knutz 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Report Share Posted July 14, 2008 I recently got a really good deal on a little Mossy 500 12 ga. 18.5" barrel and pistol grip. I know this will sound like heresy on this site but I've never really been into semi auto shotguns. So I figured I would turn this little pump gun into my home defense weapon. The gun has some wear on the reciever and only has the pistol grip. Question 1 Will duracoat work on the receiver? Q#2 Where is the best place to look for a good stock with a pistol grip? The gun was really cheap and more than anything I just wanna play around with it by refinishing it and adding a few things to it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Well I dont know about the Duracoat, bat as for the PG stock I go with Mesa Tactical, they make the adapters to use any AR stock on your shotty. They make a kit that mimics the geometry of an AR, with a top rail that mounts to the adapter, you dont have to use the collapsing stocks either, any AR stock will work. http://www.mesatactical.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

hallboss 1 Posted November 4, 2008 Report Share Posted November 4, 2008 From what I've heard Duracoat sticks to anything. I'll let you know, I have a 500 that I converted to a 590A and I plan on painting the receiver with Duracoat when the brown truck delivers it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gtnichols 51 Posted November 5, 2008 Report Share Posted November 5, 2008 (edited) I got my wife a 590 mariner,... she accused me of buying it for myself, so I had it engraved, triple deep,,...."mommy's little helper" 8+1 and ,...used, but in great shape! I like the heat sheild, I like the ghost ring sights and the stock stocks and pump hand grip Factory Fresh Baby! I got to tell you this thing weighs about 1/2 as much as a saiga 12, and it comes apart, and back together pretty quick with the longest part being the 20" barrel. I am getting the bigger, tactical metal safety too,.. http://www.brownells.com/aspx/ns/store/Pro...ST-590%20SAFETY Edited November 8, 2008 by Gas Giant Quote Link to post Share on other sites

lonerider 1 Posted November 10, 2008 Report Share Posted November 10, 2008 ATI has everything for the Mossburgs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kingjoey 5 Posted November 17, 2008 Report Share Posted November 17, 2008 Lightly sandblast the reciever, not enough to take off the hard anodizing, just enough to roughen the surface a little. It will make the Duracoat bond a lot better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ginkgo-z 0 Posted November 20, 2008 Report Share Posted November 20, 2008 I may have a t-6 stock and pistol grip soon. If my other stock works out ok I will sell you the setup for next to nothing. Let me know I can take pics of it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
7.62smith 1 Posted January 13, 2009 Report Share Posted January 13, 2009 I've had several of these 500/90 variants, one of them was a 28in barrel gun that was in a friends house when it went through a tornado. The barrel was tweaked at the end so I cut it down to 18 3/4in and since it was basically destroyed with rust I gave it to a friend who polished the entire gun with Mothers rim polish and installed a black pistol grip and fore end. This gun still belongs to another friend and besides the every now and again wiping down with WD40 it holds it's shine and looks chrome! I'm pretty sure he polished the receiver and barrel with a buffer ball and a drill. I also owned a 590 way back when, it was the mariner coat gun with ghost ring sights and I can tell you now while those sights were awesome for slug work, they're no faster than a bead or nothing at all when in buckshot range. The latest 500 I own is a 18.5in 7 shot tube model that's blued. The barrel was rusty when I got it so I have to maintain it now and again. It has an ATI top folder and a tri rail fore end that I'm really not sure will be trust worthy when some abuse is thrown to them. The tri rail fore end is nice but I only got it to make the installation of a flashlight easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jdhonda810 29 Posted February 2, 2011 Report Share Posted February 2, 2011 Blackhawk Knoxx Recoil Reducing stock This thing is the shiiit! I got one for my brother for his 870 for christmas..and I'll say: IT WORKS! Makes the low brass rounds feel like shooting a .22 and it's extremely easy to install as well. Plus comes with a thick buttpad that you can also replace with something even nicer. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
