My Mossberg 590a1 started life with a speed feed stock and a tri-rail forend and XS Ghost Ring Sights.
Then I added a bayonet. 
I had always wanted a heat shield so I bought one for a standard 500 knowing it wasn't going to fit. I thought I could modify it but when I received it - I realized I was going to ruin it if I did. So back into the box and onto the shelf in the closet it went. IIt was not until THIS thread and several PMs with a fellow ARFcommer I had learned Mossberg made a heat shield for the heavy barreled 590a1. Much rejoicing was had when I placed my order. It showed up a few days ago and was installed. 
Several days ago I also talked to another ARFcommer about wood furniture. So off to Numrich I went and ordered some wood furniture. Today it arrived. 
Unfortunately, all is not well. When I opened the package from Numrich I had discovered the forend was damaged. I installed the stock but it just looked weird so I went ahead and installed the damaged forend anyway. 
I contacted Numrich and told them that the forend was damaged with a crack three quarters of the way down the side of it. The woman I spoke to was very nice and told me that they would be sending a new one out free of charge and to just throw the damaged part back. They refused to take the damaged forend back. I also didn't really beli that they were going to send me a new one but I did get an email from them saying they were getting a new one ready to ship. It even showed up on my account. Oddly enough I'm sad that this forend is damaged, it's a very beautiful piece of wood. P.S. Fucking you 500 Zombie Error. |
| Wedge that crack open with a toothpick. Use some dental floss pulled through the crack to get carpenters wood glue as deep in the crack as possible. Pull the toothpick and wrap with some surgical tubing or elastic. If you got the glue in and the crack pulled tight, it will be stronger than original tomorrow. |

I use epoxy and some packing shrink wrap. I'm going to do that. My replacement forend should be here either today or tomorrow. When it gets here I'll attempt fixing the cracked one. Quoted:

Here's my 590A1 Trench Gun
Mossberg should start making these for sale. I think that they would sell. When I installed the Front End of the Heat Shield, I spread the legs a bit so it would not scratch the barrel, then used channel lock pliers (with Duct Tape on the Jaws) to bring the legs closer together. I then used 1 LONG 6/32 Nut & Bolt (with the Spacer installed) to bring the Legs together enough to use the Stock Mossberg Nut & Bolt on the other Hole, once that was holding, I un-did the Long Nut & Bolt and then affixed the other Mossberg Nut & Bolt to the Second hole, then tightened everything up for good using Blue Loctite.

Attached File " />" /> I did the same thing but took it one step more and made a custom bayonet for it! Fit a m7 to a p1907 enfield bayonet! Attached File Started life as this! And ended up as this..... Attached File |

Can you get a stupid long bayonet for that like some of the ones on the old Winchester trench guns? I was thinking about taking one of those Reproduction 16" Bayonet's and seeing if it's possible to modify it to M16 Bayonet Spec's to work on these Mossberg 590A1 Trench Guns. Looks like a new Project has been born.[i][/i] |

That is awesome. |

BMHSSG, I don't think that I'd shoot Slugs with that Bayonet attached. It might slice them in half.
It does curve up slightly but I have shot every kind through it and have had no issues..... the evil paper people fear me when I run at them with the blade on the shotty! |
