This is a Mossberg 500 persuader with an 18.5" barrel. It has had a Knoxx Sidewinder drum conversion added. What you're getting here is the shotgun with conversion, plus 1 10 round drum and 2 6 round box mags. It will also come with the original mossberg parts and tactical sling. $800
I will only do this ftf in TN, or shipped to an FFL out of state. I'll have to have a copy of the ffl sent to me and I'll ship to the address on the form.

Re: Knoxx Sidewinder

they are unreliable....and very difficult to set up, and get working properly.
these days, i wouldn't buy one on a bet.

before you start, get a spare magazine tube from Gunparts in case yours wont work, and you want to restore the gun to working condition

sidewinder kit

I have a Mossy 500 that I have never fired. I was ordering some stuff from Cabella's a couple of months ago and the Knoxx Sidewinder kit caught my eye so I ordered one. I got the 10 round mag and an extra 6 round mag. The kit is installed on my Mossy, cycles fine, but I haven't had time to take it to the range. I heard that Knoxx quit making the kit and mags and have heard some strange prices bantered concerning the mags. The prices are mostly inflated because, supposedly there will be no more made.
My question: Do I have an orphan or a potential collector. I plan on retiring from the force in a few months so my door kicking days will be behind me What I bought, on a whim, as a home defense, SHTF, amazemat the range, shotgun now might be worth more than I paid.
What do you think.
Thanks, Smitty

How much does the sidewinder kit usually go for? I'm interested, but it seems steep.

Honestly I don't know nowadays. Knoxx no longer manufactures the kit due to their inability to produce it at a target cost and sell it at (their) perceived market price. I bought the kit for $210 (w/one drum) and each of the additional drums for $75 each. So, I'm basically selling it for what I bought it for two years ago. If you count the the fact that I'm not charging shipping... it works out pretty reasonably I think. But... I really don't know what they're going for in todays market. I checked gunbroker, gunsamerica and a few other sites. The only other Knoxx kit I was able to find was a kit with 4 six round mags instead of 3 10-round drums for the same price.
