Does anyone know of a source for Mossberg factory/OEM heat shields for the 14" barrel? Midway and Brownells both have them in stock. But one that fits the 14" barrel? I can't seem to find them listed by length. The one that came off of my donor PGO 500 is too long. My heat shield is from a 590, and the barrel is cut down 18.5. So I am not sure if it will work on the factory 14 barrel and tube. As seen above |
|
Maybe I just wasn't looking carefully enough when I laid the heat shield out by the new 14" barrel. I'll check again. Or maybe it was because I've got ghost ring sights on mine.

Mine is a cut down 500. That lil magazine tube made the dif. that lil guy looks fucking sweet tho Can you weld cut a section out in the middle and weld it back .. I have no clue if it would work but I am dumb enough to try hahaha |

Oh, of course, I'd hacksaw it neatly with a jig and tape so it was neat and square, then dress it with a mill file.
But what then? I trim it at the front, and the clamp with the two bolts is gone. I trim it at the rear, and the spring "C" clamp that grabs the rear by the breech is gone. |

Ah, I gotcha. Why were you going to put a bayonet on it? View Quote Wat? No bayonet. The 14" 590 barrel assembly doesn't have the lug or the length even if I wanted a bayonet.

I may succumb to the desire to Tapcofuck my more ridiculous range toys, but by golly I'm going to do it with decent OEM parts whenever possible and not uh... Tapco ones, I guess. But seriously, any extra weight I can add to it is welcome to mitigate recoil. If the parts look at least somewhat correct to other variants Mossberg makes, that's all the better. |

Is there any clearance between the barrel and the heat shield? Chop out a center section and then brace/reinforce it with a conduit or other thin steel pipe/tubing as a gusset via rivets underneath the shield. I've never had a heat shield so I have no idea how much room you have. |

I don't have any welding capability. I thought of too. View Quote Take it around to local shops that possibly do welding. Before that's what I used to do, just take the shield in and explain.

(F) "Sawed-off firearm" means a shotgun with a barrel less than eighteen inches long, or a rifle with a barrel less than sixteen inches long, or a shotgun or rifle less than twenty-six inches long overall.
Under Ohio law an SBS or SBR with an OAL greater than 26 inches is legal per the state. This Firearm would be a shotgun under Ohio law. It is legal as the definition says "or" rather than "and" like the NFA. |

It is an NFA item. I thought the whole point was that it WAS NOT an NFA item?? That one is sold specifically as a NFA AOW. It is sold without pistol grip, so as shipped from them it is a smoothbore under 26", and so is an AOW. To add the funny pistol grip, you have to start with a 26" shotgun, add the grip, then swap the bbl. AOW tax stamps are $5, but you have the same wait as any other NFA item. |

Shot mine today
Oly crap , recoil is brutal with 3 inch loads First off I am no nancy boy, I shoot 454 , 44 mags all the time no problem I shoot 12 gauges with no recoil pads This thing literally rips itself out of my weak hand and needs gripped in an unconvention manner It has a purpose but fun shooting at the range isn't one of them. Definitely a niche weapon |
|
I'm curious to see how it functions with my "birdslugs". 1oz Lee Foster cast slugs, trap wad, low brass birdshot hull, and 17gr of Hi-Skor 700-X. In theory it kicks less than Federal 100rnd 1-1/8tho #8 3dram bulk pack from Wallyworld, but is still a world of hurt bigger than most any handgun round.
It's a nice low pressure load I've been using in my Saiga 12s for mag dumps and cheap plinking at my gun club, because they don't allow shot on the range as it tears up the backstops and hangers too fast. |
|
I found that using the push pull technique works best for this type of weapon.it takes some getting used to.
