mossberg 600at c-lect choke
long shot i know but anyone had any experience with that choke setup
i know the yanks love the mossberg 500 which is practically what it is for the rugged reliability but they're are fairly rare in my part of the world and i im probably gona buy it if i can haggle the shop down just that adjustable choke has me concerned. i meantime must be a reason nobody manufactures them anymore and the info on the internet is sparse. are they trash?

I wouldn't worry about the adjustable choke. You just need to go out and pattern it with a big sheet of paper to check POA - I have a Remington Mdl 11 with a Polychoke. They work - I've got a Moss 535 Turkey Tactical - They are indestructible proven guns. They flat out work and are inexpensive, tough combo to beat. It's like cars - A cooper Mini will get the job done, but they make new Aston Martin's every day
The other answer is, you could get a barrel that accepted screw-in tubes. That is if this one isn't already threaded. Curious what kind of figure they have on it? In the US, it would be pretty cheap.

£225 is what i walked away from it at today. they sit at about £550-£600 new in the uk after import and registration. id give it a 8/10 for condition. ill probably get the guy down as its sitting in a position with a small market of potential buyers and its been in the shop a while. the UK law states anything with a capacity of 3 or less is a shotgun otherwise you need a more advanced licence. its a 5+1 so you need a section one firearms licence and a valid reason to have one with a 12g grant. that basically falls to practical shotgun competitors most of which now use detachable mag shotguns like the saiga 12 gauge for speed so a pump action tube magazine is a bit obsolete.

Ouch....I just looked, and Cabelas sells brand new 12ga 500's for $299 (£225). And that includes 3 chokes. That's a synthetic stock. The wood stock is the same price, but has a fixed full choke. I'm not sure why, unless that's just what Cabelas decided to keep in stock.L3M182 wrote: they sit at about £550-£600 new in the uk after import and registration.
Can you have some kind of permanent plug installed (welded maybe) to get around the different permit levels?

i think you can if you buy it brand new from a dealer and they have a professional gunsmith crimp the gun or plug it so it cant be easily undone, but second hand the serial number on the receiver has been registered as a section 1 firearm the paperwork labour and legal hoops to have it modified to a section 2 would make it cheaper to buy a new one.
unfortunately over here we do tend to pay way more for american made firearms which is a bit of a nightmare as my personal taste leans towards the US made stuff. i did a 9 hour round trip for a good deal on a Remington 11-87.

Not only for american made firearms. Also for European ones:L3M182 wrote: unfortunately over here we do tend to pay way more for american made firearms
Mauser M18 in the US: $ 650,-
In Germany: € 950,- ($ 1'100,-)
And that's a German brand and parts are manufactured somewhere in East Europe
