Sorry, I know that sounds ridiculous, but I need some help from anyone out there has a factory 18 1/2" Mossberg. I got a deal on an extra barrel for my 500A and would like to cut it down for use as an HD gun. Problem is I'm not sure what's legal with this thing. It's a 28" barrel, no rib, bead sight. I measured back 9 1/8"from the muzzle and marked the barrel, which should leave me 18 7/8", but when I re-install the barrel there is only 18 1/4" to my mark. Could anyone who has a factory 18 1/2 measure what is actually exposed and let me know? Thanks !
