The choke on a standard Mossberg 500A 12-gauge shotgun is a constriction at the end of the barrel that controls the spread of the shot as it exits. This allows for greater accuracy and effectiveness at varying distances, with different choke options available such as improved cylinder, modified, and full. The choke can be either fixed or removable, depending on the model and configuration of the shotgun. Proper selection of the choke can enhance performance for specific shooting scenarios, such as hunting or clay shooting.
If you have a 500, and it is a 12 gauge, it is a 500A. The "A" designates it as a 12ga. A 500B is a 16ga, a C is a 20ga, and an E is a .410.
Yes, it is. The 600AT was simply sold under the New Haven name instead of the Mossberg brand. It's a Mossberg 500A (12 gauge) intended for targets and hunting (long barrel and great wood). All Mossberg 500 parts fit it.
I have sold a dozen of them in good condition from $125.00 to $175.00.
There is no difference. A 500 is a basic Mossy 500 receiver shotgun. Unless the gauge is stated, it's assumed it's a 12. The 500A is simply stating it as a "12 gauge" 500 in its name. The Mossy 500A is a 12 gauge model 500, the 500B is a 16 gauge model 500, the 500C is a 20 gauge etc. There was no 28 gauge so there is no 500D, contrary to many sources, so the next one was the .410 called the 500E. A 12 gauge model 500 and a 500A are the same gun.
