For yrs i've owned a Mossberg 500 12 ga that i bought yrs ago used at a pawn shop. I'd been looking at HD shotguns and got a little bored one so went to work on this thing. I bought a Hogue overmoded stock set with the short LOP(12") and tried to use it but the buttstock was so short, so i took an old checkered walnut buttstock,cut it and fitted a Hogue ez fit recoil pad to 13"LOP then primed and painted the buttstock flat black to match the overmolded Hogue forend. Disassembled the gun and took the metal to a place that does cerakote and had the metal done in "Battleship Grey"(my version of a Mariner)...reassembled the gun and added a Marbles tritium bead sight. I'll try to post a pic
