Just confused so there's 3 sizes then 6-3/4, 7-5/8 and 7-4/4 for example this one on ebay

It's a little confusing but I think the broad range of sizes may have to do with capacity as some are 5 shot and some are 8 shot. I can tell you that on my 5 shot, the 6 3/4 worked with the Hogue adapter nut.

Do the lengths matter or its just a matter or looks

Converting the "Big 5 Special" Mossberg 500 forend will cost a little bit of cash... I think all said and done it was maybe ~$100 in parts (incl. Hogue Stock/Forend) from MidwayUSA.

If the OP hasn't figured it out yet, PM me and I can send you a list of the parts required along with at Hogue Overmolded stock/forend. The factory 1-piece plastic POS is just really loose and feels as cheap as it looks. But that's honestly in the eye of the shooter if they want to swap it out or not. It functions just fine otherwise.

Perfect sense now, yes I like the hogue forend. The 6 inch isn't bad, so with the 6 inch and the hogue nut, I can use whichever forends want

Birds head pg > conventional factory pg

I had the one with the PG and the barrel heat shield (WHY??). It wasn't pleasant to shoot. 3" mag shells were all ways entertaining when someone else tried them for the first time.

Ever fire a 12 gauge with a pistol grip? Magnum loads of 00, argh.

I do not understand why anyone wants a pistolgrip on a shotgun. Useless in my views.

I can understand if it's a stock that has a pistol grip, but pistol grip only? No thanks.

I converted mine to the old style forend. Was $29 from Midway USA. No back order. I had it in a few days. Also, I converted it after I shot thousands or shells through it. I never had a problem with the 1 piece pinned one.

Similar experience. Shot about 1000 rounds through mine then decided I wanted wood furniture so I upgraded buying used parts. Have around 6,000 rounds through it and it runs quite fine.

I have a longer barrel as well, does the size of action tube is there a min I need to get

I'm thinking of getting to this project again but no pistol grip

The size of the action tube only has to do with the forend. The barrel or even the mag tube length does not matter.
