bought a mossberg 590A1 now I need to tacticool it out

[proraptor]

9 more days till I get my mossberg 590A1 with ghost ring sights....

I need a bayonet for the front where can I get one cheap??

I also want to get a heat shield...which one is the best?

I guess I also need a side saddle....Is Mesa Tactical the way to go?

Thanks

Bayonet can be either M7 or M9.

Can't use factory heat shiled.

I found that the side saddle got in the way and just made the shotgun bulky. I just used the speed feed stock and keep 4 rnds in the stock.

Heat shield won't fit because the barrel is oversized. Actually I haven't seen any vendor that sells a heat shield for the 590A1 barrels.

Have the Mesa on my 870 and really like it. Those speed feed stocks that hold shells are notorious for dropping shells. Maybe they've improved the design since, but they were well known for having that problem.



It's a very well made shell holder...

Thats weird cause they had another 590A1 there (no ghost ring sights) that had a factory heat shield installed on it....I also searched google images and saw a coupl that had the ghost ring sights with heat shields....I wonder which one they are using....

I think Ill go with mesa tactical for the side saddle...Not sure if I want 6 round or 8 round though what do you think?

The speed feeds are ok but this i my zombie/home defense gun and Im going to need more than 4 extra shells. I also didnt like the grip are of those stocks as they are rough and feel kind of cheap...

I stil need to find a bayonet for it....

I really like my ATI "M4 style" stock on my 500
you can get the ATI side saddles that attach to the stock plus the regular side saddle, then even buy the sling that has shell holders... Talk about loaded for Anti-Zombies....LOL... Add a couple of bandoliers and a belt

ATI also makes the fold over the top stock as well, I believe you can add a shell holder to that...

Don't forget the surefire light, then a laser mount....

Seriously though.... I thought the 590A1 came with a heat shield....
The 590's I saw for sale at Big 5 had heat shields, but maybe those weren't A1's.

My understanding is the factory heat sheet will not fit the milspec 590A1 due to the heavy barrel. They do fit the std 590 which does not have a heavy barrel. This is also the reason why other mossberg barrels will not fit the 590A1.

If it was shiny looking and didnt say 590A1 on the side than it was just a regular 590. They do make a 590 A1 with a heat shield but no ghost ring sites (which are a must).

I know the 590A1 does have a heavier duty barrel (larger diameter) but if you search google images there are a couple pics of people with the model I bought and a heat shield....weird...Maybe I will contact mossberg about this and ask them....

I don't think this is correct as I have never seen a milspec A1 with a heat sheild. The Mossberg site currently only has one heavy barrel model and it does not come with a sheild. My 2000 Mossberg LEO cataloge for milspec heavy barrel models also does not contain any versions with a factory sheild, and at the time, Mossberg mentioned the sheilds don't fit the heavy barrel versions. Maybe things have changed or there are after market versions. Please keep us posted as I would like to add one to an A1.

The ones I saw were parkerized (I think that's what it's called) The flat non-shiny color. But your right, now thinking about it, no ghost ring...

I bought an M7 bayo with scabbard on ebay for $15 shipped.

Be careful of the Surefire front end, IIRC, the bayonet attachment gets in the way of the flashlight. Someone chime in if I'm incorrect

I read somewhere that the light can bite you if you don't hold it right using a Knoxx stock. Something about having to hold it an inch and a half behind the light?

+1 Yeah I read that too

That is correct. On mine, I would have to dremel off the lug or something before the surefire could be attached. I think Surefire's site mentions that the bayo lug is in the way and requires modification to the firearm.
