That is far easier to toss on that I expected. I just picked up the 590 STX, and I need to swap the forward guard, cheap A2 stock and I need to add a sling. Glad I found your video, you are already 3 steps ahead of me! Cheers
Glad it helped!
For the weapon light, you could mount directly to the forend mlok weak side, with a pressure switch mounted strong side.
Yeah that’s a good call although I might have to take a break on putting anymore money into this thing 😃
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors I use a TLR-1 HL on my pistol, but it easily attaches to a Pic rail on the forend. It’s a great dual purpose light for pistols and long guns.
@@nomsolo9935 that’s a good idea. I have one of those also
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors
@@UnprofessionalOutdoorswhere did you get that shell holder on the side?
Try mounting the sling on the other side of the butt stock. It holds tighter to your body when it’s hanging down.
Thanks for the tip. Tried it out and it does feel better.
Great video thanks I was considering that front mount but a suggestion try switching that back mount to the opposite side it will hold the gun closer to the body and allow you to transition to your off shoulder without sling interference.
Thanks for the suggestion and glad you liked the video. I’ll try running the sling on the opposite side next time I’m at the range.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors check out twang and bangs video on the 590 he explains it well I learned it at a course myself.
@@michaelbernier7703 awesome will do. That channel is pretty great.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors How have you liked the sling setup as depicted in the video vs. what Michael has suggested here? I am working on a 835 build and while I would typically run a sling as he said, doing so wouldn't be an option as I intend to run a shell card on the right side of the stock.
@@scottgoldfarb95 So far I've been very happy with this sling setup. The stock rides up a little higher than an AR that has the sling mounted to the opposite side when slung and pulled in tight, but it hasn't been an issue when running drills or anything.
U Need To Put On The
STREAM LIGHT TL-RACKER
Forend, It Has A Built In 1000 Lumen Light....
Those do look nice and I do like Streamlight. Might have to pick one up.
Super helpful video bro - thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for showing that you can configure the clamp entirely without the paraclip mount!
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks, glad you liked it and hope it helped.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors Yes. Big help for me. Thank you very much.
Man, doesn't that light punish your fingers if you try shooting while using the push button, or if your grip isn't perfect? I gave up on temporary on, and ended up moving my Viridian X5L way up towards the muzzle to avoid any more split fingernails.
I have not run into that, but have to admit that any night shooting I’ve done with it I just left the light on and was not toggling on/off a ton.
Just curious why did you install the sling to the left side of the stock vs the right side? I've seen others cross mounting the sling for ease of transitions and pivoting from aiming to shouldering. Perhaps its just personal preference?
It’s just personal preference. I had tried the right side, but unlike the attachment point on an AR stock which is closer to the edge of the stock, this one is pretty far in the center so the slick has a lot of stock to ride against. Just felt weird to me, but I might switch to play with it again. Regretting not getting the type 2 attachment point so I could easily switch sides.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors cool makes sense. After watching your video I ordered the type 2 so I can try out both sides and see what I like. Crazy that all these little extra bits and bobs cost $20 each…. Guess that’s how it all works in the gun world though.
@@garteaga482 yeah it’s crazy that it didn’t come as part of the stock. Magpul is kind of like the Apple of the gun world. All separate components to spend money on. But it is quality.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors agreed and well said. I guess you gotta pay to play? 🤷🏽♂️
Why have you put this shade of dookie brown on such a majestic beast? Who hurt you like this?
Dookie comes in many shades, some just require medical attention. Any of the Magpul color options could technically be a shade of dookie.
This answers my question I think. I got the same forward sling mount for a Remington 870 and wasn't sure if it also worked as a QD only mount not using the hook attachment. I purchased a qd sling on both sides and thought I'd have to get a different sling and use the hook attachment
Yeah mine is setup as QD only.
pretty corny Magpul makes you buy these, just got a type 1 for my 10/22 backpacker $15 but just realized I need TWO! one for the front also, so $30 bucks plus whatever sling and QD mounts, so basically a $100 to put a sling and that's just for one side, if you wand QD's on both sides that's a type 2 mount for another $30 bucks
Yeah it’s a scumbag move on their part. The good news is that they are quality products, but the mounts should come with it.
