Markbrowning Posted January 29, 2013 Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 Hello all, Has anyone on this forum got a 12g 24" vented barrel on their Mossberg 500? If so, where did you get it from, how much and do you have any pictures to post up for me? Many thanks in advance Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Give these guys a call, they're the UK importer... http://www.saddleryandgunroom.co.uk/gunroom/sg_shotguns_mossberg.php I spoke to them recently about a new barrel for my 500 and was quoted around the £200 mark.

jackinbox99 Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 I was looking for one for my mossberg 500 .410 and it worked out nearly the same price as buying another entire pump action shotgun 2nd hand. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatuveradanikto Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Hi I have a 24 inch non vented barrel and a 28 inch vented and ribbed barrel ,i'm not sure they make a 24 inch vented barrel. By the way did you know that browning invector teague chokes fit into the 28 inch barrel.

thepasty Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Whats the idea behind venting? less recoil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbrowning Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Sorry got confused when writting the post, although my 28" is vented and ribbed what I meant to say I'm after a ribbed 24" barrel. I know you can get the 24" slug barrel with rifle sights. However I was after a normal ribbed one. I know you can get them in the USA but haven't seen one in the UK I didn't know that browning chokes fit! Which is nice seeing as I also have a Browning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatuveradanikto Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Hi, Mark, yes hav'nt seen one myself in the UK got a browning as well, Try Midway UK as well they are uk importers for all things Mossberg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbrowning Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 klatuveradanikto - where did you get your barrel and heat shield from and how much?? As posted before I think you can order it from saddlery & gun room but It would be £220 and a few months wait to come from the US. Would quite like to pick up second hand or somehow get it cheaper. As mentioned at that price you can buy something else. I have a hushpower moderated barrel for the 500 as well so would quote like to complete the collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatuveradanikto Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 (edited) Whats the idea behind venting? less recoil? Less recoil i believe although when i'm pumping 62's through it, it still feels lively. Edited January 30, 2013 by klatuveradanikto Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The heat shields are easily available from Midway approx £30 -£40 as for the breacher attachment (which is never going to be used as a breacher tool but i like the looks of it ) i had this imported from King Armoury in the USA.

Markbrowning Posted January 30, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Ok and where did you get all that from, you buy second hand or get from Saddlery & Gunroom? You barrel looks smooth, neither ribbed or has rifle sights? So do you know what you have got exactly? Cheers for the input I appreciate it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klatuveradanikto Posted January 30, 2013 Report Share Posted January 30, 2013 Bought it all from one of the gun trader sites can't remember which one it was advertised on but it was all from a private seller near Manchester . As for the barrel it is smooth down it's entire lenght and had a bead on the end of it not sure what model ,thats it. By the way just looked at ebay USA theres loads of ribbed 24 inch barrels for sale , "Land Of The Free" to right they are . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbrowning Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 I would assume you would not be allowed to put a barrel in the post in the UK or from the USA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throdgrain Posted February 1, 2013 Report Share Posted February 1, 2013 Saddlery had a few multichoke 24" ribbed barrels in stock a while back, I asked them to order one for me about 5 years ago, it took them so long that when they eventually called me to say they had arrived I'd sold the gun I'd give em a call if I were you, you never know.

Markbrowning Posted February 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 Well I gave them a call. They only stock 24" barrels that have a fix cylinder choke which is no good for me. If I wanted a multi choke barrel I would be waiting months and months for one to come in from the USA. They are £220 which is very pricey and not willing to pay that. So if anyone has one they are looking to get rid, then please let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bry-M Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 How much is the fixed choke one they have in stock? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markbrowning Posted February 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 £220 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigman Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 £220 That's more than I paid for my mossy complete , I have the celect choke system on mine not really liking it though would much prefere a ribbed barrel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thepasty Posted February 7, 2013 Report Share Posted February 7, 2013 What dont you like about the c-lect system? I looked into getting a ribbed barrel for mine also but the price makes it unrealistic. I might trade in my old girl for a new synth 500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thepasty Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 (edited) it does look odd, like a huge rifle muzzle, I kind of hate but like the look all at the same time... odd as I say I only adjust if I'm moving through areas that need it, where i shoot I can be in bush/tree type area one minute then walking across a field the next, so I'll open it up for in the bush where things happen closer in and close it up if out in the open where a tighter pattern might be an advantage... but to be frank... I dunno if it makes a huge amount of difference Edited February 8, 2013 by thepasty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scully Posted December 10, 2018 Report Share Posted December 10, 2018 I know this thread is almost five years old, and I realise the OP meant a vented rib, but regarding the barrels, I've always known them as 'ported' rather than 'vented'.
