Mossberg 500 Heatshield

[SixPointEight]

So when I bought my gun I had the opportunity to buy it with a heat-shield and a strap on the foregrip. I've been looking for both, and I can't even find the foregrip strap anywhere. Do I have to replace the entire foregrip for that? And second, the heat-shield. I've found a ton of 'Universal' heat-shield kits, but we all know universal never REALLY means universal. So I'd rather pay a little extra for the Mossberg manufactured one. Does anyone know where I can find these?

Actually ebay works for the foregrip strap too. I bought this one:

I just drilled some small holes, then screwed them in. It works great!

Could we have an up close pic of how this worked out?
I'm looking to do the same thing myself.

[Malladawg]

Sure. I read somewhere that someone felt that the stock strap was a little too far forward, so I put the back end of the strap closer to the rear.

I hope this helps.

What is the point of a forearm strap?

[Hayashi Killian]

Carrying and it helps you to ensure you have a hard grip on the forward slide. The grip on my Mossberg is good but if I had sweaty or wet hands I know I would lose my grip more often.

I think you can just use some landyard and cut it to size and screw it into the forend.

Oh boy....So I broke my beadsight, gonna have it taken out by a gunsmith, does anyone know any good replacements? I was thinking like a fiber optic sight for it just because. As long as its something that's gonna stay put.

[Hayashi Killian]

I would recommend simple leaf/post sights or ghost rings.

I've been thinking about this. A standard replacement bead is about $4, but if that will stay put then I'll be happy with it. It will be much easier to see than a standard bead I think
