The older 500A's actually came with a factory 18.25" barrel... I bought one as a kit in 1989 (for $189) that had a full stock, pistol grip, 18.25" & 28" mod barrels, heat shield, and some other items. Still have it! Although the stock finally cracked and was replaced with synthetic. I shot somewhere north of 20k rounds through it and Mossberg replaced all the internals, free of charge, after the FP housing developed a light crack.
I cut down the long mod barrel to 22" and had it threaded for chokes... was a dream pheasant gun in SD!!
