I have a Mossberg 835 pump. I am in the process of converting it into a turkey/tactical gun.
It is chambered for 3.5" shells, which is handy for turkeys. I don't know if buckshot is available in 3.5" shells, but if so I will be procuring some.
It currently has a 28" barrel. Mossberg doesn't have a shorter non-slug barrel listed on their website, but I know they make one. I am hopefully going to get either an 18" or 20" barrel that is threaded to accept their Ulti Mag chokes. I currently have a turkey choke, and will be adding a crenelated home defense choke for home defense purposes.
I have a red dot mounted on a weaver rail on there already. It has come in handy for killing turkeys during the last couple of seasons.
Finally, I will be adding a Blackhawk pistol grip tactical stock. It is collapsable and goes from 14.25 to 18.5 inches.
I also have a removable monopod that I use during turkey season.
Anything that I am missing?
