OverMolded Rubber Shotgun Stock for Mossberg 500 12, 16, 20, 28 Gauge

I have a Mossberg 590A1, which, if you know Mossberg's lineup, you'll know has a 20-inch heavy barrel and holds 8+1 rounds. It's the model used by the military, the big boy shotgun. In fact, it's almost too big. With the heavy barrel and a full magazine tube, it's uncomfortably front-heavy (and that's before you try to put the bayonet lug to use). The factory stock doesn't help, either; with its standard 14-inch length of pull, all that metal is hanging way out in front of you. I'm an average 6-foot-tall guy, but that LOP is a bit much, especially for this gun's intended tactical uses. So I ordered this Hogue stock with the 12-in LOP, and my 590A1 has been transformed from "unwieldy hunk of metal" to "badass tactical shotgun". Let me say first that a lot of guys will just stick an AR-15 style 6-position stock on and call it good. That's not a terrible option, but when you consider that Mossberg shotguns have the ambidextrous safety on the top of the receiver, intended to be operated with the thumb, there's really no way to take it off safe quickly if your hand is down clutching a pistol grip. For a Mossberg, something like this is really the only way to go if you want to be able to train with it and operate it as it's intended. I will say that if the standard stock is way too big, the 12-in Hogue might be a tad short, especially for tall guys. But I didn't buy the gun to shoot clay pigeons with (although I have done it), so for me, and for the shotgun's intended purpose, it's nearly perfect. And if you are wearing body armor or a heavy coat, it's just right. That two inches makes a world of difference in how the shotgun handles. Now the business end of the 590A1 is as intimidating as ever, but the overall length (and weight) has been reduced just enough to make it much more manageable. On to features. I noticed Mossberg recently came out with a "youth" version of the 500 series, with a 12 LOP like this Hogue stock. I'd still take the Hogue, and I'll tell you why: the "overmolded" grip. The standard stock is slick enough that your hand wants to slide down naturally to the more vertical part of the stock, which leaves your index finger too far away to reach the trigger comfortably. The Hogue solves that with a dimpled rubbery grip area that provides a lot more traction for your hand. Installation is fairly easy, but you'll need a long flathead screwdriver and a smallish philips head (tip: definitely take Hogue's advice and use a drop of lube to slide the philips head into the slits in the rubber buttpad -- sorry if that sounded gross). Quality I would say is very good, though you will sacrifice a bit of toughness compared to the standard stock, if only because the walls of the standard stock are quite a bit thicker (this helps keep the Hogue's weight down, though). In reality I seriously doubt you could break the Hogue unless you were using the flat side of it to violently hammer tent stakes into frozen ground or something dumb like that. The buttpad is soft and grippy, no complaints there. If you're interested in installing a shell holder on the stock, I found that this ATI Shotshell Holder installed easily (you'll have to drill pilot holes) and fit nicely, even on this short stock. Overall, I'm fully satisfied, and though I haven't had it out shooting yet with the new stock on, I seriously doubt anything will change my mind. Highly recommended.

As a shorter man (5'6) the length of pull on most shotguns is a little long for me. This solves that, and makes it very easy to use. It seems to be a a little heavier than the normal plastic but that's not a bad thing. The texture and construction are very good.

Great stock at a decent price. Highly Reccomended for an array of folks, from the youth hunter to the Tacticool Operator. I am a Police Officer in a rather... violent city, and I find myself equipping my plate carrier and grabbing the shotgun fairly often. The full length of pull stock on the issue scattergun made utilizing it in tandem with the armor difficult and cumbersome. Even to the point where I'd stop grabbing the shotgun all together, leaving me arguably under equipped. This stock remedies that, perfectly. It's quick mount, dismount, and it's highly maneuverable. It has a great recoil pad, which I reccomend applying electrical tape to, as the rubber grabs garments, and it is rock solid. I'm very happy with this stock. So much so that I'll be putting one on nearly all of my shotguns. It sure is nice to be able to take my boom stick into the fray again. And if you're wondering, it fits the Mossberg Maverick 88 in 12 and 20 gauge.

Perfect fit on my mid 80s vintage Mossberg 500. Nice ergonomics and texture. Length of pull was good for my 5'6", 165# frame. I was able to use my OEM stock bolt with the addition of the supplied washer. NOTE: a stock bolt is NOT provided with this stock, as is clearly stated in the description. In some instances you will have to provide a different length bolt to attach this stock to your shotgun. The only comment I have which could be a negative is that the wall thickness of this stock is thinner than that of the OEM stock. I believe that this stock is probably just as strong as the OEM stock due to the type materials used in it's construction. However, the lightness and hollow sound when you tap on it gives the impression that it is cheap or flimsy.

Swapped it on my maverick 88. Definitely feels better and highly recommend over stock version. No additional tools or parts needed either. Install took less than 5mins.

I bought stocks for my Mossberg 500 20 ga. and my 12. The attached pic is of the 20. Because the 12 ga. receiver is wider, and the stock is intended to fit the 12 & 20, I thought the Hogue might have a noticeable not-so-flush appearance where the stock fits up to the 20 ga receiver. I took the chance anyway...and it fits nicely on the 20. And it's a perfect fit on the 12. PROS: I like the wider hand grip area, rubberized-style texture, and steeper down-angle. Plus, the LOP is about 3/4" less than the original. CON: Overall, the construction is thinner than the original Mossberg stocks. The screw-in points for the butt pad isn't nearly as robust as the original stock. So, BE CAREFUL not to over-tighten the included screws. I've read that other users accidentally stripped the polymer. Overall, the stock and provided butt pad is easy to install, more comfortable than the original and well worth it.

Great stock. 12 inch length of pull might be too short for bigger guys. But im a lil man so it is great for me. Went on my mossberg 590 persuader which had a standard 14 inch length of pull just a bit too long for my short arms. Hogue is a good company I've bought many of their products this is another great item.

I gave it 3 only cause product was not damaged and delivery was great. Here the reason why it's not 5 star. The washer was included not the bolt. I don't know the reason why it wasn't included which is strange. So the hassle to find the correct bolt which is 5 half inch long and 5/16 18TPI is such a pain. I went to hardware store and checked online at mossberg store. They were out of stock and hardware store didn't carry it in a 5 inch long measurement. The fact you may have to be on a crazy search for this one item to put together what you purchased is just not the greatest customer experience. It's ridiculous. My advice before Anyone purchase this stock. BUY THE BOLT FIRST!!!!! PLEASE. Without the bolt you CAN NOT install the stock properly. It need to be exact measurements.

Amazing product Im very happy with it

Fits the 500 but as others have said you need to find the bolt yourself (if converting from pistol grip).

The shotgun shoots a lot better now!

Very nice stock. It keeps my "Mossy" looking original but also adds more function with better grip. The butt pad is soft rubber so it does soak up some of the recoil. Two issues I have (reason for only 3 stars) is the hollow sound from the stock...Yeah I get it....its plastic and designed to be lightweight but this makes it feel cheap. I fixed this by putting in some foam to deaden the the sound. the other thing is I own the pistol grip Maverick 88 model and you have to supply your own longer bolt and spacers to make this work. This is something of an inconvenience.
