Mossberg 500AG 12 Gauge Pump Shotgun, 28" C-Lect-Choke Barrel, 2+1 Capacity
This mid-1970s Mossberg 500AG pairs the brand’s proven pump-action design with a factory 28-inch C-Lect-Choke barrel, letting the shooter dial between Cylinder and Full without swapping tubes. An aluminum alloy receiver keeps weight around 7 lb, while hardwood furniture with early pressed checkering adds classic appeal. Chambered for both 2 ¾- and 3-inch shells, this full-size shotgun remains a versatile choice for field use or collection.

What’s Included
- Mossberg 500AG 12 Gauge pump shotgun with 28" C-Lect-Choke barrel
The factory C-Lect-Choke system lets you rotate the muzzle collar to adjust constriction from Cylinder to Full, covering a wide range of hunting and sporting applications without extra choke tubes.
A plain 28-inch steel barrel provides a clear sighting plane topped with a single bead front sight for fast target acquisition. The barrel is blued to match the receiver.
The aluminum alloy receiver marked with a “J” serial prefix dates this 500AG to the mid-1970s, a period valued by collectors for Mossberg’s rugged construction and smooth actions.
Hardwood stock and forend feature pressed checkering for a secure grip and wear a satin lacquer finish. A ventilated recoil pad and 14-inch length of pull contribute to comfortable shooting.
Tang-mounted safety, twin action bars, and dual shell stops exemplify the reliability that has kept the Model 500 in continuous production for decades.
