Just put an ATI HALO heatshield, shell holder, stock and MAKO forearm on this 8-shot 500. This shield is leaps and bounds better than the old ATI part. Still not a replacement for a real rail system though.
Thanks for the warm welcome. I haven't messed with shotguns since I was into three gun many years ago, and some recent upgrades I did to someone's 500 has rekindled my interest.
I have a 9200 that I used in 3 gun right when I quit; I'd like to find a 18.5" barrel for it so I don't have to cut...
This is the 500 I keep in the bedroom. My dad bought it for me as a Christmas gift sometime around 1980; I still have the wood furniture and the factory barrel. This barrel is a 28" VR from a Maverick 88 that I cut down, removed the vent rib, and drilled/tapped for a bead.
It has the Knoxx stock...
Hello all,
Just stumbled across this site a few days ago. Thought I'd say hi and show what I just did in the shop this afternoon. Took a 28" VR barrel from a Maverick 88 and cut it to 18.5", removed the VR, drilled/tapped for a bead and re-blued. It's nowhere near perfect but it's my bedroom...
