Yes — the McLean Shotgun Sling fits the Mossberg 500 Tactical. The front of the sling carries its own hook, so up front it only needs a loop to clip onto — never a second hook.
Front attachment
Varies by variant — varies by configuration.
Some tactical 500s carry a forend loop; others need a mag-cap or barrel-clamp adapter.
Rear attachment
Sling swivel stud — already on the gun.
Most 500-series stocks carry a rear stud.
You need a sling swivel in the stud. The stud is a threaded post, not a loop — a standard sling swivel screws into it and gives the sling something to attach to.
Why this sling on a Mossberg 500 Tactical
Duty, home-defence and competition use put a shotgun on and off the shoulder constantly, often with a hand busy loading. Retention matters more here than raw comfort: the gun has to lock against the body and release without a second thought.
The McLean design is a two-point sling with a patented retention system: it cinches tight to hold the shotgun against your body hands-free, then releases into a ready position in one pull. It ships in one size and adjusts, so there is no length to choose.
Fitting it
- Clear the shotgun. Tube unloaded, action open, chamber checked visually and physically.
- Front: clip the sling hook to the varies by variant.
- Rear: attach at the sling swivel stud.
- Adjust wearing your kit. A setting dialled in without a vest comes up short once it is on.
- Check the transition. It should shoulder without pulling tight across your chest.
Questions
Does the McLean Shotgun Sling fit a Mossberg 500 Tactical?
Yes. At the front the sling uses its own hook, so it needs a loop to clip to: the varies by variant (added separately). At the rear it attaches at the sling swivel stud (already fitted).
Do I need a snap hook for the front of my Mossberg 500 Tactical?
No. The McLean sling carries its own hook at the front as part of the retention system. It only needs something to hook onto — a factory loop, a swivel, or any loop you add. Buying a second snap hook for the front is wasted money.
What do I need to buy for a Mossberg 500 Tactical?
At the front you need a loop: Some tactical 500s carry a forend loop; others need a mag-cap or barrel-clamp adapter. At the rear the sling swivel stud is already there too.
What length sling do I need for a Mossberg 500 Tactical?
There is no length to choose. The sling ships in one size and adjusts, so the same sling covers carry and cinched retention. Set it wearing the kit you actually carry in — a setting dialled in without a vest or heavy coat comes up short once it is on.
