I am tired of trying to help out my father in law. He has asked me to locate , in his words, " get me a Mossberg or Remington shotgun. I want wood stocks, a ribbed barrel, and a barrel that is super-long" His intended quarry is Atlantic ocean open water ducks.
I have tried to tell him that with the advances in ammo these days, that a 28" barrel with an extra full choke will do what he wants, but all his buddies use those old 36" barrelled, single shot shotguns. He believes that unless the barrel is 36", that all his shot will be done before 30 yards, and he will just be shooting for nothing. He is 67, an "OLD SCHOOL NEWFIE" that has fished his entire life. His hands and face are so weathered that they do double duty when we run out of sandpaper. I am just not finding the words to tell him that getting a PUMP ACTION with a barrel longer than 30" will be next to impossible to do. (especially when he wants the other options with the gun also :mad:
Does anyone know if its possible to find a long barrel that will fit either a Mossberg 500 or Rem 870? I am gonna wait until I find him a long barrel first, then purchase the gun that fits the barrel after.................(or at the same time if possible!!!!, but I'm prepared to buy a barrel first if I can find one. )
Please let me know what my chances are of finding him a longer than 28" barrel that I only seem to be able to find.
AND IF YOU HAVE A LONG BARREL FOR SALE , PLEASE , PLEASE , Let Me KNOW

He wants a Mossberg 500A Regal. Factory 38" 2-3/4"-3" Full Choke. Wood stocks. NO vent rib. Probably as good as it gets.

Now that is a behemoth! What a gun! The only thing I recall coming in even close to that long was the old Marlin goose gun bolt actions.
 
I'm pretty sure i saw one for sale on here a while ago... It was part fo a set, like, a 500 with 28" vent ribbed screwe choked barrel and a 38" monstrosity. The prce was good, essentially with the long barrel being free. I almost bought it just so take to the skeet club once to shoot a round of trap.

I'm telling you, this old coot, (and we ALL know an old coot!!) is so stuck in his ways, I am positive he's taken a bath in crazy glue
It is nice to even see one of those LONG barrelled bohemiths. I am fearful that he will see this thread and , in his mind, confirm I'm an idiot. (I knew they had 38" barrels for mossy's, but figured the chances of getting one to be as good as my dyck dragging the ground)
If anyone has one for sale, or knows of one for sale, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. (it would be nice to be thought of as more than a pylon by the old bastard!!!)
 
Just tell him no, they're gone, don't exist anymore. Tell him that if they were worth a #### in the beginning they would still be around. If that fails tell him it was all my idea, then buy him an 870.

Worse than a pylon, you're molesting his daughter. Be glad he hasn't drowned you yet!

I just had a thought...I wonder if Dlask could make you an obscenely long barrel for an 870? After all, they make stubby barrels...why couldn't they make a long dangly but one? It might be a bit pricey but at least it might lever you up a notch given the things you've done to his little girl. Might be worth the investment with a cold dark winter upon us.

Might be a long shot (pun obviously intended), but Dlask manufactures short barrels for the 870... perhaps they would make you a crazy long one?
