I have the Mossberg 930 JM pro 24" 9+1 12 gauge. What length of spring are you using with the Nordic MXT+9? With the stock length spring from Nordic it won't reliably feed from the tube, I trimmed 3" off and it works 90%. I tried the spring that came with the original gun and it took 15 in the tube but didn't feed for crap. I don't wanna cut too much off.

I’ve been happily shooting my JM Pro for monthly outlaw and 3GN matches since April 2012, @ ~2,500 rounds. Once I added the Nordic shell follower I have been trouble free. Well almost. In May 2014 I had a failure to feed (shell kicked up on the lifter but stuck at the chamber entrance) near the extractor, but I figured it was a dirty gun. Cleaned the gun up and it shot fine in a practice session. Since then I am experiencing 3-4% of Federal Multi-purpose (Walmart) failing to chamber. Occasionally I can bump the bolt handle fwd and it chambers, but sometime I have to rack clear and re-rack to load the next shell. I thought it was the Federal (which admittedly has some weird crimps recently) until one Winchester AAs and a few Remington STSs didn’t chamber. I pulled the barrel during a match and found a tiny (1-1.5mm) spur near the extractor on the inside of the chamber. I cleaned that off with a knife during a match and the gun ran fine for the next 9 shell stage. I polished it after the match with Mothers and a dremel. Punched 9 shells through it (including some that has previously failed) and it ran fine. Next match, one failure (Federal multi). At my last match it had one failure (Federal multi). This weekend I tore the gun down to clean it I found that the “bolt guide pin/stub” (no idea what the part name is) on the barrel extension was loose and could be rotated. See photo -- I called Mossberg and they returned my call the same day. +1 for CS. I explained what I was experiencing and asked about a weak recoil spring. The female CS rep said the recoil spring should be fine, but that pin could be the problem. She said it’s welded/soldered in, but should not fail in 3k rounds. Despite being out of warranty (2 year limit) she offered full replacement of the barrel. I lobbied for repair vs replacement and she said that was possible. So after 2,500 rounds I kinda know where my shot, slug and buck are going to hit. The gun fits me well and I am lothe to roll the dice on a new barrel, new patterns, new POI with slugs, right? For now I have blue locktite in the pin, but it may go to Maverick Arms in TX in December for some factory TLC or I may get a local smith to silver solder it. I’ll keep shooting and checking it. If it stays put and my FTFeeds go away we’ll all be smarter.

Hi guys, I have a Mossberg SPX with the Choate +2 and am going to be replacing the Choate Mag Extension with the Nordic +4. Can anyone give me an idea what length I should expect to cut the Nordic spring to past the tube? Thanks much!
