I cant seem to find a mossberg 500 barrel that is 18.5 inches anywhere, so i need help to find one that will fit my 5 shot maverick. Any links or info would be great.

They seem to be sold out almost everywhere, that's why I wound up selling my 500 that had a 24" rifled barrel. You should be able to order one directly from Mossberg for about the same price as everywhere else, but it might be backorder none the less. I'll probably buy a used 18" shotgun at some point down the road, since I don't have any immediate need for one.

The barrel for the standard mossberg 500 5 shot will fit! I have traded barrels with one of my students at the range before..

Yeah i know it will fit lol, but as the others have said they are sold out almost everywhere else.

Call mossberg and see what the backorder wait is... For my ghost ring sight is was 12 days... could be you can preorder if you call that was the case with my sight.

Won't an 870 barrel fit? My 870 has a Mossberg slug barrel, and once you get over the light year gap in maching quality, fit and finish, it works just fine. I'd dare say it would work the other way, and you'd end up with a better barrel to boot. Should be easier to find too, 870 being the most successful commercial firearm ever produced and all. So I understand.

The field barrels seem to be pretty common, just snag one of those and chop that sucker down.

Just wanted to note that I just recieved an e-mail from Able's that they have the Mossberg 18.5" barrels back in stock...

Cheaper than Dirt emailed me saying they had them in stock, under $80 as well. Of course, I sold my shotgun a few weeks ago so a lot of good that does me.
