Wasn't a super deal but, a fair one. That's a 25 years old gun in fine condition. The older 500's are built MUCH better than the new ones. I paid $300.00 out da door, no tax and no paperwork. The cheapest I seen the new ones was on line
$315.00 plus tax and shipping. Also a $20.00 fee to ship to your FFL dealer so, I think it was a fair deal for the condition of the gun.
Ya, 10mm. I fired at a piece of computer paper at about 20 yards, thinking 60'- 80' is about the top of most nut trees, and it covered the entire sheet. I realize that's not a proper pattern test but, that's all I had time to do.
It has a 23 1/2" barrel. The muzzle opening mics out at 0.375 which is about right. A .410 full choke is 0.390", the ammo was a 3" #4 lead shot. If I have time later today, i'll do a proper pattern test on a sheet of plywood.
