Moss 500 Persuader compatibility

[SarinZero]

Being relatively new to the shotgun accessorizing community, I just wanted to make sure of a couple things before I started buying parts and installing them. I've got a Mossberg 500 Persuader with standard buttstock and 20 in. cylinder bore barrel and 7+1 shell capacity.

-Will this accept screw-in chokes from 500 Field models? If not, are there barrel options that will?
-Will it take the other 500 mods similarly, like the ring sights?

I been in your postion too. But I decided to get the 590 Parkeized finish with factory ghost ring sight. It holds 8x2.3/4+1 shell magazine, it has a bayonet lug, 20inch barrel and speedfeed stock.

At one time mossberg made a 20" with rifle sights, 28" (duck hunting type) and 20" bead like you got.
I have checked around in the past and only have found the rifle sight version listed for sale in http://www.brownells.com 631-000-314
Barrel, 20", 8-Shot, Rifle Sights, Blue $112.50

and the bead sight on Havlinsales.com

I believe that both 20inch barrel are cylinder bore not sure about the choke 28inch barrel thought.

Also always mention that you have the long magazine tube shotgun when ordering accessories because they will send you part for the short mag if you don't

I don't think so.

If not, are there barrel options that will?

SKU # 90241 should work for you:
