Cutting down a factory barrel below 18” is not allowed; it has to leave the factory that way.

How do we know it’s cut? Looks like front sight is on there

The muzzle is unfinished; I’ve seen many cut down shotguns in stores, and I own a 500 that’s also been cut down.

Drilling and tapping the barrel for a front sight is a quick job for a gunsmith.

AFAIK, Mossberg never made any 500 barrels below 18”. 590 yes, but not the 500.

How can you tell that the muzzle is unfinished? I have never seen that cap.

Can you see the shiny flat end of Randy’s shotgun muzzle?

Factory muzzles do not look like that. They are radiused and blued, and the barrel walls are thinner than when they’ve been cut down from a much longer barrel.

I literally own a cut down 500, and that’s what it looks like.
