i'll give it a shot here. i need a 18.5" smoothbore barrel for a mossberg 500 12ga. $$$ or trade pluggage.

Basspro should have em. they had lots of barrells for rem 870, 1100, moss 500 last time I was there.

having a tough time finding a new one, bps does'nt have any.

I have seen lots of 24" and only 1 - 22" but I have not seen any 18.5". I would not have any fingers left if I was to shoot one that small.

Don look here.

If not,maybe take the ride to Kittery,I'll bet they've got a few used,for a song.

Cabelas says they are backordered and will have them in 2-3 wks

Richies in Westport has a ton of barrels give him a call.

national backorder- they say 2 months. i cut a 28" vent rib to 20".
