Hello all, new Mossberg owner here and I have a few questions about modifications.
I'm a slight guy 5'9" 150#, and the factory stock on the 590a1 is a little long for me. I can hold it fine, it just doesn't feel "quite right". So, first the things that I have on order is a Houge Short Stock and a small Limbsaver slip on buttpad. Easy peasey, not problems with that...
Where I've run into a bit of a roadblock is determining if my next two modifications are compatible.
The gun currently has just a bead front sight. I was hoping to add some type of more traditional rifle sights and was wanting either night or fiberoptic sights to make them more useful in the dark. While I'm sure that the bead sights would be sufficient for HD applications, having better sights on it would make it more fun at the range.
I'd also like to add a heatshield. This gun is for HD, but also for fun range time and I can see myself getting the barrel pretty hot at the range. I've "burned" myself more than once with my SKS and would like to avoid that if possible.
I'm wide open on sight suggestions but it appears that the Aimpro Heatshield is the preferred heatshield for this gun. I know that the Aimpro is apparently compatible with the ghost ring sights, but does anyone know if there are any higher visibility sights that are compatible?
So, essentially, any high visibility sight replacements that are compatible with the Aimpro Heatshied?
My 509a1 cam with the L3 Insight lighted foregrip already installed, it's pretty cool. A video below:
Thanks
John
