Mossberg 500 trigger guard

[Keeperfaith]

Hello, I have a Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun and the trigger guard/housing has broken tabs on the front inside portion of it. These broken tabs cause the trigger housing to slouch down and the forend won't lock into place when racked forward.

I was searching ebay/brownells/midway usa/numrich for a new trigger housing. The downside is they are about 70-100 bucks and everyone is out of stock. However on Numrich's site I stumbled upon this:

It is a repair kit for the trigger guard and I'm not sure what exactly its supposed to repair. Does anyone know? Has anyone ever bought one? If so please let me know. The picture displayed on the link doesn't really give much insight as to what exactly it repairs.

Thanks
Steve

That's pretty common. With the repair kit, you slot the guard, then epoxy the tab in place. Pretty simple.

A buddy of mine gave his mossy 500 to fix and i found the trigger housing tabs broken or worn down in the front too.

i recommend that he buy a new housing assy and put shade tree mechanic type fixes to bed.

$70 dollars for a new PLASTIC housing? or $7 dollars for metal tabs (like they should have been in the first place.)
