Mossberg 500 50 cal?

[Twig]

Anyone tried this barrel on their mossberg shot gun? How is it? Thinking about getting one for my shotgun. Should I or not?

More people have asked than there are responses, but I've heard people say that they work. And they probably shoot good, but there might be some extra cleaning involved depending on how many shots are taken, due to more moving action parts, and I wonder whether or not the firing pin can get sticky over time from fouling residue. I don't recall hearing about how difficult they are to recap inside the breech, or whether they have a removable breechplug for easier cleaning.
A CVA Wolf break-action costs about $140 at Walmart and it received many high marks. And there's also been some good accuracy reports about the CVA Buckhorn which costs about $99 or so.
So there's alternatives that may have more muzzle loading compatiblity & ease. But the most important thing in the end is reliability. A Mossberg should be able to do the job.

I have a mossburg 500 that I put a rifled barrel on for slug shooting. It works great but I think it wouldn't be so much fun to change the cap if it was a muzzle loader. Tract of the wolf has an H&R New England in 50 cal. This is a break open design and is much easier to change the 209 primer on. And they only cost $159 dollars. I am waiting for mine to arrive. I ordered it two day ago. I will make a post about it when I have more to say. But I do know that you have to go through an FFL holder. This is because H&R makes a drop in barrel for it to shoot center fire ammo.
