View Full Version : Mossberg "upgrades"?
What are some recommended "upgrades" for Mossberg shotguns? I have two model 500s and a 590A1. For instance I've heard people mention that Mossberg magazine tube springs tend to be weak and should be replaced by Wolff springs or something. I've never experienced an issue with any of mine but I do like to be preemptive sometimes when it comes to firearm reliability upgrades. i understand that replacing the Model 500s plastic safety button with a metal one like that of the 590A1 is a good idea. Are there any other commonly recommended enhancements for these shotguns?

Off the top of my head...
Metal safety button
Mag spring replacement- frequent with OEM, less so w/ premium aftermarket
High-vis follower
Remove, degrease, reinstall w/ loctite: GRS, sling swivel, ejector screw, stock screw
Sometimes useful: Polish chamber, polish elevator
Run a premium lubricant or CLP

******.
Agree. But also check the extractor springs and extractors as well. Easily and cheaply replaced.
Good addition to the list.
I was thinking of what I do for PM when I open up a new Mossberg.
good suggestions, thank you.
is Wolff currently the best choice for replacement mag springs?
