Yes, action bars are the same length. Just the forend assembly is shorter.I'm too lazy to pull both guns out my safe right now;
Are action bars the same length on both the 14" and 20"?
In case anybody is wondering;
These kits DO fit Mossberg 500 and Maverick 88 receivers, as well as the 590 and 590A1.
The magazine tube on any of the Mossberg pump shotguns simply unscrews from the receiver.
for serious?
Though I prefer the 590 to the 500, you could have a very inexpensive SBS by going the 500 route. In terms of volume, I think it would be more popular.
It would be Perfect if it was Woodford Reserve instead of the Makers Mark!!
Will the 590 barrel clamp ring support the 500 mag tube and cap though? The sizing looks different.
