I want to get into muzzleloading shotguns so I checked out a Traditions Muzzleloadingshotgunand they want about $800.00 plus taxfor one new.



I have a Mosseberg Model 500AB pump gun that I would like to convert. The barrel I want to use is a 3 inch, 28 inch, 12 gauge with a full choke.

I was hoping there was a way I could convert theold barrel into a muzzleoader shotgun barrel. Mosseberg used to sell a muzzleloading rifle barrel for this model ofshotgun.

Would anybody have any idea how this could be accomplished.

The only problem I can see is there really is not enough metal in and aroundthe chamber to thread it, for a breach plug.

As for the choke, I would machine a jug choke - if enough metal.

Am I flogging a dead horse or can this be done.

Your thought would be appreciated.

Thanks,
