    Mossberg 990 SPX Class 3

    I thought this was discussed here already, maybe on another forum - however - Mossberg said at Shot Show the 990 SPX 'stocked' models (not Aftershock) in SBS and non NFA 18.5" configuration have had the gas system tweaked since the Aftershock was not designed to be fired with a stock and some...

    500 with ATI stock- shooting high

    *** My only caveat - if you look at Hogue's website (good choice on the 12" LOP stock, it is my favorite of the affordable standard Mossberg stocks! - I would recommend getting the full 12" LOP kit with forend, it sells the same price as the stock by itself!*** - the only savings you'd have is...

    500 with ATI stock- shooting high

    Yep thats the one - straight back M4 stock with no drop so you cant get a good sight picture - very annoying on a shotgun Order the fiorend nut adapter too - based on your photo I can almost guarantee from the picture 99.9% positive that is a 6 3/4 action tube - Just use the links I sent trust...

    500 with ATI stock- shooting high

    Your wife will thank you if you change the stock - nothing worse than a gun she doesn't want to shoot The ATI stock I do not believe uses a factory stock bolt as the angle would not match - I've purchased Mossberg parts from this seller many times he ships fast and OEM Mossberg parts - $10 for...

    500 with ATI stock- shooting high

    I still say $55 on a Hogue stock (normal LOP or 12" LOP if you like compact, add the matching forend for $10) would allow him to get his eye down low enough - that ATI stock is straight back like an AR doesn't drop -

    500 with ATI stock- shooting high

    My .02 - no need to trade it in, its a great shotgun just not the best furniture included- Get rid of the ATI collapsible stock (they are horrible on Mossbergs for the safety location being on top of receiver) since the ATI doesn't have the drop that a Mesa Tactical LEO adapter would (and...

    New Mossberg 990 Aftershock

    Plus tax, shipping, credit card fees and GB fees probably getting close to $500 - seems like a good amount but such is the used market nowadays - if someone wants an SBS host it isnt bad

    New Mossberg 990 Aftershock

    Would be great for an SBS Host if you do NFA - and a great candidate for a refinish in NP3 or NT7 from Wright Armory

    New Mossberg 990 Aftershock

    Mossberg did advise the 18.5" SPX 990 version is a one piece mag tube with metal sleeve cover (same as 940 Pro) - they also ship with the RMR adapter plate in case you don't want to use Holosun K footprint for the optic cut on receiver Sounds excellent to me! Don't know if I mentioned, but my...

    New Mossberg 990 Aftershock

    I agree on balance - sometimes I even wonder with the aluminum handguard craze on the market, is adding 3/4 of a pound of metal handguard at the front of a front heavy shotgun noticeable? I would think it is - Although with short LOP and a more compact weapon it’s less noticeable. I’d be...

    New Mossberg 990 Aftershock

    Ernst - love chatting with you (see my notes above in your post in bold and italics)! Tactical shotguns are a passion for me as well, as I don't hunt and feel that a tactical shotgun is an excellent defense choice in almost all scenarios. I'm normally not someone to 'buy something new to...

    New Mossberg 990 Aftershock

    Me as well - they knew people wanted a stock and they gave them a direct option gassed appropriately - I appreciate the Hogue for its low weight, have not owned one in years but remember it being decent for me - but let me tell you, anything I have that can fit an SGA (and isn't wood stocked)...

    New Mossberg 990 Aftershock

    If you buy the Aftershock (birds grip) model and plan to Form 1 it - he mentions in this video the gas system is different on the stockless vs. the actual Form 4 SBS version that is being made now - cliff notes is that it may not cycle the lower FPS stuff occasionally because the system was not...

    Finally completed my 'cheap' 590 - I call it 'practical tactical'

    Ernst you think just as I do and that is how I train, for common reloading techniques, hence why I've never dabbled into mini-shells, and when I do add new guns to the 'fleet', I do not add more calibers as I tend to buy in bulk and keep enough (12GA, 5.56, 9mm, 45ACP, 38SP/357Mag, 22LR)

    Finally completed my 'cheap' 590 - I call it 'practical tactical'

    I did not personally, although it would be easy with an adapter - my thinking is for my uses (I'm not a hunter so everything in my safe has a defensive role) I keep cases of slugs and 00 buck (2 3/4) in bulk - Minishells add capacity but they are definitely less 'oomph' by design and more...

    Finally completed my 'cheap' 590 - I call it 'practical tactical'

    For me the 18" with S&J +1 extension giving me 7+1 is the perfect combo of compact, light, and maneuverable - I know 20" barrels don't need an extension and carry another round, but in my experience you can tell a difference going from a 16" AR to a 14.5" pinned/welded rifle, same concept - I...

    Finally completed my 'cheap' 590 - I call it 'practical tactical'

    Well its always nice to 'finish' a gun project - (And when I say 'cheap 590', read below, the build itself was not, just the bare bones gun ha!) Some years back in the 'golden days' of gun buying aka the first Trump term and pre 'wu-flu' panic and then inflation, Buds had a special on the base...

    Sticky rear of action (slide fully to rear) - Mav88

    They sure did Ernst thank you to all! Finish looks pretty good on the arms (they always show some wear on the bluing after being actuated a few dozen times) I don't see anything inconsistent but I may buff a bit lightly with some 0000, and polish them up - I should have taken pics, that was...

    Sticky rear of action (slide fully to rear) - Mav88

    No difference (bare tube) - but, I did find a burr on the action tube notch (left side) So I filed it off and fine sandpaper to smooth it out - definitely an improvement than this morning with the 'new' action tube out of the box! I think I'll probably quit there and maybe do some dremel...
