Mossberg 500A Forearm

[TonyMang_89]

i searched and only got more confused then before i started.

i have a big 5 mossberg with the two barrels, from what i can tell it has the maverick 88 style action tube thing or whatever because there is no tube and no nut

what do i have to do/buy to put a different forearm on there that will clear a side saddle?

thanks guys

You have to get a new slide tube assembly, I got one online for like 40 bucks.

Bingo. I had to get the 7 3/4" action slide assembly and castle nut in order to use a Mako Picatinny forend/Hogue forend.

by chance does anyone know where you can find the forearm that is on the 500 tactical?

been searching and coming up with nothing

Look at the Hogue forend, very popular forend for TAC shotguns. Has a nice gripy feel to it, very comfortable.
