I have an 18.5" 590 (50778) for home defense with Magpul furniture and an S&J extension and I love it. I was thinking about how it would be cool to have additional barrels for hunting, but barrels that work with the 590/835 mag tube interface are pretty expensive and hard to find.
I also thought about buying a 500 mag tube and swapping it onto my 590; then I could use all the 500 barrels. Has anyone done this? It seems like the least expensive and easiest way to go. I also thought about just buying a 500 but then I would need to buy a new stock or swap the stock every time I want to switch tasks. If I had a 500 mag tube I could quickly and easily swap between barrels while using the same stock and changing the LOP and cheekweld with spacers.
