Great pick up! Really the only thing I could think to do to this still, (and this is only because I tinker with everything) is I would search for a used flashlight fore end. Streamlight and Surefire both make them. I like the stream light design.

Yes. It drives me up the wall that the 18 1/2 inch Mossberg 500 Can’t hold an extra shell.

Thanks man! It took a while to find one that’s factory for a decent price that wasn’t beaten to crap.

Very nice!

I’m a Mossberg 500 and 590A1 man myself as I much prefer the safety location, but the 870/series of shotguns are great shotguns and that one looks great!!

I agree the safety on the mossbergs are personally I find superior. It was tough to decide between the police or the 590.. I mean out of the box this thing is smooth as glass, sorry to hear about your right eye man, it’s amazing that you’ve taught yourself to shoot ambidextrous.

Thanks. Yeah, when I started losing more sight in my right eye (Glaucoma), I started working on shooting left handed as well. It was a long process and I still have decades of muscle memory I have not fully trained out yet, like when I’m walking to the deer blind I automatically go to à right handed as well carry with my rifle, then have to switch to a left handed as well carry. lol.

I actually shoot better groups left handed with rifle and pistol than I ever did right handed, because I have to put a little more thought into it to make sure I’m correct.
