George and others:
I ordered a Mossberg forearm for my 12 gauge 500A. It arrived today. Same problem, the threaded tube of the slide assembly is about 6" long and the forearm is about 7". When the forearm is on the tube the nut will not beign to reach and engage the threads, at least 3/4" to 1" short.
Are there more than one size for the 12 ga 500s? Is there a difference for 2 & 3/4" only older models? I am at a loss here.
I got an aftermarket, from CDNN along with a buttstock. The synthetic buttstock went on perfectly,(except for being a little long for me). The forearm I returned twice, then I just bit the bullet and ordered one from Mossberg (part no 10462) exactly the same problem. What am I up against here?
