So I bought the 535 Tactical yesterday, and it's an awesome machine. Took it and my 500 apart side by side to note any differences in parts. And in my discovery, the barrels are NOT directly interchangeable. The trigger housing and most internals are different, but some internals are the same. Like trigger, safety, trigger spring and plunger. Shell stop and interrupter bars are the same. Bottom portion of bolt assembly is the same, but the bolt is not. Action assemblies appear to be the same, but when swapped and installed, they are not. 535 will work on the 500, but not the other way around. It will not slide back enough to operate the shell lifter. Stocks are interchangeable as well.
Any other findings will be updated. In this era of parts being scarce at times, I think it'd be good to have a compatibility list.
With all that being said, now I need a slug barrel for my 535. Anyone have one for sale, preferably NOT in camo?
