590 A1 with ATI folding stock?
- Thread starter Elkbooger
- Start date
A folding stock on a 20 inch barrelled gun? Not sure how many would have tried that. You'd get a much more shootable (folding stocks on 12 gauge shotguns aren't any fun, and ATI isn't great for ergos) system by simply getting a fixed stock and a 14 inch barrel.

Like he said , top folders are not real fun to shoot a lot.
Having said that, the ATI stock looks wide enough to fit around a GRS , I do know that a Choate top folder will just work with mossberg factory GRS , and the choate is built like a tank , very solid.
Another option to look at , if you want a folder , would be the Mesa stock adapter with a Matador arms sidewinder, add a magpul CTR stock with a limbsaver pad and crosshair recoil buffer, it's a lot easier on the body, if you shoot lots , but gets a little pricey to put together. Lol

Installed a Matador folding adapter, and Surefire pump. Now it's taking shape, just need to order a new Rear Dynamics sling and maybe paint.
Don't know what the complaints are about, I have an ATI top folder on a maverick 88 security 18.5" and its fine to shoot. I do tend to keep it to 2 3/4 when using the pistol grip only and I'm mainly just plinking.
I'm looking to the 590 A1 20" for the bayonet lug and I find that the top folder is more out of the way than a side folder. I'm just not sure if there is enough space in the folding arm to cover the ghost ring site.

Do you just need the width of Mossberg factory GRS to see if they will fit between a ATI topfolder ?
About 27-28mm or 1 1/16" , that's for the outside of the dog ears .
