Mossberg 590 disassemble forearm correctly. removing plastic molding.

show you how to correctly disassemble the forearm on a mossberg 590.
in 5 minutes show you how to take off the plastic molding from the metal tube using a screwdriver and a butter knife. I suspect some of you who have well broken-in shotguns, will be able to remove the plastic molding without making the small cut on the plastic.. try it, skip the small cutting step..

Loosen the nut on the front till half way. Slam the forend down nut first pops backwards loosen a little more repeat process until nut is out. Then take screw driver and use blade sideways to pry rest off way out! Easy no cutting needed. That's mine its a new 590A1 maybe different.

Thank you for the vid Sir! Couldn't have done it with out your help!

Very nice man thank you for posting this vid, I have a 500A Tactical with the same forend.

@justchilln1424 same here, I just removed my forend with the tool that TAPCO gave me. Basically, I pushed, twist, and pulled the forend off. Now, could it be a later model and MOSSBERG and Sons changed the manufacturing of the forend? They (Manufacturer) should give you the tool to remove the forend. I didn't have to do all that work.

The key to the whole deal is the 2 screwdrivers he shows between the tube and forend. From there was able to get mine off with out making a cut on a fairly new 590a1. Thanks for the video.

Note, the below method did break the plastic tabs that engage the depressions in the tube. whcih I consider preferable to cutting the foreend. You may want to spray some wd-40 in beween the metal sleeve and the forened to facilitate the process.

I did not want to cut the forend of my 590. I screwed the nut back on part way and rapped it with a nylon mallet. That broke the 3 lugs loose. I unscrewed the nut a bit and rapped it again until the nut bottomed again. Then I took off the nut and poked the slide assembly out with the hammer handle, which just fit in the forend. Took about a minute and used one tool.

the butter knife was a gd idea but thats all i needed. after a removed the nut pull hard and off went the plastic forend.
