Has anyone installed the Sidewinder box magazine system yet or the spec-ops stock? If so, what is your honest opinion of it? It seems like they would be great. I want them for home and personal defense.

I have installed the sidewinder, it was a PITA, :twisted: see "Mossberg 500 mag tube hell" for several easy ways to remove the mag tube. It looks great and the action is super slick. I have also ordered the spec-ops stock that should arrive any day now. I am stocking up on buckshot and slugs for the range after I get the stock installed.

I bought the sidewinder kit with the drum for $180. 2 places that sell the mags cheap are:

www.andean-inc.com (6 round $40, drum $75)
www.islandtactical.com (6 round $42, drum $85)

I have the Spec-Ops. Very cool stock. Haven't had a chance to use it yet so I can't comment on performance.

Thanks for the input. Let me know how the stock works.

lyrad99 - what size barrel do you have on your Mossy? I plan on getting a 18.5 inch when I install the sidewinder mag system and stock. I have read the post on removing the mag tube. I plan on removing mine when I get all the parts.

24" ported, rifle sights, parkerized. It was the shortest barrel I could find on a parkerized gun for the lowest price.
