I'll answer my own question for everybody's reference. I was able to remove the two screws that attach the sight to the receiver. However, THE ELEVATION WHEEL IS ALSO THREADED INTO THE RECEIVER. I put back the two screws. I then wedged the sight off the elevation wheel with a allen wrench. I...
TexaSaiga,
Sorry your going through some of the problems I had. Mossberg CS is terrible. Ask them to email you the shipping tag. I got mine that way on the same day. Then send that puppy right back to them. Good news was they fixed mine and it only took about 7-10 days. P.S. I wrote a letter...
My new 590A1 came the same way only not quite as much as CML but in the same area. At first I thought it was rust. However, after messing with it, it didn't seem like any rust I've seen before. The preservative angle makes sense. CML keep us updated please...
I cannot move the rear elevation wheel on my 590A1 ghost ring sight. I have lifted up and also wedged up the apeture so it is raised over the humps. I also dropped some break free in the tapped hole where it is threaded. ANY SUGGESTIONS???
LAZY EYED SNIPER,
Thanks, I have lifted up on the apeture and it still will not turn. I also put a drop of break free inside the top of the receiver where the threads for the wheel is tapped... Any other suggestions, I don't want it to break.. I also threw a request up on the trouble sooting...
UPDATE Shipped my gun back and they quickly returned a new gun..... This gun runs like a champ! Like it was supposed to the first time. A positive for Mossberg was the speed of replacing and shipping it back! I STILL CANNOT get the rear sight to move up or down any suggestions?? ;)
Oli700,
You make some good points and I will give them a chance to make it right and perhaps that will rebuild some confidence for me. I really liked this model with the sights and the location of the Mossberg action release and safety. However, I would expect their customer service to be...
Gentlemen,
Thanks for the welcome. I am willing to give them a chance to make it right. It is nice to hear that all of you have real confidence in your weapon systems. Nightsite, I also have experience and have never had to deal with this issue with other manufactures. However, maybe I just...
Had a brand new 590a1, 18.5 barrel, ghost ring sights. Lasted all of 7 rounds then FTF!!!! Then rear sight elevation wheel snapped off about 1/2 down in the thread. Mossberg customer service really stinks! I posted on that thread also. I have to send it back to people who seem not to care that...
I recently purchased a brand new 590a1 18.5 barrel, ghost ring sights. I intended to use it for home defense and general purpose. I took it to the range and after about 7 rounds of 00 buck I got a FTF. Tried to work with it at the range with negative results. Also, went to change elevation for...
