Just over a year ago Clandestine posted about Numrich selling wood furniture for Mossbergs. I ordered a set right away.

I have a Pistol Grip Cruiser 500, which was an impulse buy a few years ago at 2A. I didn't love shooting it, and wanted more of a classic look. Last month I finally got off my ass and started the project.
The final result:
I accidentally ordered the butt stock with checkering, which was not my desired look, but decided to continue for sake of the education.
Stripped the wood with Citristrip and followed by mineral spirits, steamed out the impressed checkering, and sanded sanded sanded. Dyed the pieces with Fiebing's Dark Brown leather dye, and then 4 coats of real milk paint's tung oil. Had to make some minor adjustments with a dremel and sandpaper to get the buttstock to seat against the receiver.
As I finished the buttstock, I found some cracks I originally thought were just imperfections. I am probably going to order another buttstock to do it over, but the new wood will probably just sit in my basement. Overall I'm really pleased and had to show it off.
