Re: new owner/shooter - mossberg 500
Yeah if there even is a 500a1..
When comparing the 590 with the 590a1 the differences are that the a1 has; an aluminum trigger guard instead of plastic, an aluminum safety switch instead of a plastic one, a heavy walled barrel, and ghost ring sights instead of the traditional bead on the end of the barrel.
So I assume that the 500 series would have like differences if there is a 500a1 version..Last edited by kbcobra26; July 5th, 2012 at 09:34 AM.

Re: new owner/shooter - mossberg 500
A thought came to mind, don't the Marines and Navy use the 590A1?
Anyway I heard the model 500A1 thrown around in the past. So I did some digging and found a thread on m4carbine.net: http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=70109

Re: new owner/shooter - mossberg 500
My mossburg is a 500a1. Basically it's a 25 year old field and deer combo. 18" barrel and pistol grip and also has a 24 or 26" barrel and stock. Both the stock and the foreend are wood. Good looking wood I might add. As far as I can tell, the A1 designation at the time indicate that it was a 12 gauge. A2 I think was 20 gauge.
Guns don't kill people, it's mostly the bullets.

Synthetic forends on new Mossberg 500A cannot be replaced because action bars are attached to the forend.

Re: new owner/shooter - mossberg 500
Here's my two cents...if your neighbor was just broken into, especially if it was in the SAME BUILDING, you need to seriously consider a way to securely lockup any and all firearms when you're not there. I'm not kidding. Just having them "in the closet" isn't good enough. You don't want to walk in the door one day and notice they're missing or worse - pointed at you.
This should be more important than any upgrades you make.
Again, just my .02