Very nice setup. Clear instructions for mounting the QDM’s which is appreciated by many I’m sure. What was your reasoning on going with the Mesa aluminum side saddle vs either a Vang Comp velcro side saddle or plain Velcro shotgun card? Thanks 👍
Hey thanks, pretty happy with the setup. As for the Mesa sidesaddle, it really was just timing for me. I went through a few hard mounted side saddles that were garbage before finding the Mesa Tactical a few years back. Completely stand by the Mesa sidesadle since it's very durable, light weight, retains shells well, and just overall a great product. More recently the velcro cards became more popular and I have to admit if I was building out a shotgun now I'd probably go that route. At time point thought I've just put a lot of money and time into this setup, so I'm letting it marinate in the safe for a while before coming back and making any changes.
2:40 'Deez Nuts' 🤣 Thanks for the review. I'll be getting this sling.
Lol, glad it helped, it’s a great sling.
he literally saw the instructions and ignored them wtf😹
Why not keep your light on the side you want it on and attach a Magpul swivel mount on your forend mlock ??
Hmm not sure I'd like the sling attached to a moving portion of the gun. But that could work.
Get a streamlight
I have Streamlight products on pretty much most of my other guns.
Nice 👍 how would you go about installing an single point sling on a Mossberg 590a1 with the Magpul stock, and Magpul forend?
You would need some kind of mounting point where the stock meets the receiver. I have not tried that though. I'd worry that with how heavy the barrel is it would be so off balance when you have it slung, but again I have not tried it, so it could work fine.
Hi, I searched a lot for this sling. Man I searched a lot. Exactly what I want, but it will work on a winchester 1873, .357 magun. Do you have a link to a store where I can buy it. excellent video!!!
It’s a great sling, I now have 3 of them. Should work on any long gun with QD mounts. Here’s the link.
magpul.com/ms4-dual-qd-sling-gen-2.html?mp_global_color=118
Where did you get the tiny nuts from? Or what size are they? Good job on the magpul upgrade.
I was born with tiny nuts. But the Magpul forward sling mount kit also comes with some.
😂 What about the piece to make the other side qd? Did you have to buy that separate to replace that hook part?
Nope, that came with the Magpul kit. They just do not do a good job at advertising what is in the kit.@@newbiegarden
Great video, thanks. This is exactly what I want to do. To clarify on the forward mount (I want to use only qd attachments): it comes with the clip attachment, but you don’t have to use it? And if you choose not to use the clip, you can just install the mount and it is compatible with the qd sling, correct? Thanks in advance.
Yes that is correct. Had the same exact question when I bought the mount.
Can that magpul front mount warp the barrel from the sling pulling on it or shaking around?
The barrel on a 590A1 is heavy walled, so it would have to take a lot of force to warp that barrel. If that kind of force was being exerted on an attached sling, I think a sling would rip or the mount would break before anything happened to the barrel.
Thanks for the video, been looking for some insight on parts and such, this video a huge help, also on the stock have a sling screw on the bottom, did it come like that or did you fo that yourself? Either way thanks for review.
Glad it helped. I put that sling screw on the original stock myself. Just drilled a hole into the plastic and screwed it in.
Did all the mounting hardware come with the front qd mount to make it qd on both sides or did you have to purchase additional hardware? Thanks for the video and your time to make it. It is a big help.
It’s all included to make the front mount work from both sides. Not the same for the stock which sucks.
you put the stock sling mount on the wrong side...it should be out so the sling holds the stock in place when stowed and isnt on your face when deployed...and the anti spin qd up front keeps your sling from winding up...just an fyi...
How you’re explaining it, is how I run my slings on my rifles. I tried that way with this build but since the sling mount is in the middle of the stock instead of near the buttstock (kind of a weird choice by Magpul), it felt pretty awkward on the other side especially when mounting the gun. This setup just works better for me on this gun. Thanks for reaching out though.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors ahh…you didn’t explain that in the video so I was kinda wondering why you ran it like that…I would just loop it through the provided sling mount on the stock and run the qd up front…bet that would work well being closer to the rear…
@@gixxerlouis I have not tried the built in sling loop. Might give that a shot and see how it works. Thanks
Nice video + info. Thank you.
