Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
Sorry for the low quality pics... but here she is with wood furniture and the heatshield back on
It's not the police style forend, but I'm still happy with the way it looks! much better with the dark stain. I intentionally didn't strip and sand the stock perfectly, I wanted it to retain a sort of rustic feel (Are we talking about a gun???
)

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
Ohh I forgot... the used wood set came with one of the old and hard rubber buttpads, and to my surprise.... the limbsaver one I bought for modifying the synthetic stock fit near perfect with this one I believe LOP still measures shorter than stock, around 13.5"

AK,
Great Job. I like the rustic "This ain't my first rodeo" look. Well done.
I also like the paint on the synthetics as well. Nice options to dress her in.

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
I'm also thinking about going with a M1903 type leather sling to complete this setup. The current sling is good, but I don't think it's designed to take the weight of a fully loaded 8 shot 500 (the hardware is plastic :/... but my 10/22 is still looking for a sling)

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
Well thanks! Maybe once our weather clears I can take the good DSLR camera and take some decent outdoor shots with it... the pictures I have up really don't do her justice

Aksavanaman,
Do you read the "RECOIL" magazines? Last issue had a REALLY good thing on "Gun Porn" and how too take great pictures indoors and out. I haven't really caught on too the tricks yet but it helped me out a little when using my phone

Re: New 500- 50521 owner, things to get or do?
Here is a link to my build viewtopic.php?f=17&t=5268 It is the basic HD weapon. The stock pad isn't the best, I switched to a Hogues stock.
As for ammo I got a brick of this Federal LE13200 Low Recoil Flitecontrol Wad, and really like it. I was using Federal Power-Shok 00 2 3/4 which worked very well also. This is loaded at all times. I do use what WalMart has on sale at the range. I don't like to shot bird shot, I use the clays ammo.

Re: New 500- 50521 owner, things to get or do?
i am almost in the same boat as you.
i just picked up a mossberg 500 tactical with the ati 6 position stock and forend strap for home defense and target shooting. heres a list of what i already did
-tac star side saddle $25
-hogue grip sleeve $15
-utg pictinny rail $10
-ati halo heat shield $50 but cant install atm ATI made a mistake and gave me the wrong rails
-nebo light and laser with mount $25
-mossy oak sling w/swivels $15
-Ncstar scabbard $25 i use this to transport my gun and if i have to a defense tool
- a cheap red dot sight $30 i need to shoot it to see how it works might scrap it for some ghost ring sights
as for home defense round i choose 00 buck 2 3/4" , and segmenting slugs for the stoping power. on my side saddle i have 00 buck shot, 1oz slugs, and 2 bird shot rounds for just in case the bird is a zombie. lmao
i am buying another mossberg 500 and making it dual pistol grip in a few weeks. they feel so good in the hand

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
Light's always an issue up here in AK (at least in the winter ) so even at noon, it still has a twilight feel to it. And I don't have any indoor lights that provide good white balance....but I try :roll:
Any one have any suggestions on a good quality leather sling? Or how about a good canvas one, kind of like the M1 Garand style... just brainstorming.

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
AK, I like the Specter Gear sling they have for shotguns. It is a 2 point sling and a few users here have them and have spoken highly I believe it is Oli who has recently mentioned it
