Hey guys, I just purchased a mossberg 590, and thought it would be a great idea, to learn how to strip my shotgun, and install my shiny new surfire lamp on the gun.
After a great video on youtube, with directions, I was able to strip that bad boy and put her back together. I even figured out how to remove the plastic cover that goes over the grip.

Problem though, I cant use the gun, because the light hits the bayonet lug.
My surefire says it will fit the 500/590 series, so I assumed it would work.

Any ideas? or am I stuck removing the lug with a good ol hacksaw?

post a pic of the barrel with the light. Is it possibly to dremmel a small area of the bayonet lug to allow the light to sit in a recess?

Buy an off-set adaptor to lower the light in the forend, usually used on the MP5 when using a suppressor
 
...or you could buy a bayonet :D .

Its all good boys, I hacked it off, and the boys at Hunters were very kind, they polished it all up, and treated the metal, so it looks Factory again!
I will post pictures when I get a chance. I just wish I could find a way to post pictures like you guys, I have a photobucket account, but I can only link with them, not actually post the picture.