I'm doing it a bit bass ackwards and getting the gun after I have all my parts.
I already bought the same flashlight mount, SGA stock, both inserts, and wanted a 2 point sling...... I'm right handed, + don't want to move the light to the right. Lol.
So, I am trying to figure out what the F to do about the front sling mount. Lol.
On top of that I planned on getting a 590 12g 18.5" instead of the 20" , which also meens less tube to mount the front to. Lol.
Although there is a qd mount made for that flashlight mount.....but that would put the sling on the opposite side of the gun I was planning.
I'm trying to wrap my head around my sling usage, and mounting, but trying NOT to get my sling wrapped around my head or anything else. ??? Lol
I guess I'll have to figure that last part out after I get the gun.
Now I have to re-think the 20" vs the 18.5 I wanted, and if it will even matter,.... concerning the front mounting position. Ahhhhhh !!! Lol
Did you get this worked out? I'm also right handed and have learned how to operate the light on the right side with my left hand pretty easily. Just took a lot of dry fire practice.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors Yeah. I decided to just go with a Grovtec mag cap with a qd swivel.
Not my #1 choice of mounting but, It seems like the best option on the short list.
I guess I'll see how it works out. I don't really plan on slinging it much, but it would be nice to, as well as train with, + you never know..... When u can't do something, is always when u need/want to. Lol.
Thanks for the question+ the suggestion.
You have a good one. 👍
This video was quite informative, cheers bud!
Awesome, glad it helped
Quick question. I am planning on installing this on a 590 that is shared between a left and right handed shooters. Is there a QD slot on each side so it can be attached differently on a daily bases without unscrewing it . I am talking about the barrel one. Thanks in advance
Yes there is for the front mount. Buttstock needs 2 mount kits, one installed on each side.
What side saddle is that? Thanks!
It’s a Mesa Tactical
@UnprofessionalOutdoors thanks for getting back to me, I know this video is a little old. Have you had any issues with the saddle coming loose or damaging the holes in the receiver? I've seen some people mention those issues with the side mount saddles.
@@aaron38144 no that side saddle has been great. Only issue with it is one of the screws that hold it to the frame stripped, but the company replaced it pretty quickly. It also makes a complete breakdown since you have to remove it to get the receiver out (or at least partially, which is how i stripped the screw in the first place).
Where can I buy that swivel mount kit? I purchased one on Amazon and it only came with the "stud". No additional hardware
Are you referring to the ones I replaced with the Magpul mounts? The old forward one came equipped on the 590A1 and the stud screwed into the back of the bayonet mount. The old one I had on the stock was from Uncle Mike’s unclemikes.com/swivels-slings/
You probably got a type 2 then. Type 1 comes with the hardware.
Is there a dimple on that stock to install a traditional swivel stud?
No, just the plug for the Magpul insert.
Very helpful. Just got a 590 and going for pretty much the same setup
Glad it’s helpful, I’m pretty happy with this setup. Do you have a 590A1 or a 590? Some of the parts are specific to the A1 since the barrel is fatter.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoorsused your video to figure this out, but there is a part specific sling mount for the 590A1. It's part #MAG493. The normal mount for the 500/590 does not fit in the A1 barrel.
@@Pooters73 Yeah since the barrel is fatter on the A1 you need a specific mount. I have the link to that in the description.
Can this sling mount be mounted to the 18.5 inch barrels?
@@dingus5067 I think so, but you may want to check with Magpul. This is specifically designed for the barrel thickness of the 590A1. As for barrel length, it looks like the 18.5 inch models do not have the bayonet lug on the barrel, so there should be enough room for this mount.
homie shooting is flinching bad
thank you for this video. of all the vids and comments I've seen only your vid covered the qd sling mount on the buttstock. i have been wondering if the buttstock has the capability for qd. i did not see it addressed in anywhere.
my problem now is the front mount sling mount as my barrel seem to be bigger and the bolt won't reach the nut-end. i might have to see if i can find a heavy duty allen bolt at a hardware store.
