Has anyone heard of a Mossburg 600? My father gave me one years ago and I wanted to get another barrell for it but I can't find anything on it. Mossburgs website doesn't even acknowledge the model.....

A quick Google suggests its a discontinued pump-action 12-gauge (perhaps other gauges, too). The only mention I could find on Mossberg's site is on this page (http://www.mossberg.com/content.asp?id=508)

There are a couple currently for sale on GunsAmerica (http://www.gunsamerica.com/Search.aspx?SearchText=mossberg%20600), too.

Regarding the barrel, you might ask over at the Mossberg Collectors site here (http://www.mossbergcollectors.org/), or just look around the various auction sites (GunsAmerica, Auction Arms, Gunbroker, etc.).

Good luck.

I think the Mossberg 600 became the Maverick 88, if that's the case, they are a reliable, inexpensive, version of the Model 500....

As for barrel interchangability, check with http://www.havlinsales.com , If they don't know, nobody will...

Don't spend too much on them....I don't think they have any value other than as a functional 12GA pump, my guess would be no more than $140 - $150.

I could easily be wrong but I think the 600 was a relabeled 500 and sold by Montgomery Wards

I looked when I got home from work and on the bottom of the receiver it says "New Haven by Mossburg, then 600ast"... I asked my dad and he said he tried to put a scope on it a while back and he couldn't find a mount that would fit it...I don't know, maybe I should leave it be and start shooting my newely acquired 870....

What you have there is a mossberg 500A. Mossberg made the gun for New Haven with their model number 600 on it. Mossberg made a couple dozen or so guns for new haven with their model numbers having the first number changed one higher or lower than mossberg's.
