Re: porting Porting a shotgun will reduce the muzzle climb and muzzle flash. Rossignol has posted a couple videos of some test shooting he did. It is amazing how the muzzle climb is almost eliminated and the muzzle flash reduced.

I work for Vang Comp. We've installed our sights on NUMEROUS 590s. The predrilled & tapped holes on the receiver do not line up with the screw holes in our sight however.

On some shotguns, you'll actually see a step, or abrupt taper. Others use a gradual taper, to form the forcing cone. If you were to use a bore gauge, you would see it. Mossbergs are known for their rather generous bores. We don't get as much "meat" from them when we bore them.

Yep, 16. They bought 16 and are going to send us more to work on.

Here's the deal. These are used barrels, but they're in good shape. Ordinarily the VCS with Ports on your barrel is $255. The Oversize Safety is $35, the Stainless Steel Follower is $22. That's $312 plus shipping. For $195 you'll get a barrel with VCS & Ports, the Safety and Follower plus...

We've got barrels for sale!! Mossberg 500 18" or 20" with VCS and Ports. PLUS a VCS Mossberg Safety and Stanless Steel Follower all for $195.00 plus shipping.

The bolt is Blued, from the factory. This is how the Basic gun will be. If a customer wants to, they can upgrade. Of course, it would cost more.

We're now building a Basic Home Defense Shotgun, based on the Mossberg 500. https://vangcomp.com/Sales-Specials_SPBT.html

Vang Comp Systems is having a June sale. VCS, with ports, on your barrel for $195 (regularly $255) plus shipping. VCS without ports for $150 (regularly $200) plus shipping. Sale ends July 4th.

Brand new 930s have the Vang Comp Safety on them. Not sure what screw they are using on them though. We've been shipping safeties to them for about 6 weeks now.

Yep, either one works. :)

I talked to some friends from Ruger once, about availability of certain models. They said, they would build xxxx of one model, then switch the line to build xxxx of the next model (Blackhawks & Vaquers) So, dealers would run out of one model, while the other model was being built. It just...

Saltmarsh, give me a call at Vang's. We'll talk.

IF you are going to do this, be sure the base of the round is fully encased by the jacket. If it is not, you could blow the core of the round out of the jacket, lodging the jacket in your barrel. Bad things will happen when you fire the next round. I knew a guy who was a reloading moron. He was...

Consider yourself lucky if the sights are on straight.
