Title: Pistol Grips on Mossberg 835
Post by: JellyHead Key on January 21, 2014, 04:33:49 PM
I just bought a Mossberg 835 and I'm wanting to install a camo pistol grip to it. Any suggestions on where I can find some on the net? I can find black pistol grips but can't find any camo grips. Thanks

Might try cheaper than dirt, too

Thanks a lot! I've checked cheaper than dirt and all I've seen were the solid black.

You definitely need to take a hard look at the Knoxx specops recoil reducing stock.

This. Great addition if you want the pistol grip. Really helps soak up the recoil.

I just pulled my Mossberg 835 out of the box and can't seem to get this fiber optic sight to go on my shotgun. It just isn't matching up, can someone please help me with this issue. I may sound like a idiot but I can't get it to go on there. The back piece latches in but the screws don't have anywhere to screw into?

What kind of sight is it?

If you like open fiber optic sights I would strongly suggest getting some fully adjustable sights.  The truglo magnum gobble dot pro series are awesome.  I've got them on my 835 and they fixed the issue of my 835 shooting high.  They're adjustable for elevation and windage.  The factory fiber optic sights on my gun were crappy.

The factory fiber sights won't go on my gun. The front piece toward the choke goes on fine, the back sights won't go on it. Am I just mis looking at this? The back piece latches into the little clip and from there I'm lost on how to connect the rest of it.

Those factory sights are junk. Mine were off and flimsy from the start. Ordered dead ringer beard buster sights for $23 shipped..... Love em!

The factory mossberg sites should just clamp on.  Your rear site has a screw that is for elevation adjustment.   For windage adjustment just lightly lift the blade and put in the appropriate slot.  That being said.....make sure your windage is always in the appropriate slot because it can easily get bumped.

I have an 835 and was thinking of a pistol grip on it until I looked at my friends.  With the safety on top of the receiver there is too much movement of my thumb to get to it. I guess you can take the safety off when the bird is far off but it would not be safe :-\

I just bought the black one and dipped it to match my gun.  Came out around the same price as buying a camo one and got what I wanted.

I usually remove the barrel and slide the rear sight on. Supposedly is will clamp on but . . .

I second the make sure its in the right slot comment, missed a gobbler after working/sneaking for two hours because of this.  Flat missed at 35 yards and couldn't figure it out!  A dollop of JB Weld fixed that situation.
