How does this attach to the stock on my Mossberg 500A?

When you unscrew the the side screw from the swivel, push it in and the latch will open

The stock has to be drilled to accept the rear swivel. You must drill a 2 stage hole. First, drill a larger hole to accept the unthreaded portion of the shaft. It must be slightly larger than the shaft and slightly deeper than the unthreaded portion, , then you must drill a pilot hole, which will be smaller, in the center of the larger hole to accept the threaded portion of the shaft. The pilot hole should be the same size as the part of the shaft that the screw threads are attached to, so that just the thread portion is grabbing the wood. Then it can be screwed in using a punch in the hole, or a wrench on the flats. To correctly index the magazine cap stud, there are several methods, but my preferred technique is to use a drill bit that is just at the size of the stud itself, and counterbore the hole in the magazine cap a smidgen at a time, checking to see that the stud lines up correctly when torqued down. Then, when it does, loctite it and tighten it down.

Well Peter, it all depends on if your stock is wood or synthetic. I have a synthetic stock on mine which had an eye in the butt-stock, so I just used he quick-detach part for that. As for the short stud, it screws into the screw-in end on the end of your magazine tube. But that is if that end has been drilled and threaded. Mine was ready for the stud.

My stock was pre drilled so installation was as easy as screwing one in the end off the prethreaded choke tube cap and the other into the predrilled +threaded stock.

My mossberg 500 with a black hawk tactical stock measures the same. It fits fine.

Yes I have it on my Mossberg 500 Tactical 12ga shotgun with a picatinny rail works great

It will stretch over the back end of the stock. It fit over the back of my Mossberg 500.

It attaches to the rail and allows you to slide a magazine in and out. It's designed to fit stocks that have a short Picatinny rail attached on one side. Lacking that, it can be mounted on a forestock rail. I have mine mounted forward on the left side so that a magazine will be right there at the ready. Though that adds weight to the forward part of the rifle, it means that I do not have to fumble around for a magazine when I need to load in a hurry.

What stock is on yours? If it is the basic fixed rifle stock then it more likely will fit. It fit an aftermarket shotgun stock on my Mossberger 500. If yours is the ar15 style adjustable stock something like this will fit better.Ultimate Arms Gear Tactical Stealth Black Slip On Rubber Recoil Reducing Combat Buttpad Butt Pad For 6 Six Position Retractable Collapsible Stock AR-15 AR15 M4 Rifle Shotgun

Mossberg told me it was for the 500/590 models but gunsmithing will be need to mount front sight - (soldering) then probably reblueing/parkarizing of barrel. Rear sight screws into existing taps.Good luck

Assuming that you are placing it on a Mossberg 500, or a Remington 870, you will need to remove the barrel first.

If your Mossberg is drilled and tapped, you need to order a metal rail section that mates to the surface of the receiver. There are quite a few out there; just search for "Mossberg 500 scope rail." This is a polymer rail section, and even if the screw holes lined up, the screws and anchors for the mount would not fit the holes in your receiver. Additionally, the rail would most likely break during normal use, as it will not mate properly with the surface of your shotgun's receiver. Hope that answers your question!

I have this same one on my Mossberg 500 and it fits well. I actually positioned it so it doesn't hang down but to the side so I can push the button on the flashlight with my thumb on my left hand while im holding the pump in the forward position.

This rail fits the H&R; Handy Rifle and Pardner Pump shotgun (special screws required; seem my review for the exact specs) For a Mossberg 500, try this... Ultimate Arms Gear Tactical Mossberg 500 590 835 Persuader Maverick 88 Shotgun Weaver Picatinny Base Rail Scope Sight Mount

If you stll have the mount pin on the magazine tube. You also need the one on the stock.

Mine fit on a Mossberg 500 without any issues. Only thing is that it will fall off by the time you empty a full magazine.

On the Mossberg 500 I did not need this. I just used the standard one. I still have this one sitting around collecting dust. I believe it depends on how the forearms is built..... Wether or not you can remove the forearm with out removing the slide.

Yes mine has that and it fits fine.Just remember that it exactly fits a mossberg 590 with pistol grip without stock and dont know if it will fit those other mossy's that have the breacher barrel or the blackhawk pistol grip that has the spring sticking out from the back..

it will fit any shotgun with a solid wood or hollow synthetic stock; seems the 500a has an AR-like stock..if yours has that, you need to know that the "tubular" part of your stock can be drilled/screwed, and going by the following pic, it can: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=&imgr;efurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.smartsuburbansurvival.com%2Ffirst-firearm%2F&h;=0&w;=0&tbnid;=qsteJ3NrbW3r6M&tbnh;=194&tbnw;=259&zoom;=1&d;ocid=lIDiUTo_6MalKM&ei;=1qMbU-HABef02QXhtYGACg&ved;=0CAUQsCUoAQ

you shouldn't have to as it is a split type mount , just adjust the 2 screws for the right fit. i really like mine and can see no problems with using it on a slightly larger tube. a smaller tube , all that is needed is some shim stock to get a secure fit. just as soon as i mounted it on a mossberg , i ran 2 boxes of shells [50 rounds] through the gun in order to get everything broken in and loosened up and i was pleasantly surprised that every thing worked great and need no further adjustments.
