberg though, or a clone like the High Standard 9100.

Apparently most mossbergs now have plastic trigger housings. It looks like mossberg sells some shotguns with aluminum trigger housings to the gov't. It seems to be reasonable to assume that someone would want to start manufacturing a steel trigger housing to upgrade what some think is one of the most glaring shortcoming of the brand.
