Problem with Tac Star side saddle and Mossberg 500
I just got back from a trip to cabellas for a side saddle for my Mossberg 500. After assembling i soon found out that the completed side saddle interferes with the wood of the pump handle and will not allow the gun to cycle. I am thinking i will just take the gun apart and lop off the part of the pump with the band saw. I also thought i would just notch out the side that interferes. Any thoughts?
Sorry for the poor camera work!

Either could be done.
You can notch it out, or shorten it....depending on what you think would look best.
If you decide to cut it off, measure the amount needed, then use masking tape on the wood to keep chips to a minimum. Cut it off with a band saw using the fence. Cut the wood 1/16" bigger than you want as the edges may still chip. Use a table mount belt sander to remove the last 1/16" and remove the possible chips on the edge. You may want to touch up the finish on the end when complete.

I plan on using a guide perpendicular to the guide fence and setting the guide fence to the depth i want. I did not think to cut it a wee bit long to accommodate for chipping. I always tend to think of that after the fact.

Re: Problem with Tac Star side saddle and Mossberg 500
Well, I went to my dads today and we discovered that the forend tappers thus compounding the problem. i would have had to cut quite a bit of wood off as well. Does anyone have a suggestion for a forend that does not cover the receiver when it is cycled back?

Gun Parts Corp has black synthetic riot style for $25. Add another $50 for a matching stock.
Sell the wood to make up the difference maybe.
