What’s Included
- Mossberg 500C 20 Gauge pump-action shotgun
- Installed front and rear sling-swivel studs
- Receiver top drilled and tapped with filler screws
The 18.5 in barrel uses a fixed cylinder bore (Cyl Bore) for wide patterning and straightforward performance. Its chamber accepts both 2 3/4 in and 3 in 20 gauge shells, offering flexibility in ammunition choice while maintaining a compact overall profile. Capacity is 5+1.
Sighting is simple and fast with a brass bead front sight, and there is no rear sight or sighting rib. The receiver top is drilled and tapped and fitted with filler screws, giving you factory-prepped mounting points if you choose to add compatible accessories.
The control layout includes Mossberg’s tang-mounted safety for ambidextrous operation. The black synthetic stock is fixed and capped with a ventilated recoil pad. Length of pull is 13.75 in. Front and rear sling-swivel studs are installed for easy sling attachment.
Construction combines a blued steel barrel with a black alloy receiver. The magazine tube is the standard 5-shot length that terminates at the barrel lug—several inches short of the 18.5 in muzzle—and uses a standard knurled cap. This 500-series 20 gauge is U.S.-made and configured for dependable, no-frills function.
Key chambering note: 3 in Chamber (also accepts 2 3/4 in shells). Bore: Fixed Cylinder Bore.
