Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

I was reading a few posts discussing the fact that:

You cannot 100% safely shoot slugs out of a Mossberg 835 (non-slug) barrel, due to the over bored diameter of the barrel.

I am not completely sure as to what the finished diameter is after Aimpro does their "Internal Barrel Work", but I am curious as too whether or not it is 100% SAFE to fire slugs from a barrel that has had this treatment done to it??

If not, I will just be getting threading and porting done when I can.

Yeah man, you absolutely can fire slugs from the AIMPRO barrels!
 
Re: Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

Awesome! I would have hated to get some work done and turn out that I could no longer shoot any slugs. That would destroy me haha :D
 
Re: Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

I can understand that. You'll be good to go and can fire slugs with chokes too!
 
Re: Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

Well I cannot get ahold of Aimpro. 3 Emails and nothing. My only thing is, I would like to keep the price in the same area of $70... For the threading that is.. I haven't made enough funds for the whole job yet.


If I can at least get the threading done soon, I'd be happy. Any leads too machinists or smiths who can thread a barrel are appreciated :)
 
Re: Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

Briley and Americhoke (R&D) can do threading. R&D can do magna porting as well.
 
Re: Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

No idea man.
 
Re: Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

As a courtesy, may I suggest we continue this conversation outside of one of our supporting vendor's own threads?

I've started a new thread in the 500 section here...

Barrel Threading?
 
Re: Safe to shoot slugs out of Aimpro Tactical Barrels?

Ohh That is a great Idea! I sent Aimpro another Email just for the record! :p I am trying to give them the work to be done.. just a little hard to get a hold of them :D
 
28 inch barrel for 8 shot 500 flex

Can't find any barrel to swap out the 20 inch that came on the 8 shot tactical flex 500. This is my first Mossberg shotgun, really liked the idea of tactical and hunting with same gun.
 
Re: 28 inch barrel for 8 shot 500 flex

The eight shot has a longer magazine tube than a std 500. You will need to replace that as well to get a field barrel that will fit

^ This.

Once you swap out to the shorter mag tube, you'll have far more options...
 
Re: 28 inch barrel for 8 shot 500 flex

Welcome to the forums, Loser91!

As said, you will be in need of a 5 shot mag tube. My mag tube may be on the market here shortly. Once you get 4 posts total shoot me a Private Message (PM) and maybe we can work something out for you, if you are interested in going that route for the field barrel.
