Don't need a roadblocker. Don't need a Chainsaw. Needed a Buster. Bird Buster to be specific :mrgreen:
Yes, I have confirmed it with about 150 rounds yesterday, 835 barrels are 590 barrels (with the 5 shot magazine only!) with a 3.5 inch chamber. The "matte blue" finish is a perfect match for the 590a1 receiver and mag tube. The barrels are overbored so no slugs. And you can't shoot 3.5 inch shells unless you're really sure you can get the job done with one shot, as it probably won't eject.
This is why, despite the derision from my Tacticool friends I got the 5 shot mag. I could have bought a clays barrel for my old wingmaster after getting the 590a1, and kept the mossberg as a dedicated HD gun, but let's do the math. My Rem is a late 70s wingmaster which is 2 3/4inch only and a fixed modified. You know what they want for even a standard weight 28 inch barrel with only ONE choke tube installed? A modified choke at that which my gun already has? Run of the mill, basic barrel is about $250.
The 835 barrel has a middle and front bead. It came with I/C, M, and Full choke tubes, and it's freakin' ported. Now I don't care one way or the other about porting, but it's a standard feature. Cost? Between $150 and $175 Didn't have the chance to do 5 stand, but as a trap gun it's superb, and I adjusted very quickly to the two bead setup.
So don't hesitate to buy an 835 barrel if you have the 5 shot model (or are willing to buy the 5 shot tube and a spring), and want a long barrel. Hmmm? I wonder if they have an 18 inch barrel with choke tubes they don't show on the website?
Forgive the pic quality. I don't know how to take a properly lighted in focus pic indoors
P.S. Anybody want to buy a 30 year old Remington? They were still producing quality guns at the time!
