Mossberg 500 SPX

[VeNoM]

Whats your guys opinions of the Mossberg 500 SPX model?

So far I have seen it run for around $500 or so.

Good reliable shotgun. 500 or Remington 870 and both good choices. SPX model looks awesome. Just wish you could add a magazine extension to the 500.

I agree with you completely about the magazine extension. +2 rounds just sounds so much better when you only get 5+1 to begin with.

I have one, its awesome. Looks aggressive and is surprisingly light. Im going to put a compstock on mine this week to cut back the recoil a bit.

you can, I have, 7 shot 6+1 18.5" barrel

So what magazine did you buy to make that conversion. Looks clean. When I had a 500, I tried looking everywhere for a longer magazine that would work with my 18.5" barrel. No dice. No one makes a magazine extension either, unless you want to do machining work, and make it.

Looks nice...whats the difference between this and the 500A?

Both look the same to me...

magtube was a cut down 7 shot that you would see on a 20" barrel 500. Take down lug was moved forward to accomadate the new magtube length. Barrel and magtube Duacoated. I wanted something that most people do not have, and so far I have not seen another one.

All work was done by King Armory

Mine is stamped ATP8 its basically a 500A

Or my other idea was to instead of the Mossberg 500 SPX is to go for the Remington 870 express tactical and then look to add a pistol grip to it. This way I can get it with a larger magazine.

The Mossberg you have though PRC77 looks very clean though. How much did you spend on it? My only thing is I want my shotgun with a pistol grip.

I paid $175 for the Moss ATP8 20" barrel 8 shot shotgun
I bought a new 18" barrel and 7 shot magtube. $105 ish
Gunsmithing and Duracoat was $180 approx.

If you're looking in that price range, you're better off getting the 590 special purpose with 9-shot capacity.

The pistol grip collapsable stock on the 500SPX is a cheap plastic ATI stock. You're better off getting a Knoxx Spec Ops stock or even a Mesa Tactical stock in the long run.

^Yup its better to get the gun bone stock and then pop on all the doo dads on yourself.
