please recommend how-to videos or guides for parts swap

[johncard]

I am ready to swap the barrel (20"), magazine tube (extended), and forend (stock) on my Mossberg 500 for an 18.5" barrel, shorter (~14 inches) magazine tube and Hogue forend. The barrel and magazine tube are from Mossberg.

I've looked through the owner's manual and done some online searches, but I would aprpeciate if the folks here have any suggestions for particularly helpful how-to videos from Youtube or written guides. Additionally, if there are any particular things I should watch for, I would appreciate your advice.

Thanks.

don't forget the pics of you mod.

as far as the mag tube,,,,,heat the receiver where the tube threads in to break the loctite. then get a good grip and put the mussel on it.

Thanks - that video is helpful.

The glue is on the magazine tube threads? should I get locktite and glue the new magazine tube in place?

"heat the receiver"? - hold a candle under it? for how long?

the loctite is on the old mag tube threads. once you get it off,clean the receiver threads good.
i wouldn't loctite the new mag tube,just tighten it real good with some mussel.
