Mossberg 500 "tactical breacher"

to be specific, these are the PGO 500's with the "stand off" barrel. I'm wondering if they have the heavy walled barrel or not and if a Mossberg brand heat shield can be affixed. Obviously it can't if it's the heavy one. I'm building a project gun and need to use one of these or a 590a1. I'd rather go the 500 breacher route because it has the 590 style end cap/tube setup (=mag extension) but I don't know if it has the heavy walled style 590 barrel...or if a heat shield will even fit over those muzzle braked "stand off barrels"...


thanks.

no one knows?

I'll probably just go with the 590a1 then. Does your 500a breacher have the metal trigger guard as well?

Main reason I even mentioned the breacher barrel is because I believe it comes standard on the 500 model I speak of. That model is the only, to my knowledge, 500 that has an endcap magtube like the 590. I'll need that in order to apply an extension. I'd rather do without the breacher on the end, but it's the only way I could add an extension and the heatshield without a lot more of a headache, I'd cave. Plus if it's a heavy walled breacher barrel, it'll be of higher quality than a stanrd 500 barrel anyway.

Dang Mossberg and their 500 million different setups. They do sure make a fine gun though.

I know Mossberg sells them at will for the 870. If you REALLY love that breacher, replace your platform with an 870. Mossberg, Remington, both great. Decide how bad you want it. But I KNOW they sell it. Give Mossberg's customer service a call, and try Havlin Sales and Brownell's.
