Title: Mossberg 500 Transformation
Post by: Extremesolo on March 17, 2014, 07:45:49 AM
A few weeks ago I bought a Mossberg 500C 20 ga. with a wood stock to set up for my 10 year old son to use.  I knew what I wanted to do to it so I finally got it all set up last night.  I have not had a chance to shoot it yet but hopefully it works well for him.  I installed an ATI talon stock, scope rail with burris speed dot scope and it came with a pure gold .555 choke.  I left the stock wood forearm on it because it is a little longer than the ATI forearm and it fits my son a little better.  I put it all together and then painted it with an ASAT paint scheme.

Looks great. I want the ati stock with the rubber grip for my 500. Plan on painting mine OD green. What kind of coating did you use?

I just used the krylon/rustoleum camo spray paint.  It has a dull finish and is fairly durable.  I put a few coats of matte clear coat on top to help seal it.  This is the third gun I have painted this way.  You would think I would have it all figured out by now but I know we could have done a little better job on it.  My 835 that we painted about 5-6 years ago looks a little better.  The good news is that we can re-do it in about an hour if we are so inclined.
