No, it is more than that. I would change the barrel, then the stock and forend. I am looking at about $145 for the barrel and $100 for the stock and forend. $25 for the mag tube. $300 when it is all said and done. $450 buys a new gun. The sell my 835 for $200 and it is a wash.
I am looking at a 500 tactical on gunbroker.com that has the same threaded end cap on the mag tube as my 835. I guess this is because it is the new flex system? Now I am wondering if the new stand off barrel will work on my 835. That is the barrel I wanted anyway.
AHHHHH...*light bulb is on now*. Gotcha. My barrel IS held on with a threaded end cap. I can not find a 590 barrel but I am not finished looking yet. Wondering if I should just buy a 500/590/930 and call it a day. Anyone interested in an 835 ulti mag?
Thanks Itsricmo....But now I am confused. Why will a 590 barrel work with the mag tube that is on there but the 500 barrel will not? Would i just be better off cutting the 835 barrel down to 18.5" with the intention of only using 3" 00 buck? Should I sell or trade the 835 and buy a 500 or...
New to the forum.....Hello from St. Louis, MO
SO I have a Mossberg 835 Ulti Mag with wood stock and fore end. I plan to turn it into a HD/Tactical. I have read through a lot of the posts on here and here is my plan.
Mossberg 500 18.5" stand off barrel
Phoenix skull stock and fore end
Will I...
For those Phoenix kits, you will still need to buy a new slide tube correct? The pieces shown are meant to slip over or snap onto a blank slide. It will not work with the wood fore end. RIGHT??????
I have spent all day researching the 500 and 930. Might just sell my 835 as I do not use it in it's current configuration and the 500 and 930 are not terribly expensive. The barrel I want is $142. Decisions decisions.
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...
Thanks....that helps me too. I have a wood stock 835 ulti mag. Am considering turning it into a HD/tactical. Was wondering why I can not shot slugs through it per the stamping on the barrel. I got it at an auction for $230. Is it worth putting the time and money into or should I go buy a...
Nice job. I saw a similar job on Youtube when I was researching for my "mossberg 500"......My 500 turns out to be an 835 ulti mag. Typical wood setup currently. I want to turn it into a HD/Tactical. AR stock, pistol grip, chop, etc. Would really like to end up with more of a stand-off...
