Easy Stock Bolt Question

Joe_Pike · December 6, 2012, 05:41 PM

I am buying a Mossberg 500 used but it has the pistol grip. I don't want a pistol grip, so, I bought one of the Hogue 12" LOP rubber overmolded stocks to replace it. However, it didn't come with the bolt and the gunshop where I bought it doesn't have anything. Does someone know how long of a bolt and what size I'll need to get? I'll just run by the hardware store and pick one up instead of ordering one from the gunshop.

In case anyone else ever needs to know it is 5/16"-18, 5.5" long.

One tip, if you find a bound up trigger group, just add a washer under the bolt head... With TG removed, you can tell if bolt protrudes into the receiver too far... it can only be flush...
