I purchased a 2006 model year Mossberg 500 w/ an Rxxxxxx serial number, which according to Havlin Sales should have the 6.5" action slide and my measurements confirm that it does. I purchased one of their closeout synthetic sets for serial numbers K850xxx and higher (6.5" slide). However, when I tried putting them on today, the forend was clearly too long. Total length is about 9", while the stock wood forend that came on the gun is around 8.25".
My question is...is the synthetic forend that I got really intended for a 7-5/8" action slide? I plan on calling Havlin tomorrow, but first wanted to see if anyone else has run into this issue or may be able to provide some insight. If you have a gun that has a 7-5/8" slide, how long is your forend? Any help would be appreciated.
