Wow thanks Rossignol! Very good info. Makes me rethink the whole single point sling adapter for my mossberg entirely.
Yeah he is 100% right, don't go down that road, you will only be disappointed. Been there and done that.Water Monkey said:Wow thanks Rossignol! Very good info. Makes me rethink the whole single point sling adapter for my mossberg entirely.
Rossignol said:I too had problems when I added a receiver end plate sling adapter.
I used the ERGO ambi sling plate, also about 1/4" thick. I used mine with the Hogue short LOP which uses the factory stock bolt, but still had to do like wise and go to the hardware store for a longer bolt to use the sling plate.
Using the sling plate introduced another issue however. Well, a couple issues, one compounded by the other. You know the lug on the bottom of the receiver that sticks out to mate up with the notch in the stock? When you add the sling plate, this lug thingy becomes useless and no longer mates to the stock at all, which introduces the first problem. Stock twist. I know not everyone experiences the stock twist, but it was a problem for me. The stock would rotate on the bolt axis, so I fgured it simply needed to be tightened. This is where the second problem begins. The receiver of the 590A1 is an aluminum alloy and softer than the steel bolt, so over tightening could result in stripping the threads out of the receiver. (Parenthetically speaking here, Remington has a clear advantage having an all steel receiver).
I never could (safely) tighten my stock bolt so it wouldn't rotate. I would get it very very snug, to the point I felt anymore may very well strip it out. It was tight, but I could still feel the give in the threads and I wasn't willing to risk any more. If it were steel, you could torque it down pretty hard and it would crush plastic in the stock before damaging threads.
While I liked the ERGO plate, I removed it in the long run for the reasons listed above. I decided on the Specter Gear sling and stock adapter if I would want a sling on it.

Hey ManGoat,
First, I really appreciate your support on my video and I'm glad it was able to help you out in any way!
Second, It saddens me that you also had a similar issue with your shotgun because that means it may be an ongoing QC issue with the 590A1 series. The good thing is its a quick fix however many new gun owners may not be quite as knowledgable on how the shotgun works to fix it.
Third, unfortunately I can not help you on the GG&G sling adapter as I dont have any experience on it. The 590A1 is my HD shotgun so I dont put a sling on it. However I was thinking about putting the adapter on down the road so this does bump my concern up.
I wouldnt think that the particular stock should effect how the bolt sets in the receiver. How about taking out the washer? Perhaps that would add a little bit of length.

that was just what i needed to completely dissasemble my 590.
been wanting to do it just for bacsic cleaning, and didnt really know what the hell i was doing when i took her apart the other day, but it was just a field strip, and YES the triger housing got me too , but i eventually got it and now i can take her fully apart for a good cleaning when i get a few more rounds thru her....only about 100 so far.....
thanks bro for the how-to-video it was awesome......

I thought I wanted the 51660 9-shot. After watching RaulPerez1's multiple reviews of HD configurations on youtube that included his significant other, I reconsidered and went with the 51517 6-shot with GRS from BudsGunShop.com. I want my wife and daughter to be able to handle it too.
I just got the tracking number from Buds today so it is on the way to my local FFL dealer for transfer.
Also on the way is a BlackHawk Knox Gen II Spec Ops stock. I see some bad reviews but will keep the group informed of any problems. I'll also provide before/after pics once I get this stuff.
awiner said:You mentioned in the video the differences between the 500 and 590 series.
From my understanding one of the major differences is in the receiver.
The 500 uses a lighter weight aluminum receiver whereas the 590 is steel.
