I know there's a lot of dislike for these but I'm getting ready to put one together and I would like some opinions on barrel length.
I'm thinking about a maverick 88 or a Mossberg 500. I can go to dicks and get either an 18.5 inch or 24 in barrel for under $200. The only place I can find a 20 inch barrel is a LGS that sells it for $240. In my head I wanted the 20 inch for the additional weight to combat recoil and the extra capacity. I feel like 24 inches is too much.
For about $300 I could get a mossy 500 20 inch barrel.
What should I do?
My only thoughts have been to see if Dicks can order a 20 inch barrel model for me.
