My 500...... 18.5" barrel. ATI forend. Shortened factory synthetic buttstock with reshaped recoil pad. LOP is about 11". The light is an UltraFire LED, on the mag tube with a clamp-on rail.
Thanks. About the only thing I'd change is the mag tube/barrel configuration, and the only other thing I'd like to add is a patch of Velcro to hold a shotshell card on the passenger side of the receiver.
Here's my 500. It's very basic and my intentions are for it to be a HD shotgun in form and function. My only other planned addition was going to be mounting a light because I can't always find a flashlight, but I can always find my gun. My initial plan is being challenged by the fact that I branded my hand with the shape of the barrel. A heat shield may be in the works if that happens again.
Here's 3 of my 12ga turkey killer's
Top. Mossberg 835 U-M with a Bushnell turkey scope and a .690 jellyhead
Middle. Mossberg 535 Knoxx Spec-Op II stock with a Tru-glo red dot and a JellyHead .660 turkey choke.
bottom. Mossberg 835 U-M with the rustoeum textured paint stock/forearm. I chickened out on painting the whole thing LOL. Waiting on a choke for it.
I sure do love those turkey guns!!
