Mossberg 500 3 In 1 Home Def, Hunting & Cruiser 12 Gauge Blue Shotgun

A: Peter, yes, this shotgun combo is perfectly legal in CA. https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/feeds/state_reg/california_restrictions.pdf

A: Edward, no, the finish is "Standard Blued".

A: standard semi gloss blue/black

A: Craig, NO, no 12 ga to.410 ga conversion for Mossberg 500

A: Fadi, Nice copy and paste job-loser

A: Craig, NO, no 12 ga to.410 ga conversion for Mossberg 500

A: Yes. There are actually a few manufacturers that have inserts from 12ga to .410, for around $20. But you still have the 12ga barrel.

A: Jonathan, the minimum age to purchase is 21 years old since it includes a Pistol Grip. 18yrs old if it only came with the Shoulder Stock Sir.

A: the age to purchase it is 18 there is no difference with the pistol grip as it is still a shotgun. You can verify this with your local FFL as he would be the one doing the transfer paperwork

A: Jonathan, Since pistol grip incorporates with regular stock no issue. Buy with confidence if you are 18. That is limit for long gun purchase. Enjoy, and next year you can get your first handgun at 21.

A: Using the Improved Cylinder choke in the 28" barrel should do well with slugs, the Full or Modified chokes would be bad news with slugs. The shorter barrel is just cylinder bore with no chokes at all and the only other real differences besides the length is the long barrel has a vent rib.

A: Jonathan, The barrels can shoot any 12ga ammunition out of 12 ga barrel depending on use or non use of chokes. A non restrictive choke (cylinder choke) will handle any slugs you want to fire with longer barrel and no choke on shorter barrel.

A: Jonathan, yes Sir you can. Just do not use the Full Chock and you will be fine with Slugs. I highly recommend Foster Type Slugs : https://www.budsgunshop.com/catalog/product_info.php/products_id/718005573/brenneke+ammo+ko+usbsl122ko+12+gauge+2-3%2f4%5c%22+1oz+slug

A: Jonathan - Yes, indeed, you can fire slugs in this shotgun. If you're looking for a bit more accuracy, you might consider a rifled coke tube made specifically for slugs - especially if you are going to sue the gun for deer hunting, etc. The rifled choke tube is available for a fraction of the cost of a rifled barrel, and in my experience, after a bit of ammo experimentation, can provide some very good groups out to 100 yard or even a bit more. Here's an article that goes into it a bit. https://www.guns.com/news/2017/03/12/do-rifled-choke-tubes-improve-slug-accuracy

A: You can definitely shoot slugs out of that barrel. I recommend it because it is fun. Thanks.

A: John, from Mossberg -- Barrels with an interchangeable Accu-Choke™ or Accu-Mag™ choke tube system, yes (with proper tubes installed.) However, steel shot is not recommended for older "C-Lect Choke®" or fixed-choke barrels. --- >>>> https://www.mossberg.com/can-i-shoot-steel-shot-through-all-barrels/

A: John, the 28 inch barrel is Steel Shot rated and the 18.5 inch Cylinder Bore (Defensive Barrel) is not. Cheers and stay safe!

A: from what I understand an (read from the provided link " both barrels are fine with steel I understood it as OLDER barrels either select choke or fixed choke should not use steel but Newer barrels both accu-choke and fixed are fine. however you should not use steel through a full choke barrel I would contact Mossberg and ask to be sure Tel: (203) 230-5300 | 8:00am-4:30pm Eastern
