Okay, after several months (maybe a year) of doing the BA/UU/R drill I have decided that I might replace the synthetics fore and aft on my Mossberg 590 GR. I simply don't like the horrible ridged forend and would also like to shorten the LOP by an inch.
I have danced around the idea of getting the Hogue overmolded forend/12" stock setup. I know I would be extremely pleased with it. But something draws me toward looking into an altenative in wood. (I could care less if my 590 is all black or not.) I guess it goes back to my love of rifles and revolvers that are blue steel and wood. (Awright... don't go down the anodized aluminum reciever road! )
So my dilemma is (1) Hogue Overmolded which I would be pleased with, or (2) finding a knockaround Mossy wood stock that I can shorten by an inch and reinstall/reshape the recoil pad. Plus a wood forend that might feel better than the sharp-edged one now on my shottie. IOW, can wood compete with Hogue Overmolded?
Opinions are welcomed ( and a picture or three would be appreciated)!
