Is the barrel nut and retaining ring the same for the 20ga and 12ga? Is there a special tool for removing the retaining ring? If so, where would be the source?
Thanks for the reply. The reason I ask is because I see that Midway sells what they call a magazine cap with sling swivel stud made by The Outdoor Connection and claims it will work on 12, 16, and 20 ga 500's. How can this be? Product number is 150493
I took a chance and ordered the Outdoor Connection part. If it does not work I will return it. When I can compare it to the existing barrel nut on my 20 ga cruiser I will report it on this thread. Will appreciate any other input on this matter in the meantime
They are not exactly the same. Each is the same outer diameter as the corresponding magazine tube. However, I believe either would get the job done. The thread and thread length is the same. Take care. Tom Worthington
