mossberg 590a1 Hacks ?

[Shriner]

I just got a used 590a1 from RJ's . I have a sling, sling mounts , red mount coming from gg&g . I have a Primary Arms SLX-RS10 red dot on hand . What are some hack/mods I can do to help run it better ? I have a small hang-up at the mag mouth, and the rims hangs up at time , can I radius the opening a little ? Will a Dead Mule recoil reducer help any as am turning 63 and does not take recoil like I use to .

opening up that loading port may be a help. I feel like recoil reducers don't do much in the way of helping. Adding weight can help slow the recoil, but that has its own downsides. Maybe get a nice recoil reducing butt pad?

Training is a big help with running the weapon and handling recoil. a few good techniques can really help with recoil, or at least managing recoil.

With my heart issues everythng is harder to do .
Needing weight is not an issue and it has a good-sized pad .
No one has any tac shotgun tips/hack to pass on ?

Assuming you have solid points of contact and the shotgun’s length of pull, and drop fit you right, My only other advice is to consider a semi auto. Regardless of load and action mechanism my semi autos recoil considerably less than any other action type I have; and are much quicker to reacquire targets and make follow up shots. If you’re partial to the mossberg brand, I would give the 940 pro tactical a look. If you aren’t, the Beretta A300 ultima patrol and the 1301 are fantastic, smooth shooting tactical shotguns with fantastic reliability.
