Tactical Mossberg 500
2 Attachment(s)
Hoping to kit out my Mossberg so it looks more tactical.
Im on a bit of a budget, Here is what I'm thinking of buying. The stock cost $60 and the forend $20. Id appreciate any comments and suggestions. Brownells seems to be an excellent site, but if anyone knows another good site, let me know. Cheers lads. |
Research the brands and make sure their good, not crap, and actually try and see if you can try it, looking badass doesn't help if the gun handles like crap.

seeing if I can try it might be a problem, I live in Ireland :D |
well, brownells has a good rep as a company, but they sell stuff from many companies, like they may have mossberg parts, but they also ay have leapers or something. So search forums for peoples experiences. where you live in ireland? Spent my spring break in killarney.

When it comes to shotguns (or anything for that matter) a minimalist approach is best. If your Mossberg 500 works fine now, there's no sense in changing the furniture on it.

Does irelands laws allow pistol grips, collapsible stocks and the like?

Yes, it is a matter of opinion, so if it already works well in his opinion, nothing should be changed. If he wants something changed because it doesn't work for him, that's fine too, but if he wants to change something to live up to these dumb new age tactical expectations, he might be wasting his money. The parts might not work like he wants them to, or at all, so he could be downgrading. Most guys will tell you that fancy foregrips, rails or collapsible stocks are just money you've put onto your gun and don't increase efficiency, at least not enough to justify cost. If he wants to throw money at his shotgun to make it look cool though, it's his gun and he can do what he wants with it, but 99 percent of the time you don't NEED shotgun "upgrades" like this. Side saddles and buttpads are good, and in a few cases new stocks, but hundreds of dollars in new parts won't change the way the action works or how the gun shoots. Like I said before, take a minimalist approach.
What's the barrel length, magazine capacity and type of furniture(wood or synthetic)? Do you have pictures? It would be good for us to know before we can give any real input on what you do and don't need. |
