Just my opinion, but even though the gun isn't very valuable, I would leave the camo alone. You can source a wood stock and other bits easily and cheaply. You then have both.

I have a number of shotguns and even though the "pump" guns I have are harder to manage for a second shot, it is a bit like driving a manual transmission...once you get the hang of it it is very satisfying and engaging.
The Mossberg 500 is a fine gun. Like Vash mentioned, download the owners manual and get comfortable with all the bits, clean and lube then enjoy.
Good score.
