I just bought the mossberg 500 combo from Big 5 and the gun came with an 18.5 inch security barrel with cylinder bore choke and a 28" vented rib barrel with an accu-set choke. I'm currious if this accu-set choke barrel is an interchangeable choke barrel or not, because the end of the barrel has no threads on it so how would the choke be installed/attached when there is no threads. Thanks for any help you can give me.:confused:
 
Are you talking about the 18.5" bbl using the chokes? If so then you would need to tap the barrel to accept the choke tubes.
 
No, I know the 18.5" barrel in just an open bore barrel with no choke but the 28" barrel is susposed to be a barrel that uses accu-set chokes but there is no threads on the end of the barrel and it didn't come with a choke wrench. I'm assumeing I got a 28" barrel that doesn't accept chokes even though it says its susposed to, but I didn't know if there was some other way they attached the choke to the barrel (like a collet) instread of using threads.
 
I bet it is a fixed mod choke...that is what Big5 had. Where did you see it saying it was accu-choke?
 
If it is like the one I just picked up, it is the 500 with a 28inch vented barrel, it comes with three accu chokes... Imp, mod and full. If you are lookin for more chokes they all take accu-choke...hope this helps.
 
I was mistaken, I thought i had read somewhere that it had a 28" vent rib barrel that accepts accu-set chokes but I checked on the box again and it says the 28" barrel is a fixed mod choke. I can remember where I got the idea that the barrel woudl accept chokes. I know on Mossbergs website they dont sell a replacement 28" barrel with a fixed choke so I may have got it from there while doing some pre-purchase research.
 
Exactly, mee too, I got suckered into the same thinking. I even had the idea that the riot barrel came with a heat shield.

wishful thinking.

It's a good setup regardless and a great deal with the combo package.
