Mossberg 590 500 tac-star sidesaddle installation

[Palillos1337]

that mossberg is a beauty

[georgeterro]

like us all men we always have parts left over haha

[jeffshootsstuff]

@georgeterro LOL

[ShootinItStr8]

Great informative vid!!! Thanx alot!

[Terruhcutta]

I never understood why the use of nuts and allen wrenches, if you need to dissasemble the gun in the wild or in a (no better way to put it) zombie apocalypse, the last thing I would want is to need a freaking allen wrench and a socket wrench

[jeffshootsstuff]

@Terruhcutta if you disassemble your gun the zombies will get you regardless. ;)

[shootload1911]

Yo man cool stuff...

[kino92655]

fit perfect on my Maverick88. same as Mossberg500. good vid

[lilbadboy511]

Will this Side Saddle work on a 88 Maverick?

[jeffshootsstuff]

@lilbadboy511 Yes, as long as your Maverick forend doesn't overlap the receiver when it's fully rearward.

[jamnin94]

wat a pain in the ass compared to how a side saddle mounts on the 870

[jeffshootsstuff]

@jamnin94 If you say so...

[JoeNeanderthal]

Where did you get that stock and forearm?

[jeffshootsstuff]

@JoeNeanderthal havlin sales dot com as noted below :)

[Kep1911]

lol wow typo sry" who played music"

[Kep1911]

very nice simple video alot better than the idiot how play music and just pointed to things in the video never saying anything and it looks like it took him two videos to do what you did in seven bravo good sir bravo

[rhazuul]

nice looking shotgun.like the fact that you still use wood on you gun.

[jeffshootsstuff]

@rhazuul Thanks!

[kevtekvt]

Thanks for the vid. Helped me get around step 5 in the directions when they mistake flat head screw for hex... In case anyone wants to know the proper size flathead for the ejection screw is 5/16 and the nut is a 1/4 socket.

[TheKDH20]

well i like the look of your gun looks sick

[TheKDH20]

i noticed you had a shell holder on the butt of the gun

what are thoes called and how do you put them on too the butt of the gun i like the way it looks

thanks

[jeffshootsstuff]

@TheKDH20 They're called various things... butt cuff, etc. You slip them over the front of the gun (or remove the buttstock) and slide it front to back, then slip the back loop over the butt.

[Kinjaffa]

any preference or reasoning for the orientation of shotshells in a side saddle? primer up or down?

[jeffshootsstuff]

@Kinjaffa Personal preference, really. Most right handers load primer up because they pull from the top and go over to drop one in the loading port. I shoot long guns lefty, and prefer rolling the gun to the left, pulling from the bottom, and stuffing the mag.

Some people will also run buck or birdshot in one direction, then a couple of slugs in the other direction to distinguish the slugs. I just depends on what you like.

[Kinjaffa]

@jeffshootsstuff I just got a Mossberg 590 special purpose last week. Currently I run 4 shells of 00 Buckshot primer down so that I can roll the shotgun over and load it with 4 shells very fast. The other 2 shells are 1oz slugs that are primer up so that I can grab them easily and drop them in the receiver if I need to make precision or long range shots. Seems to work for me.

[jeffshootsstuff]

@Kinjaffa cool

[vampire847]

where did you get that sexy wooden furniture?

[jeffshootsstuff]

[MrLookout73]

That is a beautiful shotgun!

[jeffshootsstuff]

@MrLookout73 thanks!

[jeffshootsstuff]

@Biggungobang I shoot long guns lefty. that shellholder will work on either side.

[atlharp1]

In installing the side saddle I would recommend using industrial strength velcro (under $10 at WalMart). I did this a while back with my 870 and love it. The stuff stays put so much that you can pick up your shotgun by the side saddle. Thanks for the instructions!

[jeffshootsstuff]

@atlharp1 Not a bad idea... I've also seen people install them with heavy-duty double-sided tape. I prefer not to stick goopy crap all over my guns, though. But if it works...

