Finally... A Shotgun

[champu]

Recently added a 12 gauge to my collection. This is my first shotgun. Got it from a fellow Calgunner. I reckon no respectable gun collection is complete without a shotty

It was between a Remington 870 and Mossy 500. After some research, I decided on the Mossberg. The one I got is a Persuader with a 18.5 inch barrel.

Looking to pick up a 28" vent ribbed barrel. If anyone happens to have one for sale, feel free to shoot me a PM.

The top photo is discomforting to look at... I think that means it's working.

I don't think the mossberg 500 accepts mag extensions

also, are you looking for removable chokes on the 28" barrel, or fixed mod?

my 28" probably will never get used... It is a vent rib, but does isn't threaded for chokes

Yes, just something basic, fixed mod. Maybe I'll try some casual clay shooting.

make sure the 28" barrel will fit with your existing mag tube. It might be tough to find one that fits the five shell tube. Most sporting guns are 4+1. If you have to buy a new mag and tube it's probably worth the extra $100 for a second gun. I've shot plenty of clays with an 18.5 barrel. You get a few looks, but it's just as fun if you aren't competing.

If you want to shoot clays, you want screw in chokes.

Pure FUD. 500s come in two lengths- 7+1 and 5+1. There is no 4+1 Mossberg 500. 590s com in 5+1 and 8+1.
