I bought a Mossberg 590A1 TAC the other day thinking it was going have a flush magazine tube/Barrel like on the website. When I received it, the barrel is about an inch longer than the tube.

When searching online, theres people claiming theirs is flush and holds 7 shells while mine is not flush and holds only 6.

Anyone have experience or info about this?

Pic related.

idk but you should duct tape the handle for maximum ghosting
>>
>>34245636
Did you accept it from your FFL? If so return won't be happening

Just get another tube
>>
>>34245636
there's a lot of 590a1 models.

this is they one they sent >http://www.mossberg.com/product/590a1-7-shot-ghost-ring-50774/

this is the one you wanted >http://www.mossberg.com/product/590a1-9-shot-51663/

total round count includes one in the chamber. so a 7shot is a 6+1 and a 9shot is a 8+1. Did you special order it or just pick it off the rack? Either way if you took it home pretty much this>>34245694

>>34245694
>Just get another tube
forgot to mention he'll have to get a 20in barrel as well. A "9" shot tube retains the barrel at the front lug which the 18.5 does not have.
>>
maybe it's 6+1
>>

It is the '7 shot' (6+1). its also the 18.5 inch barrel. I understand that the 20" has a flush appearance but the website shows a flush look for the 18.5 inch too. I contacted them about it and they basically chucked it up to looking like that because the image is computer generated on the website... (facepalm).

Either way, its a fine shotgun and i plan on keeping it. Was just wondering if anyone has one that is 18.5 inches with a flush tube or reasons why mine isnt flush.
>>
>>34245953
18.5 with flush tube doesnt exist. as for shell capacity not all 2.75 shells are the same length. its 2.75 when fired. unfired shell length varies. if you have longer shells that extra length is enough toblock one more round.
>>
>>34245953
do you know the exact item number you bought? Google fu is showing 7shots with and without flush fitting tubes.
>>
>>34246187
50774. And thats what im saying..
>>
>>34246234
50774 is the "Accu-Choke System - Cylinder Bore Choke" model. I'm guessing the shorter looking tube denotes that feature.
>>
>>34246283
Maybe. I cant find any surefire answer :/
>>
>>34245636
holy shit fuck that pump, that looks uncomfortable for a day of shooting
>>
>>34245636
>sleep tight shotter
>>
>>34248540
So don't get the railed version if you want one.
>>
>>34248577
already have a 51663 590A1 (20" ghost ring)

it's cool as shit, love this shotgun. if I were you though I'd at least get rail ladders or that thing will eat your gloves after just a few rounds
>>
>>34248652
I ain't OP.
Just a Mossberg fan.
Don't have a 590A1 yet.
But I plan to get the 9 shot with bead sight.
>>
>>34248708
If you get that one you could more easily mount a (special order) heat shield. Heavy barrel takes longer to start cooking, but once it's hot it stays that way longer too

I thought heat shields were mallninja at first but they're actually pretty functional
>>
>>34245636
Isn't that just a tube extension anyway?
Someone has to make a longer one.
>>
>>34248741
I like heatshields.
Didn't know I could get one on the 590 that's cool.
Have one on my '85 police trade-in moss 500.

Something like this?
>>
>>34248782
You can order from the mossy website for 500 and 590. For 590A1, you have to call and place a special order for a heat shield that fits the heavy barrel

Not OP, but while were on the subject of mossberg heatshields, does anyone know a way to mount a magtube mounted light mount to a Mossman 500 with a heatshield mounted to the barrel? I live on a mountain where it gets dark and I wouldn't want to have to mount an assault on a mountain lion without a light mounted on my scattergat.

Theres a 7" or so plastic spacer that keeps the shield from sliding forward, but I want to put the light mount near the front of the pump, which would mean cutting that spacer and having nothing in front. Pic related. The one on the top is my 18.5" mossy and shows the setup I'm trying to recreate on my 20".

I guess I could just rely on the light mount itself to hold the shield in place but that seems kinda fucky, and I'd rather not cut the spacer since if I ever need another it'll probably be kinda expensive to order on it's own.
>>
>>34248873
I should clarify that neither of those shotguns have their pump all the way forward, they're loaded in the pic and I have them half chambered.
>>
>>34248909
>>34248873
Buy a fore end integral light?
>>
>>34248928
I'd rather not, I already have aftermarket forends on both of them.
>>
>>34248873
Duct tape is your friend. Works for Jimbob Billybob
>>
>>34248957
I'd rather just take the heatshield off. Might end up just doing that anyway.
>>
>>34248971
Does your forend not have any kind of rail mount? Could you not epoxy a rail piece to it?
>>
>>34248982
No, it's just a plain hogue rubber one.
>>
>>34245636
Weird. I bought mine used and it holds 8+1 and is flush. Guess i have a longer barrel?

I have the 590A1

7 shot, 18.5 barrel.

Mag tube isnt flush. It was probably a stock photo on the website.
>>
>>34249036
How do you like SGA stock? I was thinking about getting one to shorten the lop on my A1
>>
>>34249036
Ya mine definitely looks a little longer. I am not home rn or i would measure and dont have pics. All i remember from buying it is that it was a 590.
>>
>>34249036
>>34249068
I litterally have the same shell holder with the same ammunition in it.
>>
>>34249066

no regrets at all. much more comfortable on my shoulder and in my hands than the original.
>>
>>34248540
Its not bad. I bought it to use for duty and a tlr1s fits perfectly right there on the foregrip
