are you moving the slide back when you do it?
do the barrels get STUCK like they are binding in the receiver, or is something just obstructing them?

I'm pretty sure I'm understanding you correctly and you say you can remove and re-install your 28" barrel with no problem, but your two accessory barrels ( turkey barrel and fully rifled deer barrel) are giving you difficulties. They should install exactly the same( and just as easy) as the 28" barrel. You could also try with the slide all the way back. Its not what Mossberg recommends, but I've never had a problem with it. If that doesn't work take it back to where you bought it.

Oh,and some times with a new gun,with the barrel on as far as you can get it,you might have to give it a little rap on a hard surface,the stock end on the floor or some thing.
had to do that some times with my first mossberg untill it was broke in.

if i recall correctly with my Mossberg, sometimes you had to wiggle the slide between fully back and middle position, and turn the barrel a bit till it dropped into place.
but looking at that barrel pic you posted, it looks like there is some serious binding going on there. are these barrels from Mossberg or aftermarket barrels? did they come with the gun?
you could try oiling it a bit - looks pretty dry. whatever you do dont try and just brutally force it - the Mossberg receiver is aluminum.

If you can remove and re-install one barrel but not the other two, I'm guessing there is something wrong with those barrels. I'm a little over an hour north of you, if your up for a road trip tommorow morning, bring it up and I'll have a look. I have two more Mossberg 500's to compare it to.
