Mossberg 500 defense conversion

[augustino]

Recently got a Mossberg 500 that I want to convert to a home defense SG. I want to change out the barrel to an 18" and also magazine to the highest capacity possible.
Where do I get aftermarket 18" barrel & extended mag tube?

Thanks in advance!

I'm pretty sure (since I have several of them) that with the 18.5" barrel you're pretty much stuck with the standard mag tube.

If you go with a 20 inch barrel, you can put a longer (8 round) tube on as well. Brownells sells the barrel and tube as a kit.

I have the standard 5-shot Mossy with the 18 inch home defense barrel. If I want more than 5 shots, I use the smaller 2" long buckshot loads by Centurian. I keep mine standard capacity so I can throw on my hunting barrel with ease.

I keep mine in with standard capacity with 18.5 barrel as well for HD. mostly because I don't think any engagement in the tight confines of my home would last more than 2-3 rounds of buckshot.



Unless their are Zombies involved. XD
