Hello. What does the front sight on this model look like? Does the front sight have a dovetailed base?

Michael, the front sight is dovetailed in to the ramp sight post (and replaceable) as pictured : https://www.google.com/search?q=mos+500+slug+barrel+front+sight+&tbm=isch&ved=2ahUKEwigmIWaiZDmAhXdEt8KHZESBDwQ2-cCegQIABAA&oq=mos+500+slug+barrel+front+sight+&gs_l=img.3..35i39.118882.118882..119327...0.0..0.85.85.1......0....1..gws-wiz-img.j_txxm6lyJU&ei=TWbhXeC9E92l_AaRpZDgAw&bih=596&biw=1280#imgrc=fQvXeraDMnYvhM

Is the receiver drilled and tapped to accept a rail?

Joseph, yes Sir, this shotgun is Drilled and Tapped for Optics mounting.

Is this model with just a rifled slug barrel because that's is what I'm searching for . Do not need if smooth bore already have a 12 gauge like that

yes it is a fully rifled barrel see ******Mossberg's 500 Slugster is one of the finest deer hunting shotguns currently available. With a 24" completely rifled barrel and rifle sights, placing slugs accurately on target has never been easier. Traditionally, deer hunting shotguns have featured abysmal triggers more suitable for bird hunting than anything else, but the 500 Slugster includes the excellent LPA trigger. With a crisp break and clean take up/follow through, the LPA trigger will remind you more of a fine bolt action trigger than anything else. Specifications and Features: 12 Gauge 3" Chamber 6 Rounds 24" Fluted barrel Rifle sights **********Rifled bore 43.5" Overall length 13.875" Length of pull Blued barrel Wooden stock 7 Pounds

Mossberg's 500® pump-action shotguns offer an amazing amount of gun for an unbeatable price. The variety of stock, barrel and finish options alone would assure the place of the 500® in the hearts of outdoorsmen. But, of course, its performance in the field goes a long way in cementing its reputation with millions of hunters as well. First and foremost, the 500® is built to the same uncompromising mil-specs as the renowned Mossberg® 590®. Then a host of features are introduced - Quiet Carry™ dual-action bars, 3" chambers and an ambidextrous safety, to name a few. Some models also include factory-ported barrels; the industry's first fully-rifled slug barrel and our Trophy Slugster™. A simple change of barrel and/or choke tubes is all that's required to take one shotgun from upland birds to waterfowl, to turkey, to deer.
