Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
Thanks for the compliments everyone! I think I might paint the original synthetic forend as well... I like options! Does anyone else have a slew of different stocks and forends for their mossies? I feel like i'm playing dress up with my guns

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
Besides what is sitting on my guns now, I do have a stock and forend for my 12 ga's that I sanded and stained a Dark Walnut and did the checkering in Black ink from a sharpie marker.
I then satin cleared them.
I really like the way it came out.
It goes on occasionally.

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
I've got a wood set that's heading my way now... I was bidding on a police style forend on ebay...but I have a feeling that there were one or two other MO members that were bidding on the same thing. I think it ended up going for $65..just the forend. I've also seen previous police style wood sets go for $250 :shock: for that price I could widdle my own

Wow, that is truly a beastly looking weapon! Great Color choices! Even Better Paint Job!
I can't say I enjoy the LE Sets... maybe it is just me
Nostalgia would be a selling point though if it had a story behind... legit story told from the guy who served in Blue with it!

Re: My new build
Put the setup through it paces today. About 200 rounds down range and all went well. It did take a few times to be hit the nose to realize that I can't wrap my thumb with the 12" LOP. The sight worked very well and is a huge improvement over the stock bead. And what else can be said about the Hogue stock and forend, money well spent. I did swap in the 13" LOP modded stock, but found the Hogue to feel better.
I and please with the out come.

Re: My new build
Good to see the Hogue is workin out for you.
I think we've all been cracked in the nose one or twice. I tend to rest my thumb along the outside edge of the receiver just to the right of the safety. Gives me quick access to the safely button and keeps my nose from get'n banged up...

Hogue 12"LOP stock and forend
Elite tactical safety
Marbel Arms tritium sight
The GG&G mount showed today also.
This my basic HD weapon. I think I will go with a velcro side saddle, either a 3Gun or Esstac.
very nice.

CeraKote 28" VR Barrel to go with Marinecote Mossy 500
I paid a local vendor to have a Mossy 500 28" VR Barrel coated with a Cerakote Firearm Coating in Graphite Black, Item: H-146Q, CeraKote's most popular satin black. The Mossy 500 Marinecote is a great weather shotgun, but the 18.5" Marinecote barrel is limited for hunting. I will carry the spare barrel. I like the black color better than shinny nickel color.

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
So... since I've aquired a 590A1 the hogue furniture will be moving from the 500. I've got a wood set that came in the mail yesterday that I'll be refinishing and trying on the 500. I'm in love with the trench gun style (who isn't ) so I'll be searching for that police style forend (once again...who isn't). So no worries, I won't let this thread die just because I got a big brother to the 500 One thing I noticed is how smooth my broken-in action feels on the 500 compared to the pretty new 590, pretty much night and day!

Re: Returning to my roots..."The 500"
You know its funny... I've had three different forearms on this 500 now... the synthetic ribbed, the Ergo (with various forms of rail covers...AFG2 and now LaRue handstops) and recently the wood (which is just a standard hunting one) And out of all those which one did I find most comfortable (and even shot better with)???? The Wood one It's a learning process I guess
