Ammo for both, that's it.
Maybe for the 590A1 the safety, but nothing else. |

Quoted:
I'm looking to purchase a few spare parts for my 590a1, Can anbody out there tell me which parts seem to break the most? parts that one wishes they had spare parts for the 590a1, or always seem to need extra of. I'm buying extra gun parts for my guns from Brownells, If so can you list them in order thank you in advance. WC6 PS. I know people would also be intrested in the Remmy 870 also, WildChild–– I had an idea to make this very same post just the other day. The 590A1 seems like a pretty robust design, but let's maybe refine the query into: what spares are advisable for long-term hard use––TEOTHAWKI armed with with the 590A1––vs. what parts might conceivably break with casual range use. I've heard that the mag spring could use an upgrade to a Wolf spring (true or false?) and that spare parts for the safety are a good idea because owing to Mossberg's design a broken safety will render the shotgun totally inoperable (true or false?). What about extractor/ejector/firing pins? I'm all ears. ––Eight_Ring |

You will wear out the trigger pin hole before you break a part. Get a magazine spring as the ones Mossy ships are frail.

The factory spring on the 9 shot 590A1 is about 22 inches and is very weak. I bought an 870 +2 extension spring and put that one in mine. |

I actually use my factory Mossberg 590A1 spring in my 870P when I don't use an extension; otherwise I would of just threw it away. |

I replaced my plastic safety with an over sized metal one & dropped in an after market mag tube spring.
I purchased a spare firing pin & spring but havent needed them so far. I didnt buy the firing pin due to any known issues. I have a spare pin & spring for all of my weapons. Firing pin & spring are available through www.gunpartscorp.com for around $30. |

I use the wolf x power mag spring its the best,I agree the mossberg factory spring sucks.I have a spare Bolt and spare trigger housing although those are 500 model parts they fit and function fine.So until I can get 590A1 spares of those 2 types those will suffice.

The part I've most replaced over the years include: Safety button, plate, spring and detent ball. Ejector and screw (the screw comes loose and the ejector falls out) Magazine spring I could count on one hand the number of firing pins, extractors, and trigger groups than have needed replacement. |
