I replaced the factory synthetic stock/forend on my old 590 (my dad owns it now) with a wood stock/forend. The stock fit fine, but the forend had a bunch of play, so I used some wooden dowels I cut down for shims so it could still be used.
The shims would probably work for awhile, but they also rub against the magazine tube, and it's just a ghetto way of making that forend fit anyway. Looking at midwayusa, hogue makes a forend adapter nut for different length forends:http://www.midwayusa.com/product/64...-nut-required-for-mossberg-6-3-4-forend-tubes
I live an hour and a half away from my parents so I'm unable to measure anything, but does anyone know if that adapter nut thingie will fix this problem?
I do know that when I switched to the wood forend, I had to remove the sidesaddle shell holder from the receiver because the new wood forend was too long and would hit the shell holder before going back far enough to cycle the action.
Also, the wood furntiture that's on it now is supposedly from a stock moss. 500.
thanks
