Guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 hi there I just recently bought a Mossberg 500 pump and I found this Uk website http://www.midwayuk.com that sells pistol grip for the Mossberg 500. I have a question, as long as the overall barrel length is still at least 24" is it legal to fit your shotgun with a pistol grip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J@mes Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 as long as it meets the legal overall length for a shotgun i dont see why not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) Basically I want to put this instead of my original Stock. Is this ok? Edited July 23, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edward Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 (edited) I looked into a folding stock on my escort, but you have to be over 40" overall. I came to 38" with the folder Dont see whats wrong with that (in the link) though Edited July 23, 2009 by EdwardtheloneShooter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poontang Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Perfectly legal, if a bit gimmicky (waltish). What are you going to use the gun for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lloyd90 Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Perfectly legal, if a bit gimmicky (waltish). What are you going to use the gun for? Taking down terrorists and the odd pigeon lol Perfectly legal aslong as it meets the length it has to be Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Well clay pigeon shooting and I want to get into practical shotgun as well, plus this stock looks much cooler than the original stock, but I obviously don't want to get into trouble with it being illegal or something so that is why I was asking. I sent my feo this link through an e-mail to see what he thinks of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 absolutely legal mate, i have a similar ati one on my "spare" mossberg. it helps reduce recoil (feels like it anyway), and helps the gun handle better too, not to mention all the usual benefits of synthetic over wood, so go for it ps its good for winding up the waist coat brigade at the clay ranges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be ok for practical shotgun, have a look and see what the top boys are using. If they have std stocks there's a reason for it. Each to their own i guess, if you think it looks cool go for it mate.

Guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 What about this one guys: http://www.midwayuk.com/apps/eproductpage....leItemID=930954 This one looks a bit more like a grey area since it looks more "tactical". Personally I have clicked on the link gone to add to shopping cart, add detaiuls everything I had it as "Confirm Purchase" but I didn't hit the Purchase button, so I can definately buy this stock form the website but not sure about legality. By the way, nice guns babby! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 cheers mate personally id stay away from any of those type of adjustable stocks, think theyre legal ok but i always find that adjustable = loose, which is not good for a shotgun this is what i have at the mo, and im about to buy this forend for better grip; also its cheaper than that knox one! stock forend ps if youre going to use this for clays you might want to buy THIS stock instead to make the experts at the range feel safer with the fact youre using a pump...

cincinnatikid Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hi Koz fit a pistol grip to your Mozzie and put a grin on your face. i've put a Knoxx stock and houge rubberised fore end on my 590 as some people say a bit posie but their probably a bit jealous. By the way are you aware midway's goods come to you from the U.S.A Have fun with your mozzie Regards Rik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 23, 2009 Report Share Posted July 23, 2009 Wow Yes! that is what I want. Can you tell me exactly from the midway website the product number of that stock? Or the link please.

Tobyb525 Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 you wont regret it Are they really that good? I'm very interested in the 500. What advantage do they offer over a s/a??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koz, Double check that 24" barrel mate. The only ones Mossberg list are rifled, (for use with slugs). If you haven't got a FAC for sec.1 ammunition you may find yourself with a gun you can't use!! Still, as long as it looks cool eh!!......................... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Breastman Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Any 'shotgun' with a rifled barrel is obviously not "a smooth-bore gun" and therefore isn't classed as a shotgun under UK regs and you'd be in possession of a section 5 firearm I'd be amazed if you can't get a regular 24" barrel for a mossy though Mark Edited July 24, 2009 by Breastman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Fudd Posted July 24, 2009 Report Share Posted July 24, 2009 Are they really that good? I'm very interested in the 500. What advantage do they offer over a s/a??? theres a few benefits of pumps compared to semi's. pumps are very tough, dont need as much cleaning (i swear im gonna strip and clean my two this weekend, havnt been done since xmas!) and you get far fewer jams; even if you do get one it takes less than a second to clear, just repump it! as well as that you cant just keep pulling the trigger like with a semi, having to pump the next cartridge in, even though its quick, still forces you to slow down and gives you time to draw a bead on the target again. no joke but my shot to kill ratio got far better once i started using pumps. if you do get one id advise you to go for a 500a/600ct; theyre the more sporterised models 28" barrel, top rib, interchangeable chokes and double bead sights Koz, Double check that 24" barrel mate. The only ones Mossberg list are rifled, (for use with slugs). If you haven't got a FAC for sec.1 ammunition you may find yourself with a gun you can't use!! Still, as long as it looks cool eh!!......................... should be ok, my mates got a slugster model, 24" barrel and its smooth bore, but check it anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
