Mossberg 500 Thunder Ranch Shotgun
Mossberg teamed up with Clint Smith, the President of the Thunder Ranch training facility in Oregon, to design the Mossberg 500 Thunder Ranch Shotgun.
Unlike many other special editions guns, a lot of thought appears to have gone into this shotgun. It features a shortened stock with a 12.75″ length of pull (LOP) for maneuverability in a self defense situation. It includes a tri-rail on the fore-end for mounting accessories. The barrel is Mossberg’s 18.5″ Stand Off (breaching) barrel.

My roommate just got a mossberg 500 pistol grip, and it is awesome! Best addition he's made to an already great weapon so far.
Just how popular is the standard Mossberg 500?
