Mossberg forearm

[cowboy45]

Does anyone know if a mossberg 500 and 590 use the same forearm? I have a 590 that came with some kind of laser integrated forearm that crapped out and I just want to put a regular one on. Its the 590 with the bayo lug, heat guard, heavier barrel etc.

Thanks

Yes they can interchange forearms of the same length. Yours is a 7 5/8" version I'm sure. All 590's comes with those.

Comparison of action slide lengths: top 7-5/8”, bottom 6-1/2” Measure from top of threads to bottom of collar that holds the action bars. This measurement is critical to fit when ordering forearms or stock sets that include a forearm. For the most part, 20-year and older sporting shotguns and new tactical shotguns use the 7-5/8” slide. New sporting models have used the 6-1/2” slide for almost 20 years. There are exceptions, however. To be sure, measure![FONT] NOTE[/FONT][FONT]:[/FONT][FONT] Since 2006, most new 500®, 535® and 835® sporting shotguns with synthetic forearms may not use an action slide tube at all; rather, the pump handle will have two integral bars pinned into the handle itself. If you have one of these, you cannot use a forearm that was designed to go over an action slide tube without first buying the correct length tube and action slide tube nut.[/FONT]

Thanks for the replies. I'll be back at the Market Hall show tomorrow and hopefully the used one I found will work.
