I have a 590 I picked up cheap. Admittedly I never really fell in love with it, I don't like the length of the stock, don't like mossberg actions and just plain never really warmed up to it. I am considering making it a project gun, maybe in electric green duracoat
  Anyway the ghost ring is cranked all the way to one side. How do I adjust it for windage? Also I have thought about putting a surefire fore-end on it (but probably won't) the bayonet lug has to come off for that, right? Do you grind it off, hacksaw ? How do you finish the now exposed metal that is not parkerized?

Aimless, on my590 I had to take the assembly completely off because of a burr on the thread.you should only have to use your thumb, to move the serrated part left or right. Or a quarter in the slot. Do penquins have thumbs? Gary

aimless,
Yes you do have to remove most of the bayo lug in order to keep the light bezel from getting smashed on it when the FG is moved forward. I used a bench grinder cause i thought i could keep most of mine and wanted to take a little off at a time. A file, hacksaw or dremel with a c/o wheel will all work just fine. As for refinishing i just used a sharpie! BTW you can shorten the LOP on those SF stocks by almost an inch with a handsaw and a belt sander. |
