I picked up a Mossberg 500 with a 18 1/2 barrel installed and a extra 28" barrel. I noticed the 28" is marked Accu choke and just got to wondering if there is a way to tell which choke is installed without removing it.
Only two notches. I assume for the wrench.If there are no thin notches, then no; take a choke tube wrench and unscrew it - it will laser etched on the sidewall of the choke. Personally, one of the reasons I like extended chokes is because it is easy to tell what is on the barrel.
Yes.Only two notches. I assume for the wrench.
NEVER shoot through that barrel without SOME choke tube in it. There are plenty of folks who make aftermarket chokes; Trulock and Carlson make good ones at reasonable prices. I prefer both Briley and Trulock the most. Wrenches are readily available. You DO need to remove the choke after shooting to clean the threads on both the tube and the barrel and then lube those threads with either some oil or grease.Dumb question. Assuming it is modified, Could a slug be safely fired through it. Make that two dumb questions. If the choke was removed??
