Mossberg 500 question

rl356 · 05-08-2008, 07:57 PM

I recently purchased a mossberg 500 from a co-worker. It came with two barrels: a 24" field barrel (modified), and the 18 1/2" security barrel (Synthetic Stock). I payed next to nothing for this firearm ($80). It's in very good condition. I figure I probably got a pretty good deal on this one, but have never owned a Mossberg before of any kind and was wondering what the appoximate value should be.

You got a good deal. normal used price would normally be approx 250-300

In good cond., I'd guess anywhere from $150-$200

$250 minimum.

The extra barrel costs about $100 alone!

Good point Mitch, I forgot about the extra barrel.

I got a better deal than I had originally thought. Thanks for the input.

OK, but you know where I am if you need a few extra bucks.

You have a well proven firearm. I would give it a thorough cleaning
removing all existing grease, dust, etc. then a good lubrication with a light weight oil such as 3 in 1.

If you take care of this firearm it should give a lifetime of service.

I'll be sure to keep that in mind.

Good point JimKim. I saw that muzzleloader conversion barrel on the website today. I wasn't aware that there was anything like that on the market as far as shotgun barrels are concerned. Any of you have one? If so, how well does it work?
