I've been debating getting the 18.5" barrel for my 500. I have the 28" AccuChoke barrel and 24" rifled barrel currently. I've tried doing a search, but haven't been able to find anything. When looking for the 18.5" barrel online, I've seen it stated that it is 3". Can it take 2 3/4" shells, too, or just 3" shells? I've got 2 3/4" shells currently.

just as long as it is NOT a 18.5 breacher barrel.

Are the breacher barrels restricted to 2 3/4" rounds?

no,they have a different mounting lug and mag tube like the 590's.
 
Re: 18.5" barrel shell size - 3" only?



after looking around i was wrong about the 18.5 breacher barrels.
mossberg does make them for the 500 config.

combo a 20 or 18.5?

http://www.cabelas.com/product/Mossberg ... l+Products

I was looking to get the field/security combo a few days away but wanted to read a little bit more. I was under the impression the breacher was a 18.5 not a 20? or does the breacher make it 20?

Anyways, when not hunting I was planning to get a side folding ATI stock and mag extension for it until I started reading the mag extension issues.

For tricking out a HD gun while wanting a bird gun a few months out of the year will the 590 6 shot with a 835 barrel be a better option? Thanks in advance.

1. no just 18.5
2. don't know
3. that could work.
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

The issue with #3 above is that there are no 6-shot 590's.

Your only option in a 6-shot is going to be a 590a1. If the 590a1/835 set-up is the way you want to go, you could pick up an 835 Waterfowl (model #66720 - matte blue) as your base platform and add an 18.5" 590a1 barrel for HD. This way you have a shotgun with more chamber versatility capable of accepting 2-3/4" & 3" shells with the 590a1 barrel and also 3-1/2" shells with the 835 waterfowl barrel. Not that 3-1/2" shells are a must have for bird hunting, but just wanted to throw the option out there...
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

So assuming I go the 835 for main gun with purchasing a sock, mag extension, and 590 barrel is there anything I should know? Anything that won't match up? Walmart usually has turkery 835 in stock. I don't care if it's part camo and black etc as long as I can get the amount of rounds I am wanting when making it a HD gun. I don't see the 590 barrels as available as other shottys but I would ideally like 7+1 rounds with a breacher barrel ATI stock and obviously the hunting part could be the 28 or even 24 inch barrel turkey model assuming chokes could change out of that barrel
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

Everything should fit just fine.

You can call Mossberg sales and order the 18.5" breacher barrel direct from them. It'll likely be around $150. Just make sure to specify that it's for the 590/835 style mag tube...

Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

Thanks for all the replies. I have decided on model 835 #62438 but cant find this combo anywhere. I don't need the 24" barrel but do want it in mossy oak break up infinity with the 28". Thoughts?
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

My searches didn't turn anything up either, but I'll keep my eyes open and let you know if I see one around anywhere...
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

It's times like these I really wish someone would make me look like an idiot and find it immediately. I guess I could always break down and buy a mossy oak break up infinity model and order the 28" barrel seperate? Then sell the barrel that comes with it ? A lot of effort
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

Guess that would work too.

These days it's get'n hard to find a lot of things...

Thank you very much. Is there somewhere you go to see all the availability and compatibility of barrels to receivers? Etc I googled and searched 590 barrels and didn't come up with a list as I did with the other models.

I just made a Guns America account to maybe purchase a MOBU infinity 28" barrel. They seem like gun broker which I don't like so not sure yet. They only want 180 shipped though

Yeah I assumed by the shelves I see around, putting my AR project on hold for a shotgun project was a better choice.
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

I was reading and I am seeing people posting about a 835 18.5 barrel? Is this a possible misinterpretation on their part?
 
Re: combo a 20 or 18.5?

I saw a place and I can't find it in my history that was a breacher for 835 and said handled 3 n 1/2. I was going to post thinking it was a typo. The breacher above in google says its for a 500?
