Re: What is this type of barrel called?
LOL! Copy that. Sadly that ship has sailed. I mentioned I bought it used but not that I bought it cheap. So at this point with the stock, rails, heat guard and a new soft case for it I've invested over twice what I paid for it. So no complaints about a few improvements. Within reasonable limits.
Over the years I've found a lot people buy motorcycles and guns for the same reason. A lark, a complusive urge, or just a plain impulse to own one. I've bought 25 year old bikes with less than 500 miles on them. The owner of this gun still had half of the first and only box of shells he bought. At least he cleaned it before he put it back in the closet. I wasn't as surprised at the price he offered it to me for as much as I was by the condition it was in. Not far from new. He just wanted to be rid of it. No use for it.
Both seem to get set aside for the same reasons. More than they could handle, lost interest, no time for it, or the all time favorite, the SO said it goes or I do. Some times it amazes me how many SO's are still around.
Just got to keep an eye open for things to pop up.

Re: What is this type of barrel called?
Roger that!
You're in the clear then. I forgot to mention that used guns are exempt from the rule.
Some of my most prized and rare firearms were bought used from folks that either didn't know what they had or just needed the quick cash. I make a point to stop by my local shops on a regular basis, 'cause you never know what's gonna show up under the glass from day to day...

Is it designed to be placed on the door frame like on this video?

New Gun Process?
All,
I am picking up my 500 on Thursday. Can't Wait. I have seen the great video on taking apart, cleaning, and reassebmly of the 590A1. After some reading, I have seen some mention of "Burs" on some of the parts that need to be cleand/filed/polished. There was no mention on which parts though, only that they were stamped at the factory. Can anyone provide a list of the parts to look out for, or provide pictures? Thank You
Frank

Re: New Gun Process?
Chances are you shouldn't have to do anything but clean and oil.
What you can check for during the detailed cleaning are all the parts in the receiver. Cartridge stop and cartridge interupter, shell lifter, bolt slide... I have yet to notice anything on any of mine and most all surfaces will be polished and deburred with use.

Re: What is this type of barrel called?
it feels a little wider than the stock in your hands but not that you can not get a good hold on it either .

Re: 20 Gauge Security Barrel For 500
I have an 18 1/2" security barrel 12ga that I throw on for HD. If I shoot Skeet with it, I have to hold under the birds. The barrel just shoots HIGH. None of my other barrels do this.
I shoot a lot of Skeet with my 500's.kris7047th said:

Re: how do you know the correct LOP
It's more a matter of comfort than a precise measurement.
If you feel like you're having to reach for the pump with your forward hand, then you may need to shorten the length of your stock. If it's comfortable as is, then you're good to go...
