Mossberg 500 Heat Shield 12 Gauge Blue Shotgun

A: Matthew, this will be a 6.75" action slide tube. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Matthew, Mossberg changed the Action Slide Tube Assemblies to 6 3/4" in 1993 on all 500 pump models, Can replace with 7 3/4" Action Slide Tube Assemblies for between $50 to $100 depending what brand you buy.

A: the new ones are 6 3/4 inches

A: Matthew, the +1 tube extension is here : https://www.thecountryshed.com/02-04-10.html

A: there are no forends that I know of that will work mag ext here thecountryshed.com/02-04-10.html

A: Save the money for training! Why do you NEED the extension and the modified fore end? Have you done any tactical drills with your shotgun to see if you need these or only want them? Pull the plug in your shotgun magazine tube, load it up with 2 3/4 inch 00 buckshot and you will have enough firepower for any situation inside your home. Cosmetics are wasted on a functional tool. As far as the fore end, try out verticals/slant and even the strap type...I think you will find that the factory shape is the most ergonomic. Even the military shotguns have a standard slide. (I carried a Remington 870 for 21 years in the military).

A: This shotgun does not have removable chokes. You'd need a different barrel for that

A: sorry you would need a new barrel to use a choke tube this gun has a 18.5 inch barrel with a FIXED Cylinder bore choke

A: Cylinder bore barrel. No choke tube.

A: You could have a gunsmith machine the barrel for choke tubes... Back in the day, before changeable chokes, it was the only way to gain the interchangeable choke. Buying a barrel with barrels already machined would be comparable in cost in most shops..

A: Matthew, no Sir. This model has a Fixed Cylinder Bore and is not threaded for choke tubes. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Hi Bryan and welcome. Yes but, you will need this OpSol adapter for 100% reliability : https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/36595/opsol+texas+miniclip+mini-clip+for+mossberg+500+590+12+gauge+1+round+polymer+black+finish - This should get you 8 or nine rds in the tube.

A: Hi Brian, it will not cycle mini shells on it's own, but it will with the OpSol mini shell adapter https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/36595/opsol+texas+miniclip+mini-clip+for+mossberg+500+590+12+gauge+1+round+polymer+black+finish , Stay safe & have a great day!
