Mossberg 500 door breach

Post by **Cr0ck1** » Tue Aug 19, 2014 7:08 pm

Ok so i had a customer owe me like 150 bucks and he gave me this mossberg 500 shotgun.

Now i want to put a door breach on it or as it might be called a flash suppressor or whatever different people call it.
Ok this barrel is a smooth bore and does NOT have threading for a choke.

Now i know theres 2 kinds. The breach that screws into the choke (i apparently cant use) or one that im guessing a gunsmith has to modify to install.

So does anyone have any idea how to make it work?? Ive attached a pic if the shotgun and two examples of door breaches i want to try to have installed.

My shotty:

How i want it to look:

And 2 examples:

You will need to have a gunsmith thread the inside of the barrel. Any smith with a threading tool can do it

When I got my turkey gun worked on it was about $75. That was cutting the barrel, rethreading, increasing the forcing cone, and mirror polishing. $60-75 I'd say. Dow arms in Dade city did it, and they took a year.

Got something planned? If you need a driver or lookout I'm available & still have the box of breaching ammo I got from TCR (things have been a little slow lately). I don't move safes or hurt women/kids. References/ resume available upon request.

Having the inside of the bbl threaded, to the same size that would accept choke tubes (which I assume is how they would do it), as well as your door breacher would be a huge +. You could pick up a set of choke tubes & a full sized rear stock (I liked the houge overmolded black rubber one) & screw off the door breacher, put in an extra full turkey choke, or a mod/imp cyl for birdshot/buckshot/slugs & have a short barreled shotgun for 4 different uses. A pistol gripped/door breacher for s/d, turkey, hog, deer shotgun. The problem is that everyone that has changed a pair of grips claims to be a master gunsmith & will tell you "sure I can do that". Threading is easy, getting that threading PERFECTLY straight/true & aligned correctly is where the skill & experience comes in. Dixie slugs (near perry fl ?) has a smith they refer all their customers to for bbl threading, He does ALOT, you could call them.

The original owner James C. Gates (a finer gentleman never lived) must have been severely ill or died a few years back? and yes they did close for a time, but are now back open. I don't know if the biz is still in the family or the same location. But there you go.
