Mossberg 500 Questions

danrp · October 6, 2004, 02:00 PM

Is there a difference between the 500 and the 500A? Are they the same? If not, are the parts interchangable?

Also I have a 500A, 6 shot, folding stock and I don't have the money to buy a new gun. I was curious if i just got a 24" barrel with a interchangeable choke would that be an effective clay bird/turkey gun.

500 is the model type I guess.

500A is 12 Guage
500C is 20 gauge, I belive..
I think there's also a 500E..

here's a good link for you: http://www.thearmedcitizen.com/gunpages/mossberg.htm

So, where does my Model 500ATP8 fit?

12 gauge, 20" barrel, 8-shot (7 in magazine tube plus one in the chamber)... the barrel attaches at a different point than the 6-shot versions.

if you the standard length magtube all you need to do is buy the extra barrels you need, unless you have the 9shot model.

My 500ATP8 has a longer-than-standard magazine tube. That's why the standard barrels won't fit it.

Anyone know Mossberg's part numbers for the barrels with the attachment bolt closer to the muzzle end (than standard)?
