Havlin sales has a lot of mossberg stuff. The 835 barrel will fit a 590a1.

Numrich, ebay; some parts are scarce (mag tubes IME). Good luck.

I have a Mossberg 500 receiver, and a Maverick 88 receiver, both bought stripped, both currently in various stages of assembly.
My experience once I had them is that it turned out to be cheaper to buy a new gun than to complete either of these, but that was prior to this current panic. Barrels are currently expensive/hard to find if you're looking for anything defense-based, 18.5" and 20" barrels are getting $250+ right now secondhand and backordered for months on any of the parts sites. Small parts can be found on eBay or gunbroker, but you're likely not going to be assembling a functioning shotgun for <$400 or a correct 590 with used parts for <$750. Do what I did and tuck it in the back of the safe and check the classifieds every few months for parts. |

The only way I believe you could come out financially ahead there is:
transfer it to your Favorite SOT/07 Have them AOW it and transfer it to you for $5 (instead of the $200 you'd pay to SBS or AOW yourself) Build it as like 8" barrel Otherwise if you're trying to do just a basic build it would cost more than it should in good times, let alone now. Your other option is to list it on GB as a Mossberg shotgun. Spell out that it's just the receiver but since it's still the gun it will need to ship to FFL. Price it lower than any other on there. I would imagine you could sell it quickly to someone that has either been waiting with the parts to do this or someone who's not reading the whole descriptions in adds. |

The correct trigger guards are near unobtanium, when you do find them(there are 3 variants, most anything after the 90s uses type 3 unless you want aluminum) they are $100 a pop
Barrels are unobtanium unless you want to pay $350 a pop Other than that between havlin(cheapest but doesn’t have everything currently in stock) and midway you can source all the parts you need except as noted above |

That's why I ended up with 2 stripped receivers, before I found out they had to be virgin receivers to be turned into AOWs. |

Just talked to mossberg CS the other day.
They won't sell you trigger groups, bolts, or safety parts without some proof of "competency" like an armorer cert or gunsmith license. They do have most small parts and barrels in stock. |

Parts sets pop up on Gunbroker fairly often, but pricey expecially these days.
