Mossberg 500 Barrel Fitment Issues- Advice needed
 

I have an older (80's)Mossberg 500 12 gauge pump shotgun w/a 28"26?) external choke smooth bore barrel, which I believe came stock. I have recently purchase an assortment of barrels to swap onto the gun including:rifled slug, field, & turkey. The problem is that none of these fit the gun!

I assumed that all barrels would be interchangeable but apparently I was wrong. Does anyone have similar problems or know the history of this shotgun?

PS- I will gather the model information soon.

I got my first 500 from my dad back when I was 16 (1990-91). I bought a 500 at a gun show (2004)that came with 2 barrels. 1 rifled which stays on that gun and the other was a acu-choke vent rib. Long story short I have had no problems with the acu-choke barrel on the gun my dad bought. I am not a gun buff but I have read and heard about a 500 A model. Maybe that is what you have and the barrels are not 500 A barrels. I could be wrong and I am sure someone will let me know but it is worth a shot. The 500 and 500a maybe interchangable. Just a thought and maybe point you into the right direction.
