Where to find a Mossberg 500 take-down screw?

[enchantor]

I've looked everywhere and can't seem to find a replacement take-down screw for my Mossberg 500. I damaged the threads while removing it during a refinishing project. Help!!!

The long stock screw or magazine cap screw?

Mag cap screw (the big one that holds the barrel on):
Not sure where you are, Turner's in Pasadena has a few different kinds in stock...with sling mount, etc.

I tried calling Mossberg but it auto-disconnects you when you press the button to speak with customer service/parts....

But I think I fixed my issue, for now at least. I ran a 7/16 fine threaded nut over it (elbow grease required) and it cleaned up the threads enough for it to function. This'll do for now.

If you need it fast, just order the Uncle Mike's sling swivel set for the Mossberg 500. It is a little expensive at around $30.00, but it comes with the barrel screw and a small bolt to go through it where you can attach a sling swivel.

I used the one in my package on old rebranded Mossberg 500 and it fits both old and new models.

Here is the only link I could find which shows the right one http://www.tjgeneralstore.com/shotgun_swivels.htm , and that one is pricey at $33.00, but Cabelas has them one sale right now for $24.94. They don't show the right image, but you will get the right one if you order for Mossberg 500.
