Has anyone had one of these factory sight upgrades (http://www.mossberg.com/cgi-bin/commerce.exe?preadd=action&key=95300&reference=/cgi-bin/commerce.exe%3Fsearch%3Daction%26keywords%3D%26searchstart%3D0%26template%3DPDGCommTemplates\MossPdgNav\SearchResult.html%26category%3DSIGH) installed on their shotgun?  Any thoughts?  Pictures?

Also, is it possible to get an extended magazine tube for a Mossberg 500 cruiser?

Thank you ahead of time.

It depends on which model 500 "Cruiser" that you have.....Mossberg has two "Cruiser" models and they have different methods for attaching the barrel to the mag tube....Can you post a pic?

You can't get a magazine extension for that model. You can swap out the entire mag tube for a longer 20" one, but then you will need a new 20" barrel that has the barrel nut mounted further towards the muzzle end....

ETA:

Here is another thread that shows the difference between the two types of mag tubes (The style on your 500 is the top gun in both pics):

Mossberg does make a 500 Cruiser with a 590 style tube. I am not sure why they don't make all their shotguns with the 590 style tubes.....it would make mag extensions and barrel swaps much easier.........
