500atp8 sling

HI all I have a 500atp8 that I am restoring and would like to know if anyone knows the proper sling that it takes.
 
Bert, Welcome to Mossberg Owners!!!

I dont know that there is a "proper" sling for the 500A TP8. I suppose you could use a GI websling? I dunno how far back the 500 variant goes.

The gun is a 500, (A = 12 ga.) and the TP8 (Tactical Police 8 shot I believe) refers to the barrel and magazine configuration, here its a 20" barrel with full length magazine and 8 round capacity. This would be like the predecessor to the 500A Persuader but with all wood furniture,

Is it a 70's model?

So, being that its kinda like a police/duty/riot gun... I dont really know what sling would have been used, but I imagine any sort of duty sling would be appropriate.

Glad to have you! Post some pics of that 500 if youre able! :D
