Thread: Buy back list

Ok,
My understanding is that they would more than likely use the smaller size,
eg, mossberg 500 chambers 2 3/4 and 3" shells, says on the barrel, if 3' its 5. if 2 3/4 its 7, same for .22 short and LR they would use the short round. more than happy to be proved wrong as the 500 is in the buy back list

Curiously, i had the same suspicions about my Mossberg Shotgun so I put this same point to Wilson's Hunting and Outdoors in Wanganui yesterday and their view is it is the higher size. 3 inchIf you think about it, it's OK to get five cartridges in and it is what's stamped into the barrel, so if you can get 5 x three inch in you're OK

And of course remembering that three inch cartridges are actually 2 1/2 until fired........