Glad it helped. I wanted to be thorough since vids that were out there weren’t giving me the info I wanted on the front sling mount. Do you have a Mossberg 590A1? Magpul makes a specific forward sling mount for it since the A1 barrels are thicker.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors thank you. ill check on that one.
What size socket?
What brand/model is the side shell holder?
I have this one from Mesa Tactical www.mesatactical.com/products/sureshell-aluminum-carrier-for-moss-500-590a1-mav88-6-shell-12-ga.html
The Grit Republic Thanks for the info
Thanks for the video man I bought one of these off of a buddy and had no idea how to get QD on there
Glad it helped!
Hello sir, what is the side saddle that you are using?
It’s from Mesa Tactical.

Will this work on the 590A1 - 9 Shot?
Yes, that is what shotgun is in the video.
Great video. I’m waiting on my Magpul forend before I mount my sling attachment. I had planned on moving my light to the front and putting the sling attachment behind it so I can keep the light on the left side for my thumb.
Thanks! I had tried that initially but there wasn’t a lot of room for my thumb with everything on one side.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors I see what you’re saying. I ended up moving my light to the other side also. I’m able to activate pretty easy with my middle finger
Will this forward sling mount work on the 18.5 barrel? A couple reviews state it's only for a 20 or 18.5 + extension. Thx.
You might want to check with Magpul to be sure but I do t see why not. It’s not that wide and if you have at least an inch or 2 on your barrel and mag tube with the forend forward, then it should fit.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors thx for the reply. I checked with Magpul and I’m good to go!
@@ulhpilot7757 awesome good to know
I have a 590a1 w / 18.5 barrel, and it works fine, I just wish the magpul mount would let the swivel, swivel 360°
Thanks for the video. Very helpful
Glad it was helpful!
What brand holster do you have for your pistol?
It’s Safariland. I have a bideo breakdown of my belt and holster here ua-cam.com/video/LujAqp15Ag8/v-deo.html
What side saddle is that?
Mesa tactical
Thanks for the video. Didn't know what I needed for this setup and wasn't getting much help at gun stores 😕. 👍👍
Glad it helped! I’ve had the same experience at some shops. They feel you need to be an expert to even shop there.
For real 🤣🤣
Cool video! Thanks for posting
Thanks for watching!
Your video helped me! Thanks
Awesome glad it helped
What a great setup!!! Quick question we’re exactly did you get that optic from? I have been everywhere trying to find that exact one!
Thank you! The ghost ring sight came on the shotgun when I purchased it. Mossberg does sell a kit, but it looks like you'd need a gunsmith (or some skills) to install since it involves some drilling and welding.
amzn.to/2UdQvU2
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors I really do appreciate it!!
This is old but I’m pretty sure they’re XS brand. They make the ghost ring sights on my factory A1 rail. His are a slightly different hooded version but I’m pretty sure they’re XS too. I could be wrong.
Which type swivel for the butt stock? Type 1 or type 2?
It’s a type 1, but I wish I went with a type 2 so I had the option to attach to either side for not a lot more.
If you want to have the option of either side you have to get type 1 and type 2. Magpul nickel and dime-ing at it's finest.
2:38
Where can I get those front and rear sights?
Those were installed when I bought the gun. Looks like Mossberg sells a kit, but they’re out of stock.

Hi what saddle is that?
Mesa tactical
Nice review. Do you know if the forward sling mount will work on the 18.5” barrel?
Thanks. I think you’d want to use the one Magpul sells for the 500/590 and not the one for the 590A1.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors Mossberg 590 A1 come in 18.5 inch barrels also.
Mossberg makes a 590 a 1in and a 18.5 barrel also
@@michaelbottjer3385 I think the differences for the mount are based on thickness of the barrel and not length. A1 is a lot heavier barrel.
@@UnprofessionalOutdoors oh thank you.
Love Magpul.
They make great stuff
that shit looks so heavy lol
Yeah the stock 590A1 is beefy. Could use it as a club if you run out of rounds
