From mossberg..

Awesome! Thank you for the pictures! With that I can conclusively tell you modern 12 gauge 500 barrels will work with this model with no problem. You can view all that we have to offer here : http://www.mossberg.com/store/parts/...ge=85&type=101

Well that helps narrow things down its nice to hear that right from them considering I've been into shops and they immediately say no you can't without having a close look and just start pushing brand new combos from mossberg, remington, browning.

Just need to find one now before I choose to order directly from them. I know a new combo might be better in some ways in the long run but if the slug barrels only used maybe up to 2 weeks a year in a couple different regions then why pay upwards of $800 when I can pay roughly $200 depending on the vendor or private sale

There is little you can do with a .30-06 you can't accomplish with an 8X57, if you buy Norma ammo or handload.
I had one for a while, and it shot very accurately with Federal 170-grain ammo. I tried one box of Remington 175? grain but it was roundnose ammo and wouldn't feed well. Spitzers feed better.
They are great rifles and fun to shoot.

Not sure what you paid but the crossbow is worth about $100-$125 and the compound about $75.
