Tenshi,
Congratulations, you've got the new model, Item #50771, 9-shot. With the extra capacity tube and the bayonet, it's no wonder it seems a little front heavy. According to the Mossberg spec sheet, it shares a common stock with other tach models with a LOP of 13 7/8". This is a little on the short side for many average shooters. I assume it's sized with the possibility of protective gear in mind. Other 500 stocks are 14 and 14-1/2" LOP. For a shorter stock there's the adjustable turkey stock or the Bantam's 13" stock. Unfortunately, Mossberg didn't raise the stock when they elevated the sights. Oneounceload commented about your synthetic stock because it can't be shortened in the same manner as ones in wood as shown in your referenced video.
