Default Mossy 500 Thumbhole Stock

Hey guys and gals, i'm looking for an after market Thumbhole Stock to fit my Mossy 500. My Mossy 500 is covered in Mossy Oak Breakup so i'd prefer a Thumbhole stock that matches but if not no biggy. Any help/links would be appreciated.

If you go to a thumbhole stock,you'll have a lot of trouble trying to operate the tang safety because you'll have to totally lose grip to operate the safety then put thumb inside thumbhole-a lot of movement when a turkey is in front of you.

I think the Boyd's thumbhole stocks look really sharp! they are laminated wood but i suppose you could take it someplace to get it dipped to match the rest of your gun. I'm going to get one for my 870 before turkey season

I put one of the AR-15 type collapsible stocks on my Mossberg 500 and am having the same problem. I think I'm gonna get an 870 for this purpose and keep the 500 with the original wood stock just because it's such a PITA to get to the safety. Just my $.02.
