All I would do is camo it and find a choke/shell combo that it shoots well.

First thing I'm doing to mine is putting on a stock with a pistol grip....regular stock seems to put my wrist at a weird angle when sitting and cramps after a while. Pistol grip stock seems a lot more comfortable.
Second mod will be having the whole thing dipped, probably in bottomland

Gomer Pyle I did the pistol grip on mine for the same reason and liked the way it felt shooting it but that pistol grip on there made the gun really uncomfortable to carry around. I ended up selling that stock and went with a Boyd's thumbhole and have no complaints now. Try a tactical sling if you go that route, I kept the same sling mounts you would typically have.
I feel the same way. I do t have a thumbhole anymore but just didn't care for the pistol grip.
Do you want to hear him gobble, or do you want to kill him.

Uncomfortable in what way?

I never have liked the thumbhole or pistol grip stocks. I use a Browning X-cellerator sling. I carry my shotgun across my back when walking. When I setup, I can slide the sling tight against the gun out of the way. I can swing my gun and not worry about it hanging on something.
Set it up so it fits the way you like to hunt.

Where the bottom of the grip came out would poke my side, just felt akward to carry. Mine was a Phoenix Arms kick-lite. The other thing I had trouble with was the cheek slap when u shot. I tried an after market comb and it did help but I just went a different route. The one thing I did love about it besides the adjustable stock and the way it looked was the recoil reducer spring. It felt like it took 50% of the recoil out of that Moss 835 while patterning it. Didn't notice it while shooting a turkey. Lop can cause cheek slap. I had a gun that it was horrible on. It would bruise my cheek every time I shot it. Its gone

Look at Knoxx stocks. I have the specops recoil reducing stock. Helps tame the Nitro's. Look at Rhino chokes.
I have been toying with idea of putting a single point sling with attachment point at base of receiver. That way could carry gun in a position that you could actually deploy weapon quickly. But, gonna have to have short barrel for that to work..
I use a scope, rest of these goober guzzlers think that is blasphemy.
Getting gun dipped very good idea

That's not a bad idea Blade.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. Keep them coming.
I've looked a little bit for a replacement pistol grip or thumb hole stock but it looks like most are for a 12 gauge model 500. ATI makes one that fits it. I've got one on my 500 20. Carries just fine with a sling too. No discomfort. The LOP is not adjustable though. I dont worry about that part though. I dont like the way my cheek weld feels on an adjustable LOP pistol grip stock.
