Knoxx shock absorbing grip and stock... have yet to fire 00 out of it but they declare it takes out like 80% of the felt recoil... with birdshot you don't feel a thing :thumb:

I've got a 590A1 myself. How'd you get that rail on top? I'd like to mount a small EOTech on mine. Mine has ghost ring sights now.

I've got the SureFire fore end rail system with Falcon low profile rail covers on it and a Streamlight TLR-2 on mine. I also have that Knoxx Spec Ops stock, but with the Power Pak.

That should put the Christmas goose on the dinner table, and bury any uninvited guests.

SWEET!!

Talk about "pimped" out

How is cheek-weld with the optic?

I think you mean "chin-weld"

[toyslr]

pimpin ain't easy!!

[Liveforfunjim]

my 590a1 came with the shorter barrel meaning no bayonet lug, im freakin bummed.... lol

nice mossy u have there!! Side saddle on the other side??

[fooschnickens]

I've always wondered why Knoxx and others don't make their stocks for some of the semi-auto shotties out there.

Hey guys, anyone have a recommendation for a red dot sight? If you're on here, how do you like the AIM, palindari? I put a rail on top of my A1, but haven't ever gotten around to getting a sight - so right now I don't really have any way to aim the damn thing (a rail with a bead sight doesn't work, I'm finding).

[Vortec MAX]

If I had a rail on my 590, I'd have an EOTech XPS on it as fast as I could get one. I like those very much. They are very small.

I put a Burris Fastfire II on my Remington 870 tactical, it works great!

[Gatorr]

Thanks guys. I do like the EoTech's, but I don't think I can afford one anytime soon. The Burris was my next choice, and then I could switch it to my FsN when I get an EA rail mount.

Here are some pics of what it looks like mounted. I tried to get a pic of the red dot, but I really need a better camera!

[fooschnickens]

Turn the flash off, it's hiding the dot.

Nice Mossberg! I just picked up the basic Navy/USMC model 18.5" M590A1 in a trade and put a sidesaddle ammo carrier on it, more stuff to come later. Goes with my older M500 well.

[Gunner]

heres my little hd buddy. all i want now is the receiver mount shell holder and im done. dont want anything crazy, just a light, compact, scattergun. I might put a flashlight on it eventually but i think the laser is a little much unless your shooting bean bag rounds. then that would be cool. and sights are for the birds

[flyingirish04]

Never saw the need for any sites on a shotgun unless you were hunting with birdshot. My 870 had a top folding stock and pistol grips, and that is all I will need. Still looks cool though

[Gunner]

^i agree

I would have a hard time duplicating my 3" 5 shot group at 50 yards using slugs without sights on my Mossy.

we're just talking about hd. hunting is a complete different story.

I wouldn't exactly call my 20" 590A1 (which I shot the group with) a hunting gun. I definitely see the value of a set of ghost ring sights, even if shooting buckshot. I can center all 9 pellets of 00 buck in a 12" circle at 25 yards when I use the sights.

Mike

[flyingirish04]

Too each their own. I can do that without ghost sights at 25 yards. just need standard bb sight. Either way, my SD shotguns are for just that, SD, and need no sights to complicate things. Just point and shoot. I carried a shortie in Iraq, and it was for SHTF situation close quarter. In those situations, buck shot will shoot a wide enough swath to not worry about sights.

Again, it looks cool, but for me, it has no function to put all that on it. Now a slug gun, hunting shottie, or evenM4, or another carbine, I can see the use in all the tacticool accessories and I have utilized them myself. But never with a SD shottie. Just me.

[Gunner]

^+1. i used the 1014 in afghan. nothing tacticool about it. but never felt safer going through a door with it. point and shoot. thats it. I'd like to see you take the time to center anything anywhere when shit's going down.

[Vortec MAX]

I'd like to see you take the time to center anything anywhere when shit's going down.

I'm pretty sure I would just point and shoot under stress. Do you spend the time to line up your "bead?" I can't say I've ever been in an actual shootout (thank God), so who knows, maybe I'd try lining them up while a bad guy empties a clip into my a$$.

I would rather have the sights. I can hit a bad guy, or a deer, at well past 100 yards with a slug, and it will still "point" up close. I have practiced quite a bit with my Mossy and can line the ghost ring sights up as fast as I could sight down the barrel using a bead. I have had Mossbergs with both types of sights and I prefer the GRs.

I have also shot in a police competition that had a shotgun course. You had to knock down a bunch of heavy steel targets at different ranges using 00 buckshot. If you did not hit them perfectly square, they would not go down. I used my Mossy with GR sights and scored a perfect score (one shot each target), and did it very quickly. I certainly don't feel like the GR sights slow me down any.

heres my 590 with a ATI folding stock

[PGT]

Here's my 500 with ghost ring kit. I wish I could shoot it more but the range only allows slugs

[g24ported]
