The 26-inch barrel features a ventilated rib for quick target alignment and is threaded for Mossberg Accu-Choke tubes, allowing easy pattern tuning. A single brass bead front sight keeps the sight picture simple and fast.
The aluminum alloy receiver is finished in black anodized/blued, keeping weight down without sacrificing strength. Twin action bars ensure smooth, bind-free cycling, while the top-tang safety is easy to reach for right- or left-handed shooters.
Checkered wood stock and slide-handle provide a secure grip in the field. The stock’s 14.25" length of pull, white-line spacer, and ventilated recoil pad balance comfort and traditional styling.
Chambered for both 2¾" and 3" shells, the shotgun is presently configured with a field plug for a 2+1 capacity, meeting many migratory-bird regulations out of the box.
Part of the Mossberg 500 family with MIL-SPEC 3443 heritage, the 500C combines decades of real-world dependability with the lighter recoil of the 20-gauge platform, making it a solid choice for upland, waterfowl, or range use.
