Frequently Asked Questions
Mossberg 500 20 Gauge for sale
What is the price of the Mossberg 500 20 gauge?
Mossberg 500 20 gauge shotguns typically cost around $459 on our marketplace. Most listings fall between $315 and $679 depending on barrel length, stock type, and condition. We track 37 variants across 28 retailers, with 29 currently in stock.
What are the common problems with the Mossberg 500 20 gauge?
Broken safeties rank among the most common failures, as the plastic does not hold up well over time. Weak ejection also occurs, with spent shells sometimes sticking halfway out. Magazine tube spring wear and occasional slide lock issues appear too. All involve inexpensive parts. Overall reliability remains solid for the platform.
Is the Mossberg 500 20 gauge any good?
The Mossberg 500 20 gauge is a reliable, well-regarded shotgun. It's lightweight, easy to handle, and works well for hunting, sport shooting, and home defense. Recoil is milder than a 12 gauge, making it approachable for smaller-framed shooters. Pricing typically starts around $400, offering solid value.
What choke tube for Mossberg 500 20 gauge?
Mossberg 500 20 gauge shotguns use Accu-Choke tubes. Compatible aftermarket options include Carlson's and JEBS. Verify your barrel accepts interchangeable chokes before purchasing. For turkey hunting, use Full or Extra Full constrictions. Most choke tubes cost $15–$30 each.
What is the lifespan of a Mossberg 500?
With proper maintenance, a Mossberg 500 can last several decades under normal use. However, the cast aluminum receiver can develop cracks under heavy use, and parts may begin failing before 20,000 rounds. Regular cleaning and part replacement—typically the extractor or action bars—will maximize its lifespan, but heavy use has real limits.
How many shells does a Mossberg 500 20 gauge hold?
A Mossberg 500 in 20 gauge typically holds 5+1 rounds—five shells in the magazine tube and one in the chamber. Some variants accommodate six in the tube, but 5+1 is standard across most 20 gauge models.
Does Mossberg make a 20 gauge tactical shotgun?
Yes. Mossberg offers 20 gauge tactical options, primarily the SA-20 Tactical with a 20-inch barrel and ghost ring sights. The 500 series also includes tactical variants in 20 gauge, with prices typically around $459 and ranging from $315 to $679 across major retailers.
What ammo is best for the Mossberg 500?
Mossberg 500 shotguns handle birdshot, buckshot, and slugs in 2.75" and 3" shells. Match ammo to your purpose: birdshot for birds and clays, buckshot or slugs for larger game or home defense. Your choke tube affects pattern density. Consult your manual for model-specific restrictions.
Can you put a pistol grip on a Mossberg 500?
Yes, Mossberg 500 shotguns accept aftermarket pistol grips. Hogue OverMolded Tamer grips are a popular option. Note that a full pistol grip stock can make the tang-mounted safety and action release button harder to reach during operation.
What is the 20 gauge Mossberg 500 youth model?
Mossberg's youth model is specifically called the 500 Bantam or 500 Super Bantam — a compact pump shotgun featuring an E-Z Reach forend for easier cycling, a stock 1 inch shorter than standard field models, and a smaller grip. Available in 20 gauge and .410, prices start around $459.
Why is the Mossberg 500 so popular?
Mossberg 500s combine reliability, simplicity, and affordability. The pump action is durable and easy to maintain. With 37 variants across hunting, defense, and sport shooting, they suit nearly any shooter. Typically priced around $459, they deliver proven performance at a reasonable cost.
Can you change the barrel on a Mossberg 500?
Yes, Mossberg 500 barrels swap easily in under a minute. Unscrew the magazine cap, slide the barrel off the magazine tube, and install your replacement barrel. Ensure compatibility with your specific 500 variant, as some tactical models use different takedown systems. Standard field and hunting barrels interchange readily.
Is a Mossberg 500 good for turkey?
Yes, the Mossberg 500 works well for turkey hunting. The dedicated Turkey model has a 22-inch barrel suited for close-range shots. Standard 500s accept aftermarket turkey barrels. The reliable pump action, tight choke compatibility, and affordable price make it a practical option.
