The shortest barrel for Mossy 500

[bigred]

Any one know what the shortest barrel they make for the mossberg 500 persuader? I know they make an 18'' but wasnt sure if the make a 16'' or not.

 

[Boondock Saint]

Minimum barrel length is 18" for shotguns, unless you're talking about NFA stuff.

 

[bigred]

ok thanks
Anyone have an 18'' barrel they wanna part with?

 

[Grason]

I have a 28" you can cut down

 

[hvymax]

Ingoes might have something to say about the 18"minimum.

the op is asking for legal min. for shotty w/o getting into nfa.

I thought they were considered handguns?

Dont know. Thought he did an aow on it.

 

[hvymax]

Well the question was what is the shortest made.

Youre right about that.

Nothing smooth bore or larger than .500" bore size can be a 'pistol'. Ingoes is doing NFA, trust me I know If a shotgun never had a butt stock, and never will, it can be done as AOW with what ever barrel length you like.

So the short SxS shotgun with pistol grip is AOW not NFA and requires the cheaper stamp?

Unfortunately no. The original gun had a stock, so can not be considered aow . It's stupid I know, but that has to be sbs . The Mossberg persuader that comes from factory with no shoulder stock, or the same style in other brands, qualify to be built as aows

Got to be careful getting a 18 in barrell for a mossy that has bigger because the tubes are diff.. i have 18 in and the tube goes to the end(about 4-5 in longer) then the mag tubes on longer barrell mossys

Sure what you have isn't a twenty inch. Some of the 20" barrel persuaders have tubes that went to the end of the barrel. That is an exclusive model sold by one of my wholesalers, and the preffered model for me.

Your a sick man Inigoes if you plan to CCW a shotty..., but that's my type of sickness, so I have to give that a nod of approval.

I thought they used virgin receivers. Well, shucks.

It's a backup to a .308 AOW

If done on a virgin receiver that would fly, but I don't know of anyone doing that. If i could get virgin receivers, I would do it.
