I own a Mossberg Model

As I had rebuilt many zoom lenses in my lifetime the ground glass on the back side is what you are looking through on any scope. It magnafies that way to capture the entire image of the frame your focussing onto. Now the lens the nearest to the eye is producing the smallest image and graduate in a larger size each steped up.. Look at the below link to get an idea

When i load the BB in the chamber it just falls right out of the end of the barrel when i point the gun barrel down

Is your hop up unit on? The hop up unit is what keeps the BB from falling out of the barrel. You need to access it and turn it on so it blocks the BBs. Here's a good video tutorial that explains it: https://youtu.be/EYFES6w4jfs

Why does bb fall out of barrel after loading ? is there supposed to be a magnet that holds it in or something

This happens a lot with new BB guns. The problem is likely with your hop up unit - it's not on. You need to access your hop-up unit and turn it on so that it partially blocks your view when you look down the barrel. Otherwise, nothing will be blocking the BB from falling out of the barrel. Here's a good video tutorial that explains it: https://youtu.be/EYFES6w4jfs

What are the common mistakes people usually make while carrying concealed?

As others will probably give you some common general concealed carry mistakes, here are some tips when it comes to carrying concealed in your purse:
  • Do not sling your purse over the top of the chair at a restaurant. The purse, along with your gun, is easily snatched this way.
  • Do not put your purse in the children's seat in a grocery cart. Again, it can be snatched too easily.
  • Have a separate "going out" bag. Many states have laws against carrying in an establishment that serves alcohol.
  • Remove your gun from your purse every night. This puts you in the habit of removing it and putting it back in the morning, so you never become complacent and forget you are carrying it.
  • Before travelling, use the buddy system. Have someone else double-check all of your bags, including your purse, for guns, ammo or magazines.
  • Keep a separate travelling purse and carry-on that your gun never goes in. This will make sure you do not accidentally show up at the airport while carrying.
  • Download the iPhone app, Carry Alerts for $2.99. The app warns you when you are entering a "gun-free zone." The alerts will remind you that you have a gun in your purse.

The buckhorn sight on my 1895 Marlin 45-70 broke off when I turned it down and raised it back up.

A Gunsmith should be able to repair it.
