Question for the hive... I have to send my 930SPX to Mossberg in TX to be repaired. My understanding is that I do not have to send it from a FFL and do not need to have them send it back to the FFL. My understanding is that I can ship it out from the USPS (yes you can send long guns. I’ve done it before.) and have it sent right back to me. Of course I will make sure I’m home to receive it. Am I right on all of this?

What's wrong with it?

My 930 SPX had issues with the shot tube binding up. I called Mossberg and 930SPXs made prior to 2014 are eligible for upgrades. They had issues with the shot tubes, followers and bolt releases. Mine is a 2013. They will run your serial number and let you know if you need the upgrade. Shipping is on you though.

Gotcha. I'll check into mine. I'm sure it was manufactured before 2014. Never had problems though. Mine just won't cycle low velocity practice loads, but neither will my buddies M4.

Made by mossberg. Most dont run. Some run then stop. I know 1 guy that has one that has been working for 1 year and counting.

Mossberg's pump-action's run just fine. They're not the most refined pump-action shotgun on the market, but they have a reputation for reliability.

Mossberg's semi-auto's sometimes have issues, but here's a news flash: so do most semi-auto shotguns. You can go drop $1,400 on a Benelli M2 and still run into issues. I don't consider Mossberg's semi-auto offerings any less reliable than those from other brands.

Love my Mossy 500 and 590.
The former developed the often seen “safety activated between rounds.”

Pissed me off. Didn’t use the upgrade kit out there but think she’s fixed.

Lol, well who can argue with that logic?

I guess you should go tell all those 3-gunners that they should ditch their Mossberg 930's?

Most have. The ones that have not done it yet, will shoryly. Why do you think they have em for sale all the time.

I even saw jerry micleuk’s mossberg go down....he got a DQ for it was well. If any should run perfect it should be his!

Mossberg semi auto suck. Buy one. Report back....oh! And actually go shoot it.....more than once....

Ps. Other than jerry i dont think any pro 3 gunners use mossshit anyway....why is that do you think?

Like I said earlier, all semi-auto shotguns have a higher likelihood of going down. That's just an inherent risk with a semi-auto shotgun.

Ammo choice usually plays a big role in that.

As for no one besides Micleuk using the Mossberg 930: according to what source?

My own two eyes. I have been shooting 3 gun all over the country for the past 6-7 years. Observation.

Just go watch videos of the pros. Only people that run mossbergs are huys like you. They just dont know and they resist. Then they try and run that shit in a match. It fucks up match after match and they end up buying a good gun. (In the end they loose miney.....cause the only reason they buy mossshit is to save coin......which they dont cause they buy twice)

Ofcourse ammo plays a part. Thatbsi why you run good ammo. Mossshit wont run anything reliably.

Run mossshit if you want. I know better.

The problem is a lot of anecdotal experience and over-exaggerated internet chatter gets passed on as gospel by guys like you who cite personal "observation" as their justification. It's interesting that no factual, and verifiable, source is cited when making claims that everyone is ditching brand x....just observation.


The Mossberg 930's I've "observed" in action seem to work well enough, certainly no worse than most other semi-auto's. But I've only "observed" so much, so take that with a grain of salt.

I haven't had that problem with my 590a1 or my 500. I assume that issue has something to do with the safety latch screw not being tight enough.

Ok how many have you observed?

I have seen over 50 not work. I have personally seen this many or more.

Take it for what it is worth.

You can resist if you want. I dont care. I know better.
