I know Carlson's makes a 14" barrel for the 509, but I'm after a threaded 14" barrel. Any options or just stick with sending it out to be cut & threaded?

This is a 15-1/4” barrel as measured from the front of the (closed) bolt face.
(Had it cut down from a 20” barrel). The overall length of the barrel is 16-3/8” Mossberg 500A 12 GA   |

I'm curious why you'd want to thread a shotgun barrel. For one thing, there is very little metal to thread at the muzzle. For another, unless you are extremely lucky and that muzzle diameter just happens to match the diameter of whatever you want to put on there, you're not going to match anything up anyway. Perhaps consider something with a slip fit and welded or JB Welded; skip all the threading.

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Jodan1776: You're probably right. I was picturing external threading. For me, half the reason behind a shorter barrel is the greater spread at close range. Not sure why someone would put chokes in a SBS. Perhaps for easier carry/handling, but to reach out further? But yeah, Briley is your guy for choke tubes.

If you want more spread, get a duckbill choke - and then I think you will need external threads. |

Maybe he wants to mount a Salvo Suppressor on the end of the barrel. These use an adapter/connector that utilize the barrel's internal choke tube thread. Those are getting quite popular, but on a long barrel they are a little unhandy |

Several of us had our shorties threaded for chokes and hunt with them. Onr of many reasons. Guncat will do the threading, reasonable price and quick turnaround. |

I sent off a pair of barrels, one of which was 14" to have threaded for chokes and forcing cone lengthened.
The forcing cone lengthening polishing helped the 9 pellet flyer. Carlsons did them both. |

Just reread this - do you get a larger spread at close range from a shorter barrel, or is that just Hollywood? |

Just reread this - do you get a larger spread at close range from a shorter barrel, or is that just Hollywood? Mostly Hollywood. The choke decides your spread, not the barrel length. Cutting the barrel short means you lose whatever choke it's set up for, do larger spread. When you have the barrel threaded after cutting you can reinstall chokes. |
