Questions & Answers

• Q: does this model come with a plug to go inside the mag tube? local hunting laws require a plug so the gun only holds 3 shells while hunting upland birds or migratory waterfowl.

• Q: Hello:
  I know Mossberg discontinued their left handed models a few years back. I'm interested in this model, because I'm new to hunting, and Mossberg is a great American made gun. Is it an issue that the shells shoot out to the right hand side if I'm shooting lefty? Long story short is that my question is based around safety related issues if I'm shooting left handed, and the shells discharge from the right. I don't want to get hit in the face with shells.

  A:

  Doyle, You are correct. Prices are going to keep going up. All manufacturers have back orders to the point it may not be back to normal for quite a while. If you see something in stock you want buy it now. It will not get less expensive in the foreseeable future.

• Q: Are all the Mossberg 500 barrels interchangeable??? I have an older 500A with a short defense barrel on it which is what I like. Will it fit this shotgun??

  • Answered
  • Asked 06/12/2020 05:24 by Doyle D

  A:

  Doyle, NO. The 500A made in 1960 with the aluminium trigger guard does have a heavier barrel then the modern Mossberg 500s. The original Mossberg 500 and the 500A use different barrels. If you have a 500A, you can not use a 500 barrel on it, or it's barrel on a 500.
