If you go with the 500 series Mossberg, you do not have to buy the JIC package. My recommendation is a M590A1. You can always use a 155MM Howitzer shipping tube to pack the shotgun inside along with 150+ rounds of 12GA. Drill two holes on the outside of the canisters rails and attach a surplus load sling. Now you have both a waterproof storage canister, but also a easy way to carry your ammo in a SHTF situation.
Go for the 590. Added three rounds come in handy. And it's essentially the same gun.

Sounds like a hell of an idea!
Thanks for all your reply's. I happened to be on the North Shore this past week and stopped into Four Seasons. Well, needless to say, Merry Christmas to me, a new JIC. Hey, that rhymes. Oh well anyways, I haven't had a chance to test it out yet, but will update as soon as I do. Again thanks for your time and thoughts.
