Mossberg 500 Upgrade project: FINISHED!!

What about the Blackhawk two-point sling that holds 15 shotshells? I put it on mine. All that must really add to the weight.

And with the new 5 sided forend. The magpul fore grip is just positioned. I thought I read that the forend came with rails but it didn't so I have to order some.

What would you need more rails for? I already see a light.

BTW, looks sharp.

Probably to mount the AFG

the rails are to mount the AFG and thumb stop to the forend. The side saddle and red dot site are still shipping. and Yeah I need to get a sling. I changed out the standard blank adaptor with the included sling adaptor that came with the ATI stock. I'm still researching to decide how I want to mount it. Definitely a 2 point, but I don't know if I want to use the swivel on the barrel screw or attach a QD system to the other side rail oposite the flashlight.

it's really not bad at all, actually. the flashlight is probably the heaviest, but everything is pretty evenly distributed. plus the AFG and thumb stop, as well as a sling(when i get one) will all help with stability.

Small update! The side saddle arrived today and it took all of 5 minutes to install it.

There's more stuff on that shotgun than on a Swiss Army Knife.

Are you going to go for a red-dot sight, or something like a ghost-ring iron sight with a post front?

Red dot. I did quite a bit of research and read really good reviews about the Bushnell TRS-25. From what I've read it's one of the best in the under $100 range. Plus, the brightness goes to ELEVEN!

I think I paid $80 shipped.

All that weight is good for reducing recoil ;)

And I'm still curious about this...

Would you be interested in selling the original ribbed foreend? Mine has the Field foreend that doesn't have the best grip.

[trentwhite778]

sorry, i did not see that!. PM me your address.

"Tacticool".


.....I own one too, so I'm not dissin' 'ya.....

I put my light in a different spot so the pressure switch would be on the grip.

You beat me to it. That just made my inner Grammar Cop get all in a twist

P.S. - Nice work!
