Just got a new mossberg 590 and am loving it, as far as a shotgun for home defense and fun... I dont think you can beat it.
However I took it out to a buddy's house and we did a little skeet shooting... there was much to be desired. Basically the 590 sucks for skeet shooting past 25 yards or so (aside from the fact that it holds a ton of shells).
I am wondering if it is possible to put a field barrel with a choke on the 590... I do realize that the big mag tube would have to go too, but I am okay with that as long as it's not a permanent deal. I was thinking I could find a used model 500 or 835 barrel & mag tube and just swap out whenever I want to skeet shoot or hunt. I have taken the barrel and mag tube off of the 590; its shockingly easy, they both just twist off... no tools required. I figured the other mossberg shotguns would be the same way and i could swap part without any modification to the receiver..
Anyone know if these part are interchangeable?
