Tactical light options for 590a1 18.5 6 shot

The_Question · August 19, 2011, 03:49 PM

I just recently purchased a mossberg 590a1 in a 6 shot, this is my exact model the 51410.

and i was wondering what options I have, other then the surefire grip, for a tac light on this.

I have been looking at this http://www.amazon.com/LaserLyte-ADPT...pr_product_top

but I'm unsure if their is enough space on the magazine tube for it to fit and still have my shotgun function properly.

Any advice would be appreciated

That thing is pretty much ready to go as it sits.

Up the round count. After a few cases, you'll have better ideas of what it needs and what is bling.....

yeah I want to keep it simple, I just want the light and thats pretty much it, I dont need a laser guided missile system on it or anything like that lol Just the light.

the question,

I own the same gun except with ghost rings. without using a +2 extension (kinda rare) and a railed magazine tube clamp, your best bet is a railed forend (ergo, ggg, mako) or dropping the coin on the surefire. id choose the first option, personally

would you happen to know a site that has the +2 extension that would work on the 590a1?

Check with sjhardware.com. They are now making a +2 extension that is flush with the end of the barrel.

I picked up a +2 extension, appreciate the help guys, now do you have any medium priced recommendations for what kind of mount and light I should use on that extension? i'm looking for something in the 40-70 buck range I dont want to go too crazy.

If you are only looking to put a light on it, I like the Elzetta mount. I have that mount and a Dark Ops 'Hellfighter' X-8 on my Browning 'Taactical'. They have both held up well on my testing with both 00 Buck and slugs. Both together were under $100.
