Here is mine.

Mossberg 500 with 18" barrel 7+1 tube, ATI telescopic stock, ATI 5 shotshell holder, Rayovac Indestructable 120 lumen LED

Combination of Buckshot, birdshot, 9mm adapter (with Federal Hydroshok) and 1 slug just in case someone is still squirmin'

Thats an interesting loadout.

How does that 9mm adapter work? I have two adaptors that converts a 20ga to 357 magnum. They were my dads and I never shot them. But from what he said they worked alright as long as you're real close to what you are aiming at. I'd be afraid to use them in a pump for fear that the 357 round would fall out the adaptor while cycling the action.

Never tried the adapter yet, I did however turn it right side up even though the fit of the bullet is very tight, but just in case.

Good looking Mossy 500 you have there. I'm going to have to read up on those adapters. Never heard of being able to shoot pistol ammo out of a shotgun. Thanks for sharing the pic and info. I tried to find a decent pic of my 500, but photobucket is acting up right now. I got the ATI top folding stock on mine, butt ugly, but I like it alright. Haha.

Edit to add pic. photobucket decided to cooperate. Please excuse the adult beverage in pic.

I had an ATI top folder but I didn't like it, it was too long (and I'm 6'2") and wasn't comfortable so I went with the telescopic.

It is a tad long, but I done got it on there, and have had it on there for years so I plan on leaving it as is. Probably shoot it with it folded if I ever have to use it for self defense anyway. I don't drag it out to the range much anymore, to be honest. That's ok. Got others for the range. But my 500 is my go to gun for bumps in the night inspections.

mine's a plain as vanilla 4 shot 870 wingmaster with a 20" unrifled IC barrel with rifle sites.


this pics not mine, but if you've seen one you've seen em all...

I'd like more capacity, but that will have to do for the time being.
I'm thinking about getting a 6 shot 20 gauge one of these days..

This is what I want, but would replace the buttstock with a pistol grip

I'm tired of reading about SHTF.   I am planning for the more likely scenario SSDD (Same Sh_it, Different Day).

I've thought about picking up a pistol gripped stock for my Mossberg but I think it would make it difficult to reach the safety efficiently.

It doesn't.  I have a pistol grip on a Mossberg 500

My beloved Mossberg Maverick 88; I also have the 8-shot model, but I prefer the 6-shot as it is lighter and easier to maneuver with:



Here's one to 1-up washburnizer and that nasty bottle of Jim Beam:  :lol:



I love my Mavs. They have served me very well thus far.
