Description
Getting a sling onto a Mossberg 500 shouldn't mean drilling holes or fighting with the factory hardware. The GrovTec GTSW308 handles the front attachment point by replacing your stock 12 gauge magazine cap with a steel version that has a push button swivel socket built right in. Thread it on, click in the included swivel, and you've got a clean, secure front sling mount that lets you detach in a hurry when you need your hands free.
What the GTSW308 Brings to Your Mossberg 500
This one is machined specifically for the Mossberg 500 in 12 gauge, so the threads match the factory mag tube. The whole thing is built from steel with a black oxide finish, which keeps it looking right on a matte black shotgun and gives it some corrosion resistance for days in the duck blind or the deer woods. GrovTec runs close tolerances on their parts, so once it's snugged down it sits tight with very little rattle.
Sling Options with the GTSW308 Cap
The kit comes with a 1-inch loop push button swivel, which fits any standard 1-inch sling. Because the cap uses GrovTec's push button system, you're not locked into that one swivel either. It'll accept any GrovTec push button swivel or the multi-adaptor down the road, so if you switch slings or want a different setup later, the cap stays and you just change the swivel.
Installation is about as simple as it gets. Back off your factory cap, thread the GTSW308 on in its place, and press the swivel into the socket until it clicks. A few folks have noted the threads can start out snug on a fresh magazine tube, so take your time getting it started square and it'll seat down clean. It's a small upgrade, but it turns sling carry on a Mossberg 500 into a genuinely quick and painless setup.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the GTSW308 fit any Mossberg shotgun or just the 500?
This cap is machined specifically for the Mossberg 500 in 12 gauge, so the threads match that mag tube. GrovTec has indicated it should also fit the Maverick 88 and has confirmed it works with the 590 Shockwave. It will not fit the Mossberg 535, which uses a different mag tube, and the 20 gauge 500 needs a different part.
Do I need any tools to install the GrovTec mag cap?
No special tools are required. You simply unthread your factory magazine cap and hand-thread the GTSW308 on in its place, then press the included swivel in until it clicks. Take your time starting the threads square, since they can feel snug on a brand new mag tube.
Can I use a different sling swivel with this cap later?
Yes. The cap uses GrovTec's push button socket, so it accepts any GrovTec push button swivel as well as the multi-adaptor. That means you can swap swivels or change your sling setup down the road without replacing the cap itself.
What size sling does the included swivel work with?
The kit comes with a standard 1-inch loop push button swivel, so it pairs with any 1-inch wide sling. That covers the vast majority of hunting and field slings on the market.
