Home Defense Shotgun

I am wanting to make a home defense shotgun out of my 835.
Short barrel and a better shock. I need all the help I can get these parts are hard to find. :( :? :cry:

Let me know how it goes. There is lots of parts for the 835. Also the 590A1 barrels are interchangable onto the 835's...so there;s your "short barrel".
Don't forget to post up some before and after pix too!


cheers.
 
Re: Mossberg 835 Home Defense Shotgun

A 6 shot should work but it will not chamber a 3-1/2 shell..

The length of the magazine.

Magazines can be replaced easily and cheaply.

Someone out there correct me if I am wrong.

Sent with my modified D2G running TapTalk.

Blackhawk 835 Ulti-Mag 12 gauge 10+1, quick point limbsaver and spec-ops recoil reducing stock with tri-rail, laser, light and bipod.
 
Re: Mossberg 835 Home Defense Shotgun

You are correct. Also the 500 barrel.
 
Hey brucear..I'm i the same boat as you..looking to make my 835 turkey gun into a shorter barreled gun capable of shooting buck shot not just bird shot for home defense..and the occasional deer.And I'm gettin all different sorts of answers.I was just at a gun shop and told that a 500 barrel will not work on a 835 due to the 835 being overbored..yet on line a see people say it will...very confusing.If your JUST looking for home defense mossberg does make a security barrel for the 835..100 for the 18.5' and 150 for the 20".Both smooth bore with a bead sight and not cappable of adding a choke to.So its ok for HD but thats all.I need one that does double duty since i dont want a gun that just sits in the safe or closet.i'm gonna be following your posts as well as mine looking for answers...or I guess i'll be selling it which i really hate to do...heck i just got it
 
The over bore in only internal to the barrel. It starts off as a 12 gauge, opens put to a 10 gauge then squeezes it back to a 12 gauge before going through the choke. It will shoot buck shot but not slugs or sabots. The field barrel has a tighter pattern than the shorter barrels. I'm running a rifled barrel on mine right now but i t's had a lot of #00 through the field barrel.

Have you looked around or found anything to help you? How'd the project turn out brucear?
 
I replaced my 28" "bird barrel"on my 835 with an 18.5" 590 barrel.
It worked perfectly.

I also have a Kel-Tec KSG. So I have a pair of HD weapons for use.

Welcome to the Mossberg Owners Forum rb288 !!

Looks like a pair to be dealt with...!!

Make sure you post that Kel Tec KSG pic in the Kel Tec thread and let us know a little more about it !!

Thanks...
 
I know this thread is somewhat old but I had to comment and say you've got a great looking 835 there. I've been considering one myself. I like the idea of having the capability to use 500, 590 and 835 barrels. Not to mention the ability to shoot 3 1/2 shells. Even though I likely never will.
 
3-1/2" shells let you know where your shoulder is when you squeeze the trigger. Unless you have a Spec ops stock..then it's just like getting hit with a bag of marshmallows.
 
I'm back to my 24 inch rifled barrel with the Williams fiber sights still with my modified magazine for a 9+1 with the spec-op recoil reducing stock and Limbsaver butt pad, light and laser. Still my first go to gun for something outside the ranch house. One of the most versatile 12 gauges out there.
 
Holy s**t!!!!!!! Does that mean I can put a Mossberg 500 18" stand-off barrel on my 835??????? Then I will add the Phoenix Tech skull stock and fore end. Let me ask this.....The ATI AR stock and fore end will require that I buy a new slide assembly right? The wood fore end is a complete component....correct?

Would like to know this as well!
 
835 and 590 barrels are interchangeable.

The only exception to this are the 500 breacher barrels (actually 590/590a1 barrels). These barrels use a 590 lug and mag tube cap, so yes you would be able to use the 18" breacher/stand-off barrels on your 835...
