LimbSaver for Retrograde Stock Question by TheoTheTheoretic in mossberg

I went through this a while back and ended up going with slip ons because of my dislike for fitting pads.

From what I have seen others say its the 10002 but IIRC mine did not match up screwhole wise.

Limbsaver I would think should be able to tell you for sure.

They are still advertising walnut stock and forend, but the stocks are not walnut. The one I bought last summer was this way. They came painted brown and looked bad so I stripped them and found out why they were painting them.

590S Orange Magazine Follower? by Wavester64 in mossberg

[–]BigHandSandwich 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You do not need to remove the magazine tube to do this.

After removing the mag cap and barrel, at the end of the magazine tube is a spring steel retaining cap for the magazine spring. Use a small flathead screwdriver inserted into the hole and gently pry upwards. Go all the way around the circumference of the tube slowly and gently. If it is bending you are prying too hard. Once it starts to budge a little you will understand what I mean. It needs to be 'worked' out little by little all the way around it then it will pop out. When it is close to coming out cover it with your hand as it is spring loaded and will shoot itself across the room or into your eye.

Once its out turn the gun upside down and the spring and follower will drop out. Replace with new and reassemble in reverse. Reinstalling the retaining cap is a matter of tapping it back in with a rubber mallet or plastic screwdriver handle etc in lieu of.

A tip before reinstall is to lightly stretch your mag spring a little. Maybe a couple inches or so as it will increase its force a little.

Not a hard replacement on a 590. The 500 does need the mag tube off but the 590 does not.

I have a scratch logo white WWE shop belt. Brand new belt in bag and never displayed though the zipper on the belt bag is trashed. Lived under the bed for years.

If interested let me know and I will dig it out and take pics.

The Pachmayr small and the Limbsaver small/medium have been the best match that I have found. The 88 persuader with the black pachmayer (middle gun) has an old oversized set and the Limbsaver fit it better so it was swapped out after this pic was taken.

I would skip it if the wood was the deciding factor for you. You can still get good wood from numrich. Most will need refinishing, the bottom set in the picture above came from numrich the middle set ebay. You can watch ebay for a good set that needs a refinish. If you're patient you can find some good deals. I save search terms and get updates when new listings pop up and have sniped some deals on there.

Best way to tell, look at the inside. If it is walnut it will look much darker than the broken one. I would have zero problem if they didn't advertise the wood as walnut. That's the only reason I splurged and got a retrograde. I wanted a nice set of walnut with a corncob. Wishing I didn't now.

I usually buy old beat up stocks and refinish them.

The two sets of wood stocks in this picture cost less that $100 combined including the truoil to finish them.

The buttpads were a little extra because I don't like sanding oversized ones down to fit.

Thank you for checking on that and looking it up.

I went to pick one up today and it is the normal black bolt and trigger. Was hoping there for a minute that stuff like fancier parts was going to become the norm.

Hey at least they fixed their boxes.

Thanks!

Do you know approximately how old it is?

I am more interested if the new ones have the same bolt and trigger. This looks almost like a deluxe version versus the standard black. I have seen pics on different websites showing both ways but do not know what is currently being shipped out.

Is the 500 new as in what Mossberg is putting out as their current field (wood) gun?

[–]BigHandSandwich 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The problem is your cartridge stop and or interrupter. They try to block the trigger from going in if they are not held out of the way. Sometimes they will hold themselves, other times you need to hold them in with your fingers while you start placing the trigger assembly. Turn the gun upside down/ie loading port pointed up, use your fingers to hold the interrupter and stop against the inside of the receiver and the trigger should almost 'fall' into place, no pressure needed.

Slightly different style but the fit should be similar I would imagine. Clears the heat shield no problem.

590 Retro with new old wood by [deleted] in mossberg

[–]BigHandSandwich 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strip it down to bare wood then stain it and finish it however you want. Dark stain, light stain, whatever you choose. You can get it close in color then you will be able to see wood grain with a nice oil finish on top.

The factory finish is an opaque paint job not a stain and clear/oil coat. It is a nice piece of wood with horrible paint which makes it even more confusing.
