So far loving the info gained from this website. Going to be ordering a Hogue 12" LOP Stock and forend sometime this summer. I know it will work on my 590A1 18.5 as is.
BUT?
Just wondering if this has ever been tried this yet?
Can a Hogue forend be modifed to use an shorter action tube ( 6 1/2" - 6 3/4" ) instead of the longer ( 7 5/8" - 7 3/4" ) tube the 590a1 comes with?
I know it would have to overlap the reciever some in the open postion, and that it could hinder the use of a side saddle on the receiver. But with someone with shorter arms like myself the need for more control without having to reach so far exceeds the need for a side saddle.
I'm already using the mossberg syn stock cut down to 12" but I still have a hard time reaching the forend compared to my 870WM or friends 500A field combo.
If it hasnt been tried I think im gonna have to order a short action tube and hogue forend and go to town with the dremal.
Thanks for taking the time to read this any advise or thoughts are welcome.
