So recently I bought a stock and forend for my Mossy 500 shotgun, from Marstar Canada, guys did a great job, I received the package in less than one week.Pretty speedy and its awesome, Thumbs up for Marstar.
I installed the new stock on my Mossy, and of course, done! a piece of cake.
However, the new forend was trying to be the pain in the @ss, its way too long than my slide tube!
like what I used to do, unscrewed the tube, take the forend and the tube apart, put the tube into the new forend, and oops, I couldnt screw the tube!
the forend is long, and stops the tube and the tube ring from being together.
so I went to the internet for help, and I learned that, the old Mossy 500 uses the 7-3/4" action slide tube, however, the newly one uses a shorter version, the 6-3/4" action slide tube.
the tube stucks into the forend, in which I have no problem pushing it backward, but when I pull it forward, the forend fells off from the tube,
so I just can't finish a cycle of pumping.
and to solve the problem, they told me that I should go to Brownell or elsewhere to purchase a 7-3/4" tube------for $60+shipping!
nobody is ripping me off like this, I ain't got money for that!
so I figured out a new way to deal with it, for $0.02, costed a nail, and here it is:
I went to the range and fired 100 buckshots thru it already, it is smoothy still, that nail is doing a great job!
I don't know that am I the only one who experiences this problem, but I write it down anyways, for those who owns a Mossy and faces this problem in the future, here is always a option that costs you the less.
