*SOLD* Mossberg 500 12Ga Blue 28" *ONE OF THE MOST-PRODUCED SHOTGUNS OF ALL TIME*
Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Mossberg 500 (M500) series, manufactured by O.F. Mossberg & Sons, is a renowned lineup of pump-action shotguns distinguished by its versatility and widespread popularity. Comprising a range of models—including the 500, 505, 510, 535, and 590—this series shares a common receiver and action while differing in bore size, barrel length, choke options, magazine capacity, and stock materials. With over 11 million units produced by 2021, the M500 has earned its title as the most-produced shotgun in history. Designed to chamber 3-inch "magnum" shells, the standard model accommodates five 2.75-inch or 3-inch shells in the magazine and one in the chamber. Available in 12 gauge, 20 gauge, and .410 bore, the 12 gauge is particularly popular due to its extensive range of features and applications. The Model 500's ease of barrel interchangeability allows owners to customize their shotguns for various purposes, categorizing them into field models—basic sporting configurations suited for waterfowl, upland game, turkey hunting, or slug shooting—and special-purpose models. Field models typically offer a variety of barrel lengths and finishes, often equipped with interchangeable choke tubes and vent rib barrels, while slug models may feature rifle sights or scope bases with smooth cylinder bores or rifled barrels, enhancing their adaptability for different shooting scenarios.
