Mossberg 500 Slugster | 12ga | 24in Rifled Barrel | 56424

The Mossberg 500 Slugster is a purpose-built 12 Gauge pump-action shotgun configured for slug use, featuring a 24-inch fully rifled barrel and adjustable rifle sights for consistent shot-to-shot accuracy. It accepts 3″ shells and uses a fixed synthetic stock with an ambidextrous safety. Standard Mossberg 500 features—dual extractors, twin action bars, and an anti-jam elevator—are retained for reliable operation.

Typical applications include big-game hunting with slugs and precision slug patterning or slug-specific sporting events where accuracy and repeatable shot placement matter.
