My roommate bought me a 7 round magazine tube for my birthday, wrongly assuming that it would fit on my 88 Mavericks 28'' barrel. Turns out a 20'' in the only barrel where the tube mount is placed far enough back for a 7 round tube.

I would like to upgrade from the 5 round mag tube, but to me its not worth giving up the 28'' barrels full choke and sight rib. Would it be safe to just cut its tube mount out of the way, install the 7 round magazine tube, and then brace everything with 2-3 of those shotgun magazine tube clamps you see on Midway? My fear is that any cutting will reduce the structural integrity of the barrel since it is a single cast piece of metal.

20in barrel length will have the same shot pattern as a 28in
>>
>>32092096
those shotgun mag clamps keep the magazine from rotating they wont stop a barrel from flying forwards
just have him return it its worthless to you
>>
>>32092096
The Maverick 88/Mossberg 500 cannont except magazine extensions because of the way the barrel mounts. Only the 590 can have magazine extensions.
>>
>>32092096
Barrel stress from gas pressure is greatest at the inner wall of the barrel. Cutting an attachment on the outside of the barrel won't affect how much pressure it can take during shooting, unless you start to nick into the barrel itself too much.

they can accept extensions. the receiver thread for the mag tube is the same.
its just that you have to replace the whole front end of the gun making it not cost effective.
if you swap the 500 magtube with a 590 one the only things that fit are 590/835 barrels

Oh, ok. So you'd need to buy a new slide assembly?
>>
>>32094580
you can use the old slide. just need to replace the barrel and everything in the mag tube to make a franken 500590.
this isnt worth doing since the barrel and magtube run 300+ and you could have just bought another 500
>>
>>32094622
So then it'd probably be better to buy a 590 if you intend to increase your magazine capacity.

yes though doing on a 590 is pointless in its own way since all the 590 barrels are 18 or 20. unless you like this look.
>>
>>32094671
Guess you'd better buy the one that has the magazine capacity you want the first time then.
>>
>>32094721
pretty much.
or buy a 835 if you want an stupidly longbarrel and magtube setup
