mossberg 500a

[GLOCKEDnLOADED]

So I'm new to the shotgun world and I just recently purchased a mossberg 500a for a really good price but I'm starting to regret getting it. Can anyone help me out on a good forend to purchase that will actually fit the action tube without having to replace it? I bought a mako tri railed forend but it was way to short. Any help would be appreciated!

I'm a Remington guy, but I believe there are 2 different size Mossberg forends that are not interchangeable. Someone will be along shortly with more info.

I'm starting to think that I might become a Remington guy also!

Don't jump ship just yet. I have used Remington for about 20 years, but recently purchased 2 Mossberg 500s. I shot both Mossy's and I really liked the action. Be patient with the Mossy's and see what's out there. They may grow on you like they did me!

I'm definitely going to give it a try. I've only had her for a few weeks and I don't have anything to compare her to since I've never even fired a shotgun before. Its just kind of a let down that the 870 seems to have all types of accessories readily available but I can't find anything for my 500 let alone anything that fits the shorter actin tube!

You have a 6 3/4" tube and most forends are 7 3/4

Mossberg 500's rock, there are a ton of aftermarket goods for them. Take your time and measure before you order and it should work out well. I've always had Mossbergs and Winchesters, never owned an 870. My brother has one and it shoots well but doesn't seem any better than my boom sticks. I do love my 590 though.

I wish 590s were cheaper! That would make me happy. LGS has either pistol grips OR butt-stocks. I WANT BOTH!!!!!
