I know that aftermarket aluminum buttons are available, and I wholeheartedly recommend that simple conversion.re: the plastic slide button on the Mossberg, you can buy an aluminum one and swap them out. Not that awful expensive to do, I'm considering doing it myself
What gripes me, though, is that Mossberg has known forever that the plastic button breaks, and has never done a damn thing about it. What would it cost for them to start using an aluminum button? 8 cents, maybe?
