aftermarket mossberg safety

**deputy** · 07-26-2010, 11:31 AM

fixing to order in the next month a "metal" replacement safety to remedy a broken plastic one on an old mossberg 500a riot that was given to me in trade for an old lee challenger press and some dies and such.

All safety parts releated items with the exception of the plastic button are present.

there are a couple of options available at brownells. sort of thinking about this one.

anyone tried such or am i better off with the orginal mossberg "metal" replacement?
the one pictured is "steel" while the replacement mossberg part will be aluminum.

The Brownell's steel replacement is a one-time, permanent fix.
Plastic and even aluminum may not be.
Do it once and move on.

You could do like I did and take a piece of wood and carve yourself a replacement. I used a scrap of walnut and it has held up about twenty years now.

Better to use steel and get your monies worth!

Try Art (I believe) Havlin. They are the go tos for any Mossberg parts.
