hi, thanks in advance for any help. i just bought a mossberg 590(i think) for resale. i haven't been able to find any exact matches to help determine a value, there seems to be many versions of this gun. this model has a laser(aimpoint?) built right into the forearm. this is what i cant find anywhere. any ideas? it came with pistol grip and full butt stock. heat shield etc. also, the laser doesn't seem to work, can i change the batteries? if so, how? thanks again, jag

  Good Day Forum,
  I have a Mossberg 590 'crowd pleaser' and was wondering if I can put a longer hunting barrel on the receiver for turkeys, etc. I know that you can change tubes on the 500 series but wasn't sure about the 590.
  Any thoughts on this???
  Thanks to all replies.

  I have the 590 also. I can tell you that the laser is not factory but can't help with repairs. The pistol grip and full stock are included with the gun. The heat shield is about a $35. option. It's been a while but I think I paid about $75. extra for the Mariner finish.

  thanks jeff but i just found it in the bluebook and the laser is factory. its actually built into, not onto the forearm.

  Not only do I stand corrected, I'm going to look into buying that accessory.

  jeff, i just talked to the factory, they have discontinued this option, it was not cost affective to compete with the aftermarket aimpoints. which would, i guess be your best option.
