Mossberg 500 barrels, where to buy?

[BucDan]

Anyone know where I can buy a barrel for a 6 round Mossberg 500?

I'm looking to get a 20" all purpose barrel that is choke-able. Mossberg's website doesn't have any in stock.

gunbroker...

I know all sorts of things are made... the 20" barrel length is common with the 8 shot model and 8 shot model barrels won't fit the standard Mossberg 500 in 5+1 configuration...

[hermosabeach]

I have not seen a 20" w/ Chokes for the 5+1- does Mossberg have a backorder option?

I bought one from CDNN a couple years ago to swap with my longer barrel and still have the smaller mag tube. Made in China, but works just fine and it was ~60 bucks. I've killed a lot of turkey and ducks with it. My 20" barrel and long mag tube setup didn't take a choke, and I wanted an extra full for turks.

They are hard to come by. I got a 20" choke ready barrel off Midwest gun works a few months ago. Ebay is a good option.

Ebay: but Hens Teeth tend to be expensive. What you want is a hen's tooth IE: if there are any there aren't many. 18" bbls with Choke Tubes. I have never seen one and I would have noticed. In fact I was looking for an 18.5" barrel with sights to send to Briley to get threaded for chokes ,because I wanted to try it.

I got my 18.5 barrel with rifle sights for $125 a year ago. I sent it to Vang Comp and spent another $150 on it. It works really well.

Now the nice barrels are $200-400+ when they show up. There are plenty of 18.5" barrels on Ebay some are near new,,, others are total ship!

Here's a Ratty one with sights for $250, I think he's dreamin'.https://www.ebay.com/itm/18-5-Factor...IAAOSwvCpgGXOC

Here's a regular one that is stupid expensive at $365 but it's new?. I got one NIB for $95 about a year and a half ago.https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-MOSSBER...4AAOSwLe9gGAOZ

Here's another crappy one with sights for but missing rear sight. $150 https://www.ebay.com/itm/18-5-MOSSBE...oAAOSwcnpgFdcT

There are plenty to choose from on Ebay all you have to do is decide how much you want to spend, and don't be afraid to shop a little because things are kind of stupid right now, and lots of these barrels will never get sold at the prices they are asking. Keep an eye on stuff and if it is on there for along time, make an offer. All they can do is say NO>

I too am always on the lookout for Mossberg & 870 used barrels. I picked a 500 improved the other day at an LGS. It was in their treasure chest. They had another with an adjustable choke insert. They're hard to find. PAX

I'll have a 28" 6 shot, vent ribbed barrel to trade or sell after I find a nice 20" all purpose chokable . Signed up for every notification I can find.

If I can't, then I'll just settle for an 18.5 for HD in a two barrel setup.

[W.R.Buchanan]

Go ahead and settle BucDan because they didn't make a 20" barrel with chokes.

All the 20" barrels are for the 8 shot magazines on the Tactical guns and are cylinder bore.

For you the hot tip would be to cut off your existing barrel, and have it threaded for choke tubes. Shouldn't cost more than $100 for that if you do the cut off and face the barrel in a lathe..

There is a guy on Ebay who does this but he wants way too much for his barrels and when you cut a Vent Ribbed barrel you have to cut it in a certain place which is dictated by the rib and it won't be right on 20". I think some of his were like 19" or 22"

Here's a cut down barrel with Vent Rib and you can see how the muzzle looks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Mossberg-50...4AAOSwuoZgHF-j

Mossberg doesn't make these anymore? This barrel is literally what I was looking for.

I just did the DROS for this gun yesterday.

OK I stand corrected, but I can assure you you aren't going to find one for $228 on Ebay. Anything even slightly unusual is $300+

Barrel costing as much as the gun. Crazy!
