Re: Sawed off / chopped barrel for 500's
I did the same thing to my 500CG 20ga a while back. It was easy. It was originally a 28" now cut down to just under 19". I left the vent ribs too.

No one has been able to explain to me why young men and women serve in the U.S. Military for 20 years, risking their lives protecting freedom, and only get 50% of their pay. While politicians hold their political positions in the safe confines of the capital, protected by these same men and...
Yeah...that's my problem too. Not enough funds to supportmy hobbies. Gun shows do make it tough to be frugal and the Charlotte area has a gun show every couple months it seems.
I hear ya...there are plenty of Glock haters. The 26 is my one and only handgun. I fell in love the first time I picked it up. I bought it without even firing one. I was looking for something I could easily conceal as well as having a fun range shooter. I have not been disappointed. I probably...
