Hogue OverMolded Rubber Shotgun Stock & Forend Kit for Mossberg 500, 590A1, 510 Mini, Maverick 88 (12 Gauge), Black - 05012

First, without reading the reviews here I probably would have not ordered the adapter nut and been in bind, but since I did I knew to measure the forend with the grip off and since mine was 6 3/4" long, I knew to order the adapter nut. I ordered this since my old forend cracked down the middle. Removing the old stock was easy, used a socket with an extension to remove the stock screw and channel lock players to remove the forend nut. Just reversed the process to install the new parts. Everything fit well, there are no gaps or overlaps, just looks like it was built that way. I took it out and shot three rounds of skeet and it handled as well as before. Going from low ready to the shoulder in a hurry is a bit more difficult due to the grabby nature of the stock material, but I usually call for the target with the gun mounted to my shoulder so it isn't a problem. The balance does not feel any different, and shooting doubles is actually easier since I don't grip the forend, I just rest it on my left hand and work the action with friction, and there is now more friction to work with. It took a little getting used to, and I can't say my scores have improved any due to the new stock, but I will keep practicing and hope to make a few 25's this year. All in all I am very happy with the stock and forend. I wasn't planning in purchasing this, but necessity dictated and I am very pleased with the results. I would be happy to recommend the Hogue Shotgun Stock and Forend kit. Just make sure you measure the forend before ordering, 6.75 inches requires the adapter nut.

Very nice stock. This one is the full size stock not the short one. Very happy.

This is a great upgrade over the stock Mossberg 500 stock and forend. Its a comfy, non slip grip and looks great. Installed on an old Mossberg 500A 12 gauge and fit on perfectly. Some 500's will need an adapter nut, I lucked out and did not. Thanks to other reviews on here, the length of my stock forend was same as this Hogue so no need of the adapter. These are pretty cheap to buy compared to other sets out there. Great value, and it feels great. I'm not a fan of pistol grips or folding stocks so this was exactly what I wanted. I have the Magpul stock and forend set on my Remington 870 12 guage and I like this set just as much, however this is not modular like that one, can't adjust it or add sling attachments. Great value, great set up, no complaints!

So after reading some of the reviews I started not to buy this thing. I picked up a Mossberg 500 pistol grip for cheap and wanted a full stock on it. If you browse some of the reviews, people go into more detail about the problems, so I will just list them. Oh, and here is a pretty good hack for any 12 gauge model if your the handy type. Instead of buying a 25$ forearm wrench for a specific model, that your only going to use once, go to the hardware store and buy a 3/4 inch, PVC pipe coupler fitting, or T-fitting for around 50 cents. It will fit perfect over your mag tube, mark the notches from the nut (usually 2) on the fitting, and then drimmel, or saw out your notches to fit, give it a good turn with a pair of pliers or channel locks and your forearm nut should come right off, most aren't tighten down alot. Issue 1-The forearm guild tube has to be a certain length or the forearm won't fit without an adapter nut, I think the right length was 4 3/4" but I'm not sure off the top of my head, it was the bigger of the two, Amazon carry's the adapter if you have the smaller one. I measured, and mine happened to be the right length. Issue 2-If you had a pistol grip format to begin with, you don't have the right sized bolt to attach the stock. I saw someone mention that Mossberg would send you one for free, yeah, that's bogus. I called Mossberg, and after being on hold for literally 45 minutes, I was told that I had to be the original owner of the gun, and that it had to still be under warranty for a free part, otherwise it's 6$ for the part, and 6$ for shipping, and wait 2 weeks. Do yourself a favor and go to any hardware store and get a course tread, 5.5 inch long, 5/16 tread bolt, one washer, and one lock washer, for a grand total of around 40 cents. You need a 1/2 socket with a 6 inch extension to put it on. I think it's pretty crappy on Hogue's part not to put a probably 20 cent wholesale part in with the item. I was aware of these issues before I bought the item. All and all I really like the item, other than the issues listed, good value. Their are a few thing that I don't like about the item itself, but aren't major. The rubberized part on the stock only goes up to the pistol grip on the stock, and not the full stock. And the beefy part of the stock is completely hollow, even tho it's made with pretty sturdy plastic, it might be cracked if stepped on or something like that, just thought it could use a structural support bar going down the middle or something. I'm happy with the purchase.

This is perfect for my mossberg 500. I was new to shotguns when I bought mine,,, it had the 6 position adjustable stock w/ pistol grip which has its place and advantages amongst shotguns, but I dont think Mossberg should have made it an option on their guns due to the placement of the safety which is on top of the receiver. Using the stock that I bought it with made manipulating the safety cumbersome since I had to remove my grip to reach the safety. My fault completely, I should have done more research before my purchase. Anyway,,, this stock solves that problem quickly. Another upgrade is the recoil pad... WAY thicker than the one that came on the ATI stock. Havent fired it yet but I can pretty much forsee there being no more brusing after a trip to the range. Installing the buttstock was pretty easy. I took the advice of another reviewer and bought the bolt from Home Depot, cut it down from 6" to 5.5",,, used the provided washer and had no problems. Stock is snug as a bug. I guess I got lucky with the forend. I read that with newer Mossy's the slide tube was shorter and didnt match requiring an adittional part from houge. Not the case with mine. I used a pair of channel locks with a couple peices of duct tape to remove the forend nut... forend slid on, tightened the nut until it was snug and gave it an additional 1/4 turn and it seems to function as if it were stock. Extrememly happy with this kit and would recommend it to anyone looking to upgrade, or anyone with a pistol grip / adjustable stock that has problems effectively manipulating the safety.

This will not fit a Mossberg 500 you can get the butt stock on but you will not get the foregrip on at all not without modifications and extra parts

This fit perfectly on my Mossberg 500 cruise. The four grit matched up perfectly and the birthstock and installed without too many issues. The only thing that wasn’t included in the packaging was a 5/16 x 18, 5 1/2 inch bolt to connect the butt stock to the receiver.

Grippy, comfortable, and reliable. A solid, dependable replacement/upgrade for stock furniture. The only thing to be aware of is the rubber isn't immune to chemicals. Some products like bug spray can harm the rubber. So do a quick bit of research if you're dousing yourself with mosquito repellent before shouldering the shotgun and taking aim.
