Is this a modified Mossberg?

Here's a good-looking set:

Police Trade Mossberg 500 12 GA Wood Stock Set - Butt Stock + Forend | eBay

This will also fit the Mossberg 590, 835, and more (see pictures). I don't see any cracks. Nice addition to any collection.

A bit over a hundo plus $76 for the tube (saw a few on ebay for under $20) makes the "conversion" more economical than I remember it being so it could be that my memory is off by a bit.

590 based on what looks to be a metal trigger guard.

The 590 has a plastic trigger guard and safety, the 590A1 has heavy-walled barrels; metal trigger guard and safety buttons.

its not a 500, most likely 590

Normally I'd be 100% on board for the metal stuff vs plastic stuff... but from what I hear l the 590A1's metal trigger guard tends to be brittle and can break whereas the plastic guard is more forgiving.

I have a 500 and a 590 and can confirm the plastic trigger guards on both

It is neither, the weapon pictured in the OP is 590A1 Retrograde #51665

Errr....so it's a 590 then.

No more than a S&W 17 is a S&W 18.

Putting it another way, if you ordered a 590A1 and a 590 showed and the gun dealer says "Errr....so it's a 590 then. "

Touche.

maybe i should order a glock 17 and hope for an 18

Yes!!

You've got the idea.

 

[Unka-Boo]

I like it. Had a 590A1 15 or so years ago, great SG. Like a dummy, traded it away. Did make up for it with an ex CHP 870...park and wood for the win.

If I wanted a gun similarly equipped and could promise myself not to run through ship hatches and bend my barrel (because I do that a lot, yeah), I'd just buy this for $399:



Its a 500 and plenty tough. Lighter too.

 

[clearconscience]

Looks like mine without the heat shield. Maybe I'll add that

 

[Alexx1401]

Never mind, i found it. New for 2019, and i love the look of this, the 590A1 Retrograde.

I am not so crazy on the price though, over $900 MSRP.

OUCH! I like the looks too but that price seems a bit steep. If I was going to spend that kind of cash I would opt for the 930 which I VERY much like every time I see one.

Hell yes. Now that price I could easily live with. After all who is going to shoot it enough to "wear out" a 500. That looks nice and the price looks real nice.

What is this one?

 

[No_Regerts]

What is this one?

Its the Mossberg 500 Tactical 8-Shot. Runs $399 as pictured. Same action as a 590, but has a lighter barrel and the magazine tube threads/cap aren't as adaptable. But, if you wanted a tactical shotgun that wasn't going to double as a lug wrench, this ain't bad. Comes standard with heat shield. Like the 590, it has polymer safety switch and trigger guard.

I have a 590A1 or two and they are more front-heavy due to the heavier barrel.

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Hmm, any idea if you can fit wood to it?

 

[F2CMaDMaXX]

Oh actually, there is a retrograde model of the 500 as well, not sure why i didn't see this earlier, sans the heat shield, but that's not hard or expensive to add on?
MSRP of $519 and street price of around $330-ish

It has a smaller mag than the 590, 5 instead of 8, no ghost rings and an 18.5" barrel instead of the 20" on the 590A1 and it's blued instead of parkerized.
