    Just got a Moss 500a with the beach stocks. Now comes the harder part, finding the parts to change that works the best for me. Reciver is drilled and tapped so a Ghost Ring Sight is first order then a good stock.

    Lots of accesories for your Moss 500A. I did some research on Ebay, and contacted the companies. Barrels, stocks, add on stuff, optics. look under Mossberg Tactical.
    Good luck!

    I just acquired a Mossy 500a also, it had some tacticool pistol grips, fore and aft, I traded them for wood stocks, I like them better!! Good luck with yours!! Before and after shots... OP,how do you go about mounting a ghost ring sight on a 500?

    The receiver is tapped or clamp on barrel. Everything I read recommends sights on the barrel as the barrel is lose fit and shooting slugs with the sight on the receiver is not conducive to good shooting.

    I picked up a used one a few weeks ago, very satisfied with it.
    I would like to get one in 20ga also but I doubt I'll be able to.

    I picked up a 500A with bead sight and wood furniture for $100 several years back. I added an XS big dot tritium bead, a Velcro side saddle, Midwest industries light mount with Surefire g2x, and a sling. All-in I have about $300 in it now and it rides in the trunk of one of my vehicles. I love it, it’s one tough, reliable shotgun.
