mossberg 500?

mcraig8377 · May 21, 2009, 11:36 PM

i have a chance to get a mossberg 500 wood stocks. sighted smooth bore slug barrel/slugster and a 28 inch modified barrel all for $239.99 NEW is this a good price ? also the barrels are ported.

yes

That around here would be a great price. I have the Maverick 88 which is almost the same exact thing and has been a great shotgun. Take care of it and it will last a long long time.

I'd say it was a fair market value price but not a steal.

That's about right.. I paid $275 for my Mossberg Field 12 gauge new

thanks for the info. seemed like a good deal for what it is. ive had 500s before but not this type im wonderig if it is a different model because the wood is totaly different than im use to from mossberg and the action seems smoother than the others and the sights on the slug barrel seem to be top notch. i stated a price of $250.00 it is actually $239.99 sorry about the error and it also has ported barrels.

That is an awesome price. The wood will be either walnut (not so likely), birch in walnut color, or their new "dura wood" or whatever they call it. the 500 will vary gun by gun on smoothness but some 400 grit on a few key parts will smooth it further

2 barrels and under 250 is a steal for a new gun.

i also noticed the model number is 50158 if that helps at all.

hogdogs · May 22, 2009, 03:13 PM

that number denotes barrel configuration... I am guessing it has nothing to do with the action...

good price

good shotgun.

I've had a 500 now for about 8 years.

It's my favorite firearm out of all the others.

mcraig8377 · May 23, 2009, 06:05 PM

thanks! went ahead and bought it! seems to be a good pump shotgun.

i got the smooth bore ported with sights on it. should i have gotten the not ported rifled with sights version?
