It's because they don't trust you to be messing with the safety. I had to go through it once on my brother inlaw's Mod. 500. The safety didn't work from the factory and they didn't want to send me the replacement parts!
I was right before some hunting season and we didn't have time to deal with a repair center. I finnally convinced Mossberg to sent the parts. As I recall, I had to booger up the anti tamper screw to get it out but I had a brand new one in hand that came with all of the other safety parts. If you really need to take it apart Brownells has new screws as well as the other safety parts.
Good Luck,
Hank
