Oddball Mossberg Shotgun Barrel Question

Can you tell me something about this barrel?

It is for a Mossberg 500, and is 18.5 inches long, and so marked, and marked cylinder bore.

However it has no front bead sight, nor any provision for one. It has not been sawed off.

At the rear of the barrel is a dovetailed block, threaded for a screw. Maybe for a special scope mount?

What was this barrel originally made for?

If anyone replies by email, I can send pictures.

Thanks

    Nunn,
    I seem to remember Mossberg making a slug shooting version of the 500 that had a 18.5 rifled or smoothbore barrel and a provision for a cantilever type scope mount. The only times I've seen these is for scope use, otherwise they have the crappy little bead or rifle sights. Sounds pretty uncommon[8D]

    YOU DO HAVE A MOSSBERG OR MAVERICK "BULLPUP" BARREL. IT HAD NO SIGHTS AND THE CARRY HANDLE / HEATSHIELD ASSEMBLY IS SECURED TO THE DOVETAIL SLOT[:D]. OVER THE YEARS, MOSSBERG AND MAVERICK BULLPUPS USED 18 1/2" 6-SHOT, 20" 8-SHOT AND 20" 590 TYPE 9 SHOT BARRELS, ALL WITH NO BEAD AND THE DOVETAIL SLOT.
