I just recently purchased this 500AT for $170. Based on the serial it was made in the 80's. It originally had a 28" barrel, wood furniture and was made to Hunt with. I cut the barrel down to 18.25"(after filing)- The total length is now 26.75"- The weapon itself is in immaculate condition, I added the pistol grip,pistol grip pump , heatshield and side saddle all together for about $90 (mostly from Ebay) Capacity is 5+1...The last pic shows my 1st line of home Defense, there are 3 loaded pistols in the safe for the wife and the safe and night stand are both bolted to eachother and the floor.
Very nice mossberg 500! I really like what you have done with it. What side saddle is that? I plan to get one for my mossberg 500 home defense setup as well.
Its a TacStar side Saddle, I got it in DE @ one of my favorite led spots, X Ring Supply. $29.95 no tax. Man what happened to the PICS, you cant even see half of them???
For me POI is a little low at about 15ft and below, but I don't even think about it any more and if my target is that close I aim slightly high....it is also adj. for windage LOL.
That is very cool, I have seen that on the web before. A friend of mine removed his handle and installed a cheap red-dot it's pretty cool but I think I will stick with the handle ...for now. I believe the one in the pic has a 20" barrel (8+1) and is 30"s OA.
