You can upgrade from a factory Mossberg forend to a Magpul M-LOK forend because it gives you better control, durability, and modularity, making it probably one of the best upgrade options for a Mossberg 500 or 590. The Magpul forend designed especially for 12-gauge Mossberg pump-action models ticks all the boxes while not confounding your setup.
Not merely aesthetic. It's made from reinforced polymer, with a solid, ergonomic grip that feels stable when the going gets tough. The mossberg forend is relatively longer than the factory forend, thus providing a broader surface area and extended reach. Particularly when using it with a mounted light or utilizing the shotgun for protection purposes, where grip position and response time count more.
Its M-LOK slots are its main distinguishing features. Attachments like weapon lights, vertical grips, or sling mounts don't need any adapters, hacks, or custom fitting. It's the real modularity that makes your shotgun all it ought to be.
Well, the fit is snug and solid, and there is no rattle or flex at all. Not compatible with Mossberg 500/590 12-gauge models with a heat shield. And it takes a few simple steps to install-no gunsmith needed. And once on, it stays on.
What makes getting this specific Mossberg forend an intelligent purchase is that it enhances function while not coming with added weight or bulk. The reliability and simplicity of the Mossberg in structure remain intact, but it offers modern flexibility. This is one of those rare parts that improves a home-defense shotgun and also prepares it for the range, improving overall handling and making the gun feel better in use.
It's now available at Shotgun Forend. For those dead serious about their shotgun rig, this is just practically what you'd call common-sense upgrades.