[WildLifeGuy308]

can you put this on a mossberg 500 with the hunting fore grip because mine wont come out cuz i gt the A version

[jeffshootsstuff]

@WildLifeGuy308 I don't know what the hunting version is, but if the forend overlaps the receiver at all with the slide back, the answer is no, the sidesaddle won't work. Or, more correctly, the gun won't work once you install the sidesaddle. :)

[Vergon3256]

Good vid bro

[Nerevar1990]

You have a beautiful shotgun

[jeffshootsstuff]

@Nerevar1990 thank you. :)

[PayThePrice71]

Thanks!

[Parinone]

great vid! i just got a Roadblocker Mossberg and Im planning on getting a sidesaddle like this so this vid helps my understanding of the installation a BUNCH!!! thanks again!

[jeffshootsstuff]

@Parinone You're welcome. Glad I could help.

[t125121518]

what kind of finish is on your mossberg? i have one that is parkerized and one that is blued do you know if will i have to sand blast them to get the finish you have on your gun? it the coolest looking finish ive seen on a shotgun so far. thanks.

[jeffshootsstuff]

@t125121518 It's called "Marinecote". The current model name of the shotgun in the vid is the 590 Mariner. I just swapped the black synthetic stock for a wood one.

[soliddawn01]

I know you already answered about the stock forend interfering with the side saddle, and my 500 does precisely that (just got mine few days ago as well as this same side saddle). I was wondering if you knew of any place that you could point me to buy one that would work with this side saddle? thanks

[jeffshootsstuff]

try havlin sales dot com... or watch eBay. :) Make sure you get the "corncob" style or the plain ribbed forend that doesn't overlap. You'll need to know the dimensions of your action slide also. Info at havlinsales. good folks. That's where I got the wood stock set shown in the vid.

[VHOBSESSED78]

That is a beautiful shotgun!

I wish Mossberg would make a 590 with wooden furniture.

[contondant]

Thanks for the video... made installing mine tonight alot easier!

[antibehavior]

Did the stock mossberg forend interfere with your side-saddle?

[jeffshootsstuff]

@antibehavior No. HOWEVER my 590 didn't have any extensions on the rear of the forend that came over the receiver in any way. Some recent Remington 870s and I believe the "Bantam" style Mossberg forends do. If any part of the forend overlaps the receiver on your shotgun, you will have to swap out the forend to use a sidesaddle.

[j4mesde4n]

So, to field strip and clean this weapon, you'd have to fight the loctite and reapply upon assembly? I think I'll pass.

[jeffshootsstuff]

@j4mesde4n IF you loc-tite the rearmost screw, the one that replaces the rear trigger group pin, you are correct. If you just loc-tite the ejector screw, you can remove the rearmost screw and leave the front one in place. This will allow you to remove the trigger group and bolt, etc. as normal. I wouldn't recommend removing the ejector screw unless you wear out your ejector, which will take somewhere north of 100,000 rounds from what I've read.

[j4mesde4n]

@jeffshootsstuff : Thanks for the reply.



[guardian22553]

hey so have any of the shells fallen out on you as you were shooting just asking i know they dont fall out if the brass of the shells are at the time but i wanted to know with brass down do they t/y for your help great video they do give you alot of extra washers and screws i saw the box at a sporting good store and it looked like alot more hard ware then you used in the video

[jeffshootsstuff]

@guardian22553 I only load it brass down, and it holds them very securely, even shooting slugs. However, don't try to load TWO shells in one slot, nose to nose. They fall under recoil out if you do. Watch my 3-gun M1a mossberg vid to see this in action if you like. :)

[Edisto54]

Just installed mine thanks to your video. Thanks!!

[jeffshootsstuff]

@Edisto54 Cool! Glad it helped.

[deltamanfx]

That is a very pretty mossy!



[jeffshootsstuff]

@deltamanfx Thank you kindly. :)

[hatsan38]

very kind instruction mate !! 5*

[TamrynRimfire]

Great Video 5*

[tim12161974]

But I really wanted to put 2 shells in each slot!! Lol! Just got the 500 a few weeks ago, and am about to get a sidesaddle like that... maybe. I was curious why those things were @ 30 bucks, but I thought they were all plastic. Thanks Jeff, glad it worked well for ya!

[usframe]

nice!
