Mossberg forend problem...help!

[r8dr rider]

I recently changed the forend to my Mossberg 500 18 1/2" barrel, special purpos. It has the long forend thats not compatible with a side saddle. When put on the new forend (shorter Mossberg brand) the nut wasnt long enough to secure it. What do I do?!

What do you mean "the nut wasn't long enough to secure it"? What size action tube do you have? Is this a Big 5 combo shotgun?

It sounds like your action tube is not long enough for your new forend. That is all I can gather from what you're saying.

Pictures/more info would help.

Good luck.

the nut doesnt reach the threads on the action tube when i put the new forend on. pics wont help cuz you cant really see it. the original forend sits a bit deeper for the nut to attach.

Can't be 100% sure but yeah, sounds like your action tube is too short for your forend. Measure the action tube in inches.

Halvin has good prices for mossberg parts, you have the wrong combo of action tube and forend from the sounds of it, there are two different lengths, as you will see on their site.
