what special version of the 500 do you have? i don't need to improvise anything. i hold the receiver with one hand and pinch the bars with my other hand... no fancy tool needed... and definitely not a pain in the ass.To take the foregrip stock off. The whole assembly will slide off the mag tube when you pull the bolt and squeeze the action bars. You can improvise something to pop it off too but the right wrench makes it less of a pain in the ass.
Thanks for the replies. The date of my Mossberg is March 2012 and it was purchased August 2012.The video gives a rough idea. The guy, well, isn't that bright. But he gets the job done. Just weird to say that he would be without a shotgun for a while because this grip didn't work was retarded to say the least. I swapped 2 different forends without any tools other than the one to take the nut off. Anyways, I suggest knowing what year your shotgun is, they came with different foregrips in different years. After that, maybe make sure that the nut isn't going to seat inside of the grip, so you don't have to fight with it like this guy did.
i doubt you'll have any problems. i believe the issues with years is that older model 500s won't take the newer model parts.Thanks for the replies. The date of my Mossberg is March 2012 and it was purchased August 2012.
Will I have any difficulties swapping out forends?
Also wondering if you guys know where I could find those OEM mossberg forends with the hand-sling on it.
Thanks.
Ah, swapping forends. I know a couple Mossy armorers that have the special wrenches for it. If I was doing it, an allan wrench across the nut in the cuts and a vice or friend would be my way.Thanks for the replies. The date of my Mossberg is March 2012 and it was purchased August 2012.
