Hello everyone...I have a question about my Mossberg shotgun
It is a model 500A, I recently bought a Hogue stock and forend for it, the stock fit like a glove...but the whwn I went to put the forend on, I couldn't. The forend that came with the gun is almost like the Maverick 88 style, where the action bars are attached tto the forend. I bought a slide action assembly off of ebay so that I could install the hogue. When I installed the slide action assembly and reassembled, I tried to cycle a round from the magazine tube, but it would not engage the shell release. After further investigation the action arms on the slide tube assembly are to long, and they do not engage the shell release.
I am wondering if I will be able to find a slide action asembly to make my gun function properly? Or am I going to have to just be happy with the stock forend.
Thanks for your help.
