Description
The Iver Johnson 500 12 Ga Walnut 28 is a semi-automatic 12 gauge shotgun with a 3 inch chamber, a 28 inch vent rib barrel, a black metal finish and a checkered walnut field stock. It ships with five choke tubes, so it is ready for upland birds, waterfowl and clays.
Iver Johnson 500 12 Ga Walnut 28 Overview
Iver Johnson shotguns are built in Turkey and offer real value for hunters who want a reliable autoloader without a premium price. The Iver Johnson 500 semi-auto cycles a wide range of 2-3/4 and 3 inch loads, which lets you shoot light target loads at the range and heavier loads in the field. The 28 inch barrel has a ventilated rib for a clean sight picture and accepts internal choke tubes, with cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, improved modified and full tubes included.
The walnut field stock is checkered for a sure grip and has a recoil pad and sling swivel studs. The black metal finish is low-glare and easy to care for, and the gun balances well for quick swings on flushing birds.
Choke Tubes for Every Hunt
Five choke tubes make the Iver Johnson 500 versatile. Use cylinder or improved cylinder for close-flushing birds and skeet, modified for doves and general hunting, and improved modified or full for waterfowl and longer passing shots. Always use chokes rated for the shot type you are shooting.
Field Ready Features
The vent rib, checkered walnut stock and recoil pad make the 500 comfortable for long days afield. Sling swivel studs let you add a sling for walking in to the blind or stand, and the semi-auto action keeps recoil manageable for follow-up shots.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the action and barrel after shooting, remove and lubricate the choke tube threads, and keep the operating parts lightly oiled. A semi-auto runs best when it is kept clean, so a quick wipe down after each outing pays off with reliable cycling.
Choosing Shells
Pattern your shotgun with several loads at the distances you expect to shoot, since every barrel and choke combination behaves differently. Use the right shot size for your game or target and follow local rules on nontoxic shot where required.
Fit and Mounting
A shotgun that fits lets you look straight down the rib with your cheek firmly on the stock. Practice smooth gun mounts at home with an unloaded gun to build consistency in the field and on the clay range.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the bore, chokes and action after each outing, especially after rain or salt water. A light coat of oil on metal parts and a clean action keep the shotgun running reliably for years.
Choke Selection
Tighter chokes such as modified and full extend effective range for waterfowl and turkey, while improved cylinder and skeet chokes open patterns for close birds and clay targets. Always use chokes rated for the shot you are shooting, especially steel.
Recommended Accessories
Eye and ear protection, a cleaning kit, extra choke tubes and a padded case are smart additions. Hunters may want a sling, while clay shooters often add a shell pouch and recoil reducing pad.
