MOssberg 500, 18" bbl and rifle sights?
I saw an older Mossberg 500 in a shop the other day with an 18 or 18.5" bbl and RIFLE sights, much like what Mossberg put on the "Slugster" back in the day. But I never saw a Slugster with athat short a tube, though all of them were 24" guns.
The rear was a folding leaf dovetailed into the barrel, the front blade on a raised ramp, all very neat and tidy. I did not find any choke markings on the barrel to indicate it had been cut and the sights installed later. The appearance was that it was a factory job, but of course, I sure could be wrong.
Anybody seen a vintage, wood stocked Mossberg 500 with 18" RS barrel before???
