Picatinny rail with ghost rings

Streamlight Protac H-LX with a pressure switch on the other side

Arisaka mount for stream light (highly recommend)

Aluminum milled mount for the pressure switch off of amazon but fits perfectly

590A1 was my first gun as well. Still works like an absolute champ. Solid buy. Enjoy your many years of pump action fun. Only thing ill say is make sure the grub screw on the front sight is properly torqued. Had the sight come off at the range the second time out.

Thank you for this. I hit it with some medium strength thread locker so hopefully it will hold.

Double check the nut that keeps the stock on too.

Honestly everything will rattle itself loose on it lol. Had to put thread locker on my flashlight too since it was coming loose. Same light as well.

I originally had a magpul picatinny section with the original stream light mount and it was so bulky. It also just came loose from dry fire exercises and the screws that held it on were really small. A big reason why I was really happy with the arisaka mount is that it uses stronger screws and removes the need for picatinny.

I think next range day I will take an assortment of needed tools just to keep everything in order and see what gets loose so I can threadlock it. I appreciate the heads up.

I use the mlok mount but yeah the screws are pretty small. Put some blue loctite on them and they've been fine for a few hundred shells but I'll look into the arisaka mount.

Little bit of loctite blue goes a long way
