GG&G Inc. Sling/Flashlight Mount, fits Mossberg 500, Black

Worked great on my mossberg 500

I have an antiquated Mossberg from back in the day when they were co-producing them under the "Hatfield" label for Montgomery Ward. Yeah, I had to carbon-date it to find out the year of manufacture. Although Mossberg quality has stayed the same, their designs have changed slightly since then. All that to say, finding accessory rails for the old shotgun was a challenge. When I came across this accessory mount, I knew it would be perfect. I needed two things: to mount a light and a sling. This does both with no fuss or frills. Installation is a breeze, you'll just need to make sure that your magazine tube screw is extra tight. So far I haven't found any issues with it, and doubt that I will. I would certainly recommend this for someone looking for a simplistic accessory mount that doesn't break the bank or require a gunsmithing degree to install.

Installed this on my shotgun and it worked perfect super fast shipping great price

Fits solidly on a Mossberg 500, 5+1 with stock forend. Good mount for a tactical light. Other reviews have noted that the sling mount is inconveniently positioned: I agree, I couldn't get it to work with mine, but the stock sling swivel on the takedown bolt still worked fine. The directions say to use pliers or a screwdriver to unscrew the lock washer from the takedown bolt. This didn't work for me, but since the washer isn't reused, I just tapped on the bolt with a rubber mallet to get it free without damaging anything except the washer. I'll try to remember to update this review after putting a few rounds through the shotgun.

Good solid flashlight mount……but, for my application the sling attachment is problematical. I put it on an older bone stock Mossberg 20ga and it fit great! I had a cheap clamp-on mount that held the light solidly but just too far out from the barrel, it was awkward to toggle the light on and off, not holding the light where my thumb naturally ended up when grasping the fore end. I’m using a compact pistol light/laser combo that’s only about 2” or so and the placement of the slot for the sling lets it get tangled up with the light or flop in front of the lens. I don’t think a longer flashlight style gun light would have this problem as much. Other than that except for the cost it’s a good product, I think it’s a little over priced but it IS made very strong and the design is clean and puts the sling on top of the gun which is much better than on the bottom, I don’t use the sling for shooting, of course, it’s only there so I don’t have to set the gun down or lean it against something if I need both hands so I’m trying different ways to attach it that won’t foul things up. All in all if you think it’s worth the money you aren’t getting ripped off or anything it’s well made and tough and will probably last a long, long time. W Buck
