How does the choke on a Mossberg 500A work?

April 6th, 2011 by eranio

I recently got a Mossberg 500A 12guage shotgun, and plan on using it for home/self defense. I bought a stock already, and plan on buying a ghost ring sight. When I took it to the range, I was unhappy with the spread I was getting in my pellets. What is the best choke for this purpose for a shotgun, what type of ammunition do you suggest, and how do you go about changing the choke on this style of shotgun?
I want to add that I don’t see any threads on the inside of my barrel, like a nut. Will the choke tubes still screw in without one, or do I need to but a whole new barrel? If so, do you hav suggestions on which kind and where to buy them?

Is it possible to have threads drilled in a shotgun barrel for choke tubes?

November 6th, 2010 by eranio

I have a Stevens 12 gauge smooth bore medium choke shotgun. It doesn’t have threads for installing different sized choke tubes in at the end of the barrel. I heard it is possible to bring it to a gun shop and have them drill threads in the barrel for different coke tubes. Is this true? If so, how expensive would it be to do it?

Does anyone make replacement barrels for the Remington Model 11?

September 10th, 2010 by eranio

I have a nice Remington Model 11 shotgun from the 1930s. Unfortunately it does not have a good choke. I was hoping to find a replacement barrel with interchangeable choke tubes. Does anyone know of any sources for one? I’m not keen on custom made, but it is an option if the price is reasonable.

Mossberg Pump Action Shotgun ?

March 23rd, 2010 by eranio

Does anyone out there own a pump action Maverick shotgun made by Mossberg? I bought one alone with 3 choke tubes at a very good price. The gun is a 12 gauge with a black, synthetic forearm and stock. The man I bought it from told me it’s shoots a little to the left, (4-5 inches), which it does. It has a ventilated rib, with 2 beads on the rib. The first bead is alright. The bead on the end of the barrel is defineatly not in the center of the rib. It’s offset to the left a little. I went to Wal Mart and saw that they had 1 just like mine. I looked at it and the bead on the end of the barrel was about a quarter of an inch long and made out of white, irredescent plastic. I’m thinking someone broke the original bead, and installed this little metal tip of the end of my gun. I’ve owned shotguns with irredescent sites before. Can anyone else confirm that they have this type of Mossberg and that the bead on the end of the barrel is made out of irredescent plastic? Thx alot.

Yeah, mine has the small brass pin also. At the end of the barrel, it has a pin just like the brass one, but it’s black. Thx for all the links about Truglo and HIVIZ. I chatted with someone at Cabela’s, and there going to start sending me the catalog again. Thx everybody that answered.

oops, It can be toxic lead pellets…I was mixed up from reading the manual about chocke tubes that require steel shot.

Can I use Remington 870 Express Super Magnum Turkey Camo shotgun for skeet?

January 3rd, 2010 by eranio

What kind of choke tube does this gun come with? Can I use this shotgun for shooting clay birds and/or skeet without buying extra choke tubes? (I will use this gun to hunt turkey and other birds, but before going out to hunt, I want to practice on moving targets)

Choke tube to use on Mossberg shotguns for self-defense?

November 17th, 2009 by eranio

Assume some of the popular Mossberg shotguns like all-purpose 500 or 535 (they use Accu-Choke tubes), or 835 (uses Accu-Mag tubes). I provide the link to Mossberg list below.

My question is which tube to install for self-defense. You could consider two cases: one inside home, and one outside. I would assume the best would be the most open tube, Mossberg lists "skeet" as the most open. I assume you cannot use all-purpose shotguns designed for choke tubes without a choke tube installed. How come Mossberg does not have a straight cylinder tube with no constriction? Skeet is the most open tube.

http://mossberg.com/products/access.asp?type=chokes&section=access

Another factor to consider is buckshot size or birdshot size. Assume 12ga. I plan to have 1-2 birdshot shells in the front, followed by buckshots with increasing pellet sizes up to the max 5 shells in the magazine.
