mossberg 500

Hello folks, I got a Mossberg 500 recently. My uses are home defense and hunting. I have a short and long barrel respectively. Mine is a plain Jane synthetic stock. I’m thinking upgrading the stock, forehandle, equipping a side shell holder on top maybe with picatinny rail, and attaching a...

First of all, I am new to THR so I apologize if I am not posting in the right place. I recently acquired a old Mossberg 500A1 from a friend. Upon examination I discovered that the barrel has a bit of play. Not side-to-side or in and out, but if you grab the receiver and the barrel and twist...

My maverick 88 has not been reliably feeding shells from the tube into the chamber recently. Initially I thought it was the ammo, as I have never had a feeding issue before, but upon trying different shells that have run perfectly fine in it before, the issue was still happening. I gave it a...

Hi, is there anybody who can provide width and height of the Mossberg 500 receiver where it meets the stock? I have a Derya shotgun and I'd like to see if I can mount the Magpul stock for the 500 with as little adaptation as possible. I don't think they are compatible straight away, but I hope...

Does anyone have experience with this mount from GG&G? It looks like a clever design, and it will definitely fit my 500, which only has the 5-round tube and not an extended one. https://www.gggaz.com/mossberg-500-flashlight-mount.html

The recommended fix for shells popping out of the mag tube is to bend the shell stop by a millimeter or two. I spent some time studying the problem on a Mossberg 500, the design of the shell stop appears more to blame than how far outward it is bent from the receiver. In the attached pic, you...

The owner of a high-volume shooting range in Vegas has a few long and detailed posts on another forum about high round counts on various models of firearms that his range rents. From reading through the other threads, I've drawn several conclusions about the owner: He has extensive experience...

I bought a Vang Comp shell carrier a few weeks ago and finally opened the package today to install it. Behold, there were no instructions. That is a little frustrating to me for a $100 part. I'm 80 percent confident that I could figure it out myself, but I hate guessing my way through the...

So putting back together my mossberg I find that when I put the trigger housing in the forend won’t rack back fully and jams. I’ve reassembled it plenty of times cleaned it and used plenty of lubricant.

I inherited my dad's dedicated zombie slayer. It's an 8 shot with 20 inche barrel. Dad had a pistol grip on it, already tried the pistol grip shotgun thing many years ago, didn't like it, was able to find the original stock so I put it back on. It has the standard pipe barrel with no choke. I...

So i have an old 500 i used for water fowl for years. Wore the thing out. It started not extracting the spent shells anymore and when it did it would kind of, dribble them out. I replaced both extractors and the ejector but now the dang thing wont let go of the shell! I mean, it holds on good...

hello, I have been looking around for a good home defense shotgun for a while now. The Mossberg 500/590 series is looking like the best option for me right now becomes of price and the ability to change configurations easily with the 500 flex. I have never owned a shotgun before (i have several...

I'm looking for a cheap 20-gauge pump to use for casual clay shooting with a Trius step-thrower, and considering these two. I looked at both at a local Big & Large Mart. The 320 looks cheap, and IS, at just $147! The Mossberg has better finish, and is still pretty cheap, at $188. (Plus, I...

Hey, guys. Been browsing the forums as a non-member for a while now and figured I might as well join, seeing as how your discussions have already helped me learn about my hand-me-down 1964 Ruger Standard. I recently acquired a Mossberg 500 12ga and decided to try and break it down to...

I want to put a mount point for a single point sling on my 590. I went out and purchased a Midwest industries plate that fits between the receiver and stock. It's about a quarter inch thick and as a result the stock bolt is not long enough. I went down to the hardware store and asked the...

SO I just recently purchased a new Mossberg 500 with wood stock/forend, 28 inch ported barrel, and its gotta blue finish. That last part is where my problem lies, the barrel and receiver gets riddled with fingerprints whenever I handle it. I want to get a new finish put on it but I have no...
