Been diving into shotguns lately and am perplexed by the stupidity of this whole slide tube thing...
Why are these so hard to find?
Ultimately this is the part that is attached to the action bars where your forend goes...
Many newer 500 series and the Maverick guns dont have tubes, but just have the plastic grip and the action bars directly pinned to them.
These things are impossible to find... except for a few lame retailers and ebay where you will pay well over $100 for one.
It seems like there is a huge market for these things, Mossberg doesnt use them on all their guns anymore... so there is a large number of people who want to upgrade their guns and cant because there are no tubes available.......... Mossberg seems like they are hardly pumping them out, most retailers say backordered and overdue...
Mossberg could probably make a huge profit by selling these, but they dont. These doesnt seem to be ANY aftermarket option... there was something by Hogue but its "discontinued"
I dont understand how something with a huge demand can go unfilled?
Or that manufacturers are churning out accessories for a gun that no one can use... if you bought a Mossy in the last 10 years it doesnt have a tube, but literally every grip requires one from Magpul to streamlight.
You would think that people would start putting these out there or maybe the other manufacturers would design their products to NOT require the tube???
Just had to rant
