Mossberg 590A1 Mag Extension

[pjpettis]

Hi,

I have a 590A1 with the 18.5" barrel. I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find a reasonably priced parkerized mag tube extension for it. I want to take advantage of the space and hang a rail from the tube and mount my TLR-2 light to it. I'm having trouble finding a tube extension.

Thanks in advance,

Phil

I've got the same gun. I don't think what you want exists since 99% of the people that get 590's get the 20" model. I went with a LiteMount from brownells. it fits within an atoms width. popped a G2 in there and done, thats the way I went. I suppose it could all come off and I could just put on one of those tri-rail forends.

Vang Comp makes one and it is listed at $75 on their web site.

I found it on their site. Ouch. $75? Anyone know of others?

I picked up the Vang extension and had it drilled for a sling swivel. Works great, the price was high, but its the only game in town...at least the only one I found.

Did the Vang extension fit the tube like the cap? Is it set-up to work with the ball detent to keep from working loose like the cap does?

Yup, it comes with very easy, step by step instructions. Take off the cap, pull out the round metal tab inside the magazine and replace the spring. The new cap fits right on.

I tried an 870 extension the other day and the threads seemed ok. Am I wrong?

I thought about that too, but didn't want to waste the money if it didn't fit.
I'm not sure if that will work. If it does, I'll get a two shot extention.
