Ghost rings for Mossy 500

General Firearms Shotguns
1

I recently got a Mossberg 500 20" 7 shot and want to put ghost rings on it. I don’t want to spend too much money (under $200 if I can). What options are out there since I can’t get the Mossberg sights anymore? I’ve looked mainly at LPA, Vang, and MMC. Would the Scattergun Techs fit, or would they interfere with the safety? I’m going for simple and clean.

I’m pretty sure you can buy the barrel with the front sight and install the rear yourself, assuming you have the receiver that is drilled and tapped.

Otherwise, I’d look at the XS stuff, or maybe Scattergun tech

I vote for the Scattergun Tech ,I am not sure if they will fit on a Mossy.I would email or call to find out johnl@wilsoncombat.com I talk to John ,when I was installing he was a great help and got to my emails fast,he is in the tech dept so I am sure he could tell you .i installed a set on my 870 and love them

What about Mossberg’s own GRS, I’ve got a set on my 590 and buddy just had a set put on his 870,

your recever should already be drilled and taped for them,

and get the front post swaped out for a XS Big dot , and you’re all set.

Same location as the safett so they don’t work. Least expensive route is the Mossberg factory sights. You should be able to do so for under $200. You may have to look around a little to find them in stock. Mossberg was not shipping any out for a few months. I think they are shipping again now.

I have two differant LPA versions on my shotguns. On one the rear is reciever mounted on the other ir is rail mounted. both work well, but are an expensive option at retail.

yelp your right that would be right on top of the safety .

I’ve looked for the mossberg sights, but can’t find anyone who has them. That’s my preferred option. If not, I think I’ll go with the MMC’s ($155 + installation).

Yeah, I saw that, but they don’t have any available. They said they would in a week or so.

If you’re interested I’ve got a 20" 590 barrel with a set of Mossberg ghost rings and magazine tube I’d let go for $120 plus shipping. I pulled them off my 590 and went with a 18" barrel and bead sight. It’s got about 100 rounds through it, I just didn’t care for the ghost rings.

donr, thanks, but I don’t think that 590 barrel and tube would fit on my 500 receiver. I may be wrong, but I don’t think it will work. I’d be stuck with a barrel and tube I can’t use just to get the ghost rings.

Works fine, that’s how I built my 14" 590/500 SBS. The only thing you would have to do is have the receiver drilled and tapped for the rear sight. You’de end up with a finish difference though since the tube and barrel are parkerized.
