Where can I buy a shorter barrel for my Mossberg 500 ? it was originally a woody stock/forend hunting shotgun, I upgraded stock, forend and rail to make it like a 590. Now I just want a shorter barrel that doesn't overhang on top of the magazine, I know the USA website has them for sale but would rather buy Canadian.

Do what I did, get a second barrel and cut it. The magazine's pretty long so even at 19" (I wanted to leave room for a recut if it needed it) my barrel only sticks out a little past the magazine. You would need I think around 16.5" to meet the end of the mag, but of course you can't cut them that short on your own, even though it's ok to buy a barrel half that size...silly. Anyway, going from a 30" barrel to 19" made a HUGE difference on my Mossberg, it doesn't even look like the same gun, I definitely recommend it if you feel comfortable with a hacksaw or pipe cutter.
Most mossbergs I've seen had a 18.5 barrel at some point. Put an ad on the EE looking for one. That said, most guys want to keep their 18.5 and don't use the 28" 
Maverick 88 combo gun comes with an 18.5, a 28", and a slug barrel. You could always buy one of those too and just keep th ebarrel you want and sell off the rest. Or better yet, just keep them both
