MagpulIndustries MOE M-LOK fits Mossberg 590/590A1 Black Forend

Looks good and feels nice. The M-LOK seems functional. Tool is included which made this a 5 minute installation.

Big upgrade from the stock grip if you're looking to add a flashlight or anything else. Installation was easy, only took me about 5 minutes. Great for the price

I thought this would be easy. But after trying to put it on my shockwave I got online to find you need to cut some of the guts out. I did it and it worked pretty well but was still a little too tight for me to hand off to someone that doesn’t expect it. I ended up just using the stock one. When I get motivated to trim it up a little more I will put it back on. This is my truck gun. There is no point adding a bunch of extras because it could be stolen or god forbid it ever gets used it might be years before I get it back. By now I bet they make one specifically for the shockwave without modification. If not they should. It’s popular enough.

While it may require modification on a Persuader model or any model with a heat shield, the modification is quite easy (tons of YouTube videos) and the results are worth it. Better grip than the factory part and more options for mounting accessories. Plus it looks cool, which is always a bonus.

So the short version of this review is, I like it. It does what it needs to do, has modularity that adds value, and it is affordably priced.The long version is I like it, but I cant say I love it. The major disadvantage of the Magpul MOE forend is its slippery, it requires a death grip to operate if the bolt is gummy or sticky in any way. Now can that be fixed? absolutely, you just need to spend a little more and get some appropriate grip tape, or a one piece pre-cut grip tape section that molds over the bottom. From personal experience, I would say find a higher quality one than the CDS tactical version that is advertised on Amazon because it does not fit the new model forend and is incorrectly described. With grip enhancer installed the forend is highly functional, it has nice high sides that not only allow you to mount accessories to the forend (lights, hand stops, etc) but also it prevents your hand from contacting the barrel meaning you dont really need a heat shield. There in lies another issues with the Magpul MOE forend; without compressing your heat shield in a vice this forend does not play well with heat shields. Obviously you can fix this with sand paper and a vice, but honestly Id say chose one or the other. If you have a heat shield and just want an improved forend with better grip, and you dont care to mount stuff to your forend look into the Hogue rubberized forend, its just about perfect if you must keep your heat shield.So there, that is the good and the bad on the Magpul MOE M-LOK forend for the 500/590 it's well made, feels solid and installation with the included tool was easy. Is it the best forend? No, but it is a good forend, it just might need some modification to fit your needs. I rated 4 stars as its value, build quality, and modularity mostly make up for its shortfalls.

This was an awesome add to the Mossberg. Great grip, great looking. Only issue is you cannot use a heat shield if you have one.

I currently have this on my Maverick 88 and it fits perfectly. Matches my tan butt stock and looks very nice.

If you own a Mossberg 500 series shotgun, you need this. Easily mounts an M-Lok light and QD sling mount. Positive hand grip with forward and rear grip stops. Easily the best and cheapest upgrade for your Mossberg shotgun.
