In your personal opinions, what is the best Mossberg 500 with an 18 1/2" barrel that I can buy for the money, and also for the quality.
I was at my local gun shop today and I was looking at the different versions of them and some of them looked and felt somewhat cheap, especially the 500 tacticals with the telescoping stocks.

Would it be a bad idea to get a standard 500 and just buy a short barrel for it?
Also is there anything to those heat guards on some of them or are they just for looks?
