I shoot a circa 1987 Mossberg 500.
The mag tube is easily removable, and the tang safety is made of aluminum.
Current mag tube can be removed, it's just difficult. You can even replace it with an 8 shot tube and add the corresponding barrel if you want to max out the versatility of the platform.
Aluminum safeties can also be had from Brownells, to match the older style before they apparently went to plastic in the 90s or 2000s.
The mag tube has been easy to unscrew since I was a kid. I clean it with a tico tool, or a regular cleaning rod and patch after hunting on the water or in rain.
It's also still running the original spring, FWIW.
