Anyone know if there is a rear "hook" sling mount available for the 20 gauge Mossberg 500? I've searched and searched and no luck. Different size receivers and all, combined with less 20 ga. demand I suppose...

Prefer to use a BF VCAS sling on the shotgun in the field like an AR. I'd prefer the VCAS set up as I imagine it would be much quicker and handier to secure shotgun in a safe position as I deal with dogs/game/etc in thick brush. I hope I'm not stuck with the traditional mag knob swivel and rear mount under the bottom of the stock.

Anyone running a field shotgun like I mention?

Anyone with a 500 drill and epoxy for QD socket? Is the 500 stock up to the task? I assume the 12 ga. and 20 ga. stock are similar in thickness/construction.

GG&G don't make one for the 20 gauge like this (prefer the rear ambi mount at the bottom of the picture):

Just gonna go with a Noveske flush mount QD socket/cup that I'll mount to the stock. Should do the trick.

Keep us updated- I have been looking for the same solution for my mossie 20ga.

I'm really digging the set-up I went with: Blue Force VCAS sling and mounted like AR. Front sling from tube cap on swivel (left side) and rear sling from limited rotation QD mounted to flush cup about 3 inches from recoil pad and centered vertically (right side).

Used it for multi-hour squirrel hunt up and down pretty rocky/slippery terrain. Shotgun was kept nice and tight across chest and resting on my old ALICE rig pouches. I'm definitely going to go this route with my other shotgun. Actually quite happy no one made a rear receiver mount for the 20 ga.

Shotgun is my new favorite. I went with the Mossberg Youth Super-Bantam with 22" barrel. This is nice small package that points really well and was a joy to carry.

Ended up using the Noveske flush mount QD cup in rear stock. Easy-peasy to install. Installed on outside of stock (I'm right handed) with QD push sling mount.

My Mossberg 20 ga. did not come with a front sling mount on the tube cap. Installed an Outdoor Connection replacement tube cap.

Used a standard shotgun/rifle Uncle Mike's swivel I had laying around to attach the sling to the Outdoor Connection tube cap.
