I have a question for all of you 12 gauge guys /turkey guys. i got my mossberg 535 on a trade, and all i know about it is that I have 4 chokes and 2 barrels. I know about the chokes and everything, but i'm unclear as to which barrel to use? i'm only gonna shoot clays with it this week and to be honest I have only put 5 shells through it since I got it because I went back to school the next week.
it looks identical to top gun in this picture, i have the smaller 24" barrel not currently on the gun, and the 28" on the gun.
my question is, which barrel is better suited for shooting clays? if one is better for that, then what do I use the other barrel for?
also, can i take the strap mount thingy out of the cap that tightens the barrel down? it appears to be screwed into the cap of the barrel that isn't on the gun, but seems really tight. the other one has threads i just dont want to start trying to take it out and fuck it up.
it says that this gun will take 2.75-3.5" shells, are there any clay specific/cheap/certain size (or shot, etc) loads that i should get? i had used some that my old man had laying around before but i'm going to pick up a couple boxes for when i go on my own.
which choke would be better suited for shooting clays?
thanks
