    Thats funny ,I have a 5500 with a wood stock and Ive been looking for a syn. stock. I didnt Know anybody else in this world besides me even had a 5500. How well does yours work? Mine has trouble shooting light target loads , only works well with max dram game loads. Had the spring changed helped a little but still jams with the light loads once in a while. I would suggest a trade but my stock has a couple of dings from buncing around a duck boat. Nothing deep but could use refinishing.

    Im not sure about the chokes, I was going to ask you that I have an Imp. cyl on mine which works well for duck. I would like a full choke tube for it for trap or turkey. Does yours shoot 3in shells or just 2 3/4.

    Walrus & Tree........Guys.. maybe I can help, since both my son-in-law and I each have a 5500... They have the accu-choke tube system.. not the ones that are in the 835 Ulti-mag guns.... They were produced with two different barrels /chamberings .... The markings on the barrels are misleading / confusing.... Here goes..I'll try and explain..
    One barrel is marked " magnum shells 2-3/4 and 3" only" ..Translation.... 2-3/4" magnum & 3" magnum shells only..Field loads (low brass) don't have enough ooomph to cycle the bolt.... The other variation of the barrel is marked" non-magnum shells only"... If you need a dove or quail gun, you need to find a "non-magnum " barrel..I have one of each...not for sale, I'm looking for a non-magnum barrel for my son-in-law.. anybody out there help....

Also thanks for the fathers day reminder, its funny how the wife will remind me about mothers day, anniversary, birthdays (except mine), but never fathers day wonder why??? Maybe I should just charge that new marlin Ive been lookin at and Ill just write on the bill happy fathers day.

    I also have 2 mossberg 5500's and would like to change the stock and forend to synthetic on one with the banged up wood. Will the parts from a 500 work on the 5500's?
