Seeing your 590 with the standoff barrel and a heatshield, does that heatshield fit my 500 with a standoff? Also, what side saddle and forend are you using? GREAT looking guns, btw!
LAZY EYED SNIPER said:I picked up a Tacstar saddle and immediately noticed that the forend was hitting the base when retracting the pump. A simple mod will take care of the problem. I've always been one for the quick and easy fix whenever possible. Here's a pic of my TacStar mod for reference...
All I had to do was drill a second hole 1/2" (center to center) inside the existing hole at the rear of the base plate. Drilling it slightly smaller than the others will eliminate the need for a nut to secure the screw. There is now plenty of room for clearance in the action using my aftermarket forend. The whole process took less than five minutes. I've fired several hundred rounds through this 590 and have had no movement in the TacStar at all...
r_adesigns said:Hello all! I recently purchased a Mossberg 500 Tactical Cruiser, which I will pick up on Tuesday. I was calling the local ranges today, only to find that they don't allow PGO shotguns (I didn't know of this being that this is my first experience with a gun and a range). I've read quite a bit of info on stocks, however I'm at a standstill. I'm looking at ATI and Knoxx, and would like to hear from fellow 500 owners. I am looking for the stock only, as I would like to give the stock forend a try. Thanks in advance!
