vf1000ride Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Picked up a new dual purpose shotgun this week. Mossberg 500a, 28" vent rib barreled gun that was used but I got a good deal on it with 4 choke tubes and it looked almost new.And just because I can't leave anything well enough alone. After 20 minutes of fiddling with it tonight, it is now a 20" with the 7 shot mag tube and 6 position M-4 style stock with a recoil damper in it.Oh, and I am so ready for any kind of shit.

Gixxus Christ! Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Sick, did the furniture come with the zombie hunter stuff on it? I would complete the look with a heat shield on the barrel and maybe a fiber optic bead on the front sight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted November 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Yep, purchased it that way. Its a Phoenix Technology stock set. Got it from http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=44384/sku=100-007-520/Product/Moss-500-590-835-Zombie-Hunter-KickLite-StockHeat shield is still an option for the next paycheck along with a front mounted light. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted November 5, 2011 Report Share Posted November 5, 2011 Too bad I have a maverick 88 and not an actual mossberg 500. Aftermarket stocks won't fit it. I had a genuine mossy but I sold it to help finance my fzr600 purchase Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vf1000ride Posted December 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2011 So as an update, I got the light for my shotgun. Looks mean and works like a champ. Got the Streamlight TLR-1s and an aluminum tri-rail mount.And a closeup.I am sure most peoples next question is how does it look when turned on. I set the camera on manual so both images are at exactly the same exposure. The camera and light are side by side 14 feet from the wall.You can see the shadow at the ceiling from the mag tube getting in the way but until I buy the remote pressure pad for the light it will be good enough. The best part of keeping it this way though is you just loosen it up and it latches right down on the XD without having to change anything.

Beegreenstrings Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 I know I had a Surefire on my last AR set-up. After getting the TLR2s from "King" i use that thing on ever gun I have with a rail. The TLR lights are awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8mmDale Posted December 5, 2011 Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 That's quite the transformation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vf1000ride Posted December 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2011 That's quite the transformation!I probably have spent a little more on this than if I had just purchased a ready made 500-590 series gun set up like mine is now. It just didn't seem like they had the right combination of features I wanted. The extra cash was worth being able to mix and match parts so I could have it my way. And the extra bonus that if I ever want to take the gun back out in the field for a day of clays or hunting, I can swap the old parts back on in about 35 minutes.
