Mossberg 500 16 ga slug barrel

[noddaz]

It seems Mossberg used to sell these. The reason I ask is because I have a few boxes of 16 ga slugs to shoot. I could sell the ammo or buy a barrel and I know which one is more fun.

I wouldnt buy a barrel just to use up some old ammo. Are you likely to buy and shoot 16 gauge in the future?

 

[noddaz]

That is true. There is that to consider.

What kind of slugs are they and what kind of barrel do you have now? You may not need a special barrel just to do a little blasting.

I like 16ga. Back in the day, my first Two shotguns were 16ga . Back then , 16ga was more common than 28ga .

One of the Ones that Got Away that haunt me was a nice Ithaca Deerslayer in 16ga .

But that was then, this is now .

The question to ask yourself is are you a 16ga collector/ True Believer , or do you just want to use up the couple boxes of 16ga slugs ?

I have a 16 gauge shot gun and was ready to get rid of it as it never got used. Then we had an ammo shortage and all I could find was less popular ammo...like 16 gauge.

That's something to consider and you can't have too many gun options. Keep it and find another barrel. The search is part of the fun.

Was this barrel intended to go on a receiver originally made for 12 or 20?
Otherwise, did they make a dedicated 16?

Yes , they made a 16ga ,it was the Model 500B .

Hi, I would be interested in the slugs. I also would be interested in a 16 slug gun. Can we get more info on slugs, brand, rifled or sabot?

Winchester Super X Hollow Point rifled slugs

The Mossberg 500 I have is a 12 gauge. I was assuming that I could just put a 16 gauge barrel on it. That is a bit of an assumption, isn't it.
