In reply to Ron Lohman. A 12 gauge Magpul SGA stock fits both the 20 and 12, and can be adjusted via spacers. Choate also makes a AR style adjustable stock that’ll fit the 20. There’s an assortment of companies that now make them.

What do you have mounted on the receiver? I tried zooming in, but still couldn’t tell what it was.

Does Mossberg offer an adjustable stock for this gun? If not, do you know who does?

In reply to Darkman. They also make low-power 12 Ga loads for those that need reduced recoil, for whatever needs...

One thing I noticed owning a 500 (12 gauge), is that there are more mods available for the 590. That might be something to consider, if that matters to you. If I was starting over, I might consider spending more to get the 590. I now have ARs (for defense), so the stock 500, with interchangeable barrels, works for my needs.

The Mrs. has a Mossberg 500 20 gauge tactical as her home defense shotgun. She can handle it’s recoil better than a 12 gauge. Worst of all for anyone who breaks into our house is she aims for the crotch and doesn’t miss.
