I bought a brand new Mossberg 590 a week ago. Tonight i went to install a Mossberg factory heatshield on my 590 cruiser w/breacher and guess what? I am here repainting my barrel as the heatshield did not work and totally destroyed my gun. The box stated for: 500 and 590 models with plain barrels. My gun to look at it qualifies!! So now i have large gouges in the metal of the barrel and a cheap primer(black) to model after the parkerization. So, to anyone wanting a heatshield on there mossberg, I would advise to put this on 500's only without heavy barrel. *Cruiser models are heavy barreled. I have heard of them fitting the 88 mavericks but am not sure. Repeat if you like your gun do not use this item unless 100% sure it will work!!I emailed mossberg in regards to this and expect a new barrel for my gun. They said it works on 590's that is false advertisement and it has costed me a barrel over it. If mossberg does not stand behind this i will be trading the gun off and i could care less if i take a 150.00 loss on the trade. I will not own a gun that has a company that wont back their accessories. Anyone wants this heatshield and knows for sure it will work on there mossberg give me 15 bucks for it and pay the shipping!! I will be tossing it in the garbage if it doesn't sell in 2 months!!
