Mossberg Thunder Ranch
Hey all, long story short, my older brother borrowed my Mossberg 590A1. He fell in love with it and talked me into letting him keep it providing he replace it with a new one. So I'll have a "NEW" 590A1 coming soon.
In the mean time I decided to purchase another Mossberg to hold me over, sort of an excuse to buy another one and decided to buy the Thunder Ranch just for the fun of it.
Took it the range and it performed flawlessly. Since then I changed a few things.
1. Replaced the buttstock with an ATI Talon Tactical Six Position Adjustable Shotgun Stock w/Scorpion Recoil System. My wife handles the shotgun very well with the stock full collapsed. I need it extended 3 positions out for me to find it comfortable. So the ATI worked out great.
2. Replaced the original mag spring with a Wolff Extra Power mag spring.
I have installed a Magpul AFG1 Angled Foregrip (AFG). It puts my hand in a natural position when I grab it, not horizontal like when you grab the forend.
The things I ordered yet to put on, AIMPRO Tactical Heat Shield, just for the fun of it. The other heat shields didn't fit the Thunder Ranch because it has a wider barrel than your typical Mossbergs 500's. The Thunder Ranch has a 500 receiver but a 590 barrel and the only heat shield that fit it correctly was the AIMPRO Tactical Heat Shield. I'm debating which safety to purchase to replace the plastic one, the Vang or the Brownell's, not sure yet.
I got a TacStar sidesaddle as a gift but I was looking to get the Mesa sidesaddle so I don't know if I'll use TacStar.
Here is what she looks like now:
