Sling setup for Mossberg 500

[jdouglas]

I'm going to be picking up a Mossberg 500 (with the 20" barrel and 7+1 tube or whatever it is) this coming weekend.

What do I need to buy/do in order to get a sling setup where I can wear/carry the shotgun in front, stock just below my right shoulder, and barrel pointed down and towards my left side?

(Much like an AR-15 setup, with the side sling mount on the barrel and the sling loop in the M4 style stock right below the buffer tube.)

I'm probably going to have to buy a different stock most likely.

Look here, excellent slings. I have a single point on my Mossberg 500.

Yes Spectergear makes nice slings. I have a 2 point on my 930 Blackwater. Drawback on the single point is that if have to run or fast walking presenting your handgun the shotgun with no hands on contact will crack you in the gonads. 2 or 3 point are better IMO.

depends on how much you want to spend. you can utilize the stock buttstock mount and get a bayonet lug or mag tube hook. slings are cheap for this probably $15.

I do not like a single point sling for the Mossberg. Just too heavy with the goodies on it.

I think I'd rather have a two-point sling.

It would be more for extended walking/hiking situations rather than tactical, but I do think it would be nice to have it "at the ready" if possible. I could probably get away with it slung over my back, but it'd be nice to be able to carry a backpack there instead, and a shotgun in front where I could quickly access it if needed.
