Where to find 18.5" barrel for Mossy 500?

**fungus57** · February 8th, 2009, 10:31 AM

I ordered a 18.5" barrel for my Mossberg 500 from Midway back in December. Unfortunately, the ship date keeps getting pushed back and now I am looking at some time in March. I would cancel the order but I can't seem to find them in stock anywhere. Am I overlooking anywhere obvious in my search? They seem to be impossible to find right now.

I bought mine for an 870 Wingmaster from ebay about 2yrs ago,

but I don't think they still sell gun stuff on ebay, I dunno. You can try auctionarms.com or gunbroker.com . Another idea would be to buy a cheap, normal-sized barrel for it and either cut it down yourself or have a local gunsmith do it. There wouldn't be a front sight, but if you are doing a mall-ninja job or even just a home protection piece it isn't needed anyway.

I was at Cabella's in Hamburg on Thursday. They had them then

I had one on backorder since last year. I found a used one locally and bought it, emailed Midway to cancel my order, but they sent it anyway. I have it packed to return to them for a refund.

PM me if you are interested - it's never been out of the factory package.
