6 3/4" forend interchangable with the 7 5/8"?
Hello, new guy here coming from shotgunworld.com. Thought I'd ask this here since it's specific to Mossbergs.
The 500 in question is a JIC Mossberg Mariner.
I purchased an ergo 3 rail forend from midway. Unfortunately I have the 7 5/8" action assembly tube that this will not fit on or in. Didn't see any details on midways site and didn't realize it until I saw the packaging once it arrived.
My easy solution is to find the ergo 3 rail long version that fits my tube but midway does not stock them and they seem to be discontinued as ergo grip does not even sell them directly.
So my question is will the 6 3/4" assembly tube fit and function on my 500? I have scoured google and this site for the answer but all I kept seeing was that the pinned forends will interchange. Mine is not the pinned but simply the longer version. I would like to know if the shorter tube assembly will swap out without issue.
Otherwise I'll just have to return the ergo and try out the laserlyte trirail. Other thing is that I bought some larue tactical handstops and rail covers to use and I can't exactly return those.
Any help is appreciated.
