Does this need a rail or rib on the barrel to work? Or will it fit on a plain round barrel? I have a Mossberg 500 with just the bead on the end.

yes it needs a rail, or a rib... only a barrel needs a fiber optics collar which i found doesn't work well at all... Better off buying a new fiber optics bead...

The kit above does need a rib. HiViz does make a "plain barrel" sight. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/s/ref=is_s_ss_i_0_9?k=hiviz+plain+barrel+fiber+optic+shotgun+sight&sprefix;=hiviz+pla

this one needs a vent rib style barrel. there are styles available for round barrel applications but not this particular one

Yes it does need a rail. A plain barrel won't work. It has a magnet that slides over the rail.

These are rail mount models. Keep looking. There is a good fiber optic sight that will thread onto where the bead was. I bought one for a Mossberg that has a rail but wouldn't fit with any rail mounted models.

The HiVis BirdBuster Fiber Optic needs a rib on the gun. You can buy a round adapter for round barrel guns.

again, you'd need a sling stud. I dry fitted it on my Mosin (no stud) and it doesn't match the contour of the stock. looks kind of awkward. also, I use it on an AR, so BIG difference in recoil between a 5.56x45 with a buffer tube, and a bolt action 7.62x54. I'd look for something different. (FYI- works great on the AR-15)

Mine will fit the rail and work fine on my 308 and 223 but they are kind of designed to be almost permanent, you have to use an allen wrench to put it on or take it off and if your optic takes up too much of the rail you won't have room to mount it

There's some adjustment within the rings. I have mine on a Ruger SRH 7.5" barrel and it works great. Reviewing the other two answers, the Ruger has fixed rings i.e. no rail, just lock in points on the gun. So with the Ruger system, the only adjustment is to loosen the rings and move the scope fore and aft within it's range of movement.

Yes it will work on the barrel but not on the bolt area, you will need a different type of scope mount for that.

I have it mounted on my Mossberg 715. I first put it on and then marked the hole on the barrel. Took it off and carefully/lightly drilled a small hole for the set screw. I did this because others complained about it coming off while shooting. It has not moved.

this is made for AR15 forends that dont have a hole, if you have a quad rail setup this will not work, and will only work on shallow or thin walled forends.

Yes in fact it works on both the mossberg 500 and the 88 but it is strictly for the 18.5 and 20 inch barrels .

It requires a riser. Tge rings that ship with the scope do not allow the front objective to clear the rail or barrel.

If your Mossberg is drilled and tapped, you need to order a metal rail section that mates to the surface of the receiver. There are quite a few out there; just search for "Mossberg 500 scope rail." This is a polymer rail section, and even if the screw holes lined up, the screws and anchors for the mount would not fit the holes in your receiver. Additionally, the rail would most likely break during normal use, as it will not mate properly with the surface of your shotgun's receiver. Hope that answers your question!

Not sure if you can use a bead sight. I mounted mine with a slug barrel attached (traditional sights). Without the scope I can still use the regular sights.

I've got a 590A1 and a 500, it fits both of them. The loop in the handle where normally a barrel goes threw, actually sits right at the very edge of the magazine cap on both, just resting. It's real strength is from where it attaches to the lug.

IT WILL FIT ON AND WORK ON ANY I REPEAT ANY FIREARM/BB GUN/PELLET GUN/ WEAPON THAT HAS A SCOPE RAIL!!! I'm sorry but with some of the questions people ask on here especially about this scope I pray to God they don't own firearms! Plus I'm sure if any of u would actually read the description it tells u EXACTLY what type of rail it will fit on. Yes, in most cases u r firearm needs a scope rail to mount a scope. Does yours have one? Beats me it's YOUR gun you tell me! LOL Come on people!

Does it have a rail system? This light will only fit onto a picatinny rail setup. I do not know if one is or can be attached to the mossberg 500. note: Just checked and a rail system can be setup for the 500. So again, if it has a rail, this should fit it. The light is very nice and very bright. Hope this helps.

If the barrel doesn't have a vented rib it should work. Pictures I've seen look to be okay, but I'm not familiar enough to know how all the models are configured. Hope that helps.

I purchased the Blackhawk Butstock Shell holder for my Mossberg 500. That model should fit most "standard" gun stocks.

I have this installed on my Marlin 45/70 and 444 lever action rifles. They both were pre-drilled for scope mounts. The part has a lot of screw mounting holes to accomodate different receivers. Should ve mounted on a flat surface. If you're not pre-drilled a gunsmith can do that. It is working well for me.
