Yes, I am resurrecting an old thread.Don’t add too much stuff on it. The more it looks like something from a movie or a video game the worse it’s gonna perform. Get useful stuff like a good sling and swivel mounts. Don’t get a big ole looping sling (like the one that holds shells). Get one that you can use to steady your aim. Something like this. https://www.midwayusa.com/product/2611167454
There aren’t very many good options for night sights but they’re warranted. This one works “ok.” But, have to remove a few threads so they don’t stick into the barrel.
It’s not all that bright, but options are limited and it’s better than just seeing black. https://www.opticsplanet.com/meprolight-tru-dot-shotgun-night-sights-for-mossberg-shotguns.html
Get a trigger spring kit to reduce the trigger pull weight (easier to pull). The stainless magazine follower is nice but it isn’t a “must have.”

I wouldn’t change the fore end. Options are limited and the original works well. If you want you can smooth out the action bars with some emery cloth. Don’t go nuts with it though. You can do the same to all of the other action pieces. You’re pretty much just looking to remove any rough spots that might have been left during the manufacturing process.
Since you’re “shooting in the house,” the type of shell doesn’t matter all that much as long as they’re not slugs. 2-3/4” #4’s will do. Or if you want to spend a little more go for 2-3/4” 00 buck.
Get some practice. Heat shields, bayonets, door breeching muzzle brakes, etc -not so cool.
Five rounds of #4 at 10 yds or so split the fence board. That’s a fairly narrow target for shell shot.
Question about the trigger spring kit. Have you had any Light Primer strikes after installing this?
