WTB: Mossberg 500 or equivilant - DFW area

Looking to acquire a Mossberg 500, 590 or equivilant Remington model.
DFW Area preferred, but I am not against the idea of a bit of a drive for a good deal. Looking to spend about $300.
Extra kudos if it's got one of those pistol grip/stocks on it (as opposed to just a pistol grip or just a stock)

B&S has a 500 special purpose for under 300, and a few other models for about the same. Both pistol grip and traditional grip.

Pretty sweet deal here:

New unfired M-500 with pistol grip AND a brand new Kahr P9 for $600.00
It isn't going last long.
Don't overlook this...

Nitrogen,
As a suggestion, last November I picked up a Mossie 800(?) model pump, camo patterned furniture, with strap, truglo sights and case for <$180 at the pawn shop off I-30 & Beltline. No wear, a few cosmetic scratches.
Based on last weeks trap shooting, I could easily have sold it for a profit.

You got that one for under $180? Dang!
That thing shot straight as an arrow.
I think thats called American Pawn, its on the south side of I30. I'll have to check that place out on the way home from work tomorrow.

The 500 and the Maverick 88 by Mossberg are near identical. The forearm on the 88 is not replaceable by aftermerket items..
But a 12 guage 88 will cost about $149 on sale at Acadamy. A simple pistol grip and heat shield will cost about $50. If you want to go with a low recoil tactical stock (for the 500/88) it runs about $130.
Yu can get what you need for $300, new. I have an 88, and have owned 500s in the past. No difference in performance.
