Hey all, got a question that I'm searching to find an answer to.
First off I've got a Mossberg 500(I believe its the persuader/cruiser combo) that's the 5+1 short mag tubeversion with the sealed end that prevents from extending the tube. I'm trying to add the Magpulforend and am running into some trouble. My shotgun came with the cheapo newer version of an action slide tubethat was built into the stock forend. Its the all plastic checkered forend type.
I bought the required 7 5/8" action slide tubeto replace the one I've got, along with the Magpulparts. Have been able to get the barrel separated from the stock and action, and have replaced everything according to specs. I can get the gun put back together and passes a function test, until I try and reinstall the barrel. Its almost as if the barrel is too big to fit back on top of the magpulparts. I can't get the barrel to even line up properly to re-install unless I have the pump as far out as possible. Then, I can only get the gun to rack maybe 1/4" before it gets "stuck". Am I missing something here? Or did I install incorrectly? I'm a bit stumped as everything works until the barrel gets re-installed.
Thanks in advance for your help.
