Mossberg 500 question
Hi all, I'm new here.
I've got a question about a mossberg 500 i recently purchased. it's used and all.. had wood forend and stock. Anyways, Now the fella must have pulled the forend off the action slide rails detaching them and the action slide tube as well. it looked glued into the forend. When i removed the piece i noticed these metal bands on the mag tube. I have no idea what they are and can't get my action slide rail piece off with the tubes in the way.. one moves and the other doesn't. can anyone hit me with some knowledge? |

I have no clue. Here's a parts diagram. http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufact...List-34118.htm
Does the slide tube have a big nut on it? |

It sounds like the previous owner was the kind of guy who would put Chevy parts in a Ford.
That doesn't look at all familiar to any 500 I've had. Might have been a jury rigged (also known as field engineering) way to capture the forend or something in a buggered up gun, along with the glue you mentioned.

From the linked website: http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Products/802720A.htm
it would appear to be an "old style" mag tube. |

I found this with a Google. It sounds like the guy knows what he is talking about if that helps you.
