cajunautoxer Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I read somewhere that if you don't hit the bolt release button hard enough and you get a jam to call Mossberg and have them fix it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dskinsler83 Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) I took the release assembly out via Nuke's tips in the failure to feed topic. Then I took my needle files and looking at the release as it is in the gun you will see where the carrier is catching/rubbing (it should have a shiny spot) you file a ramp into it at that top corner then smooth and round the edges then polish Next you go to the other end and knock the top and bottom sharp corners off the shell catch and then buff and smooth (don't remove material from the main flat between the two corners just round edges and polish) if you take to much the shells will not catch anymore Then find the area on the carrier arm that is marred/scratch up and take a round needle file to make a slight concave channel and break over the bottom edge (bottom being side if carrier you see when installed in gun) and polish area Then stretch the spring on the release and grease as needed and re install Function check of course Viola now you can easily press the bolt release and not have the jam of the carrier arm catching the release AND it makes it slightly (still have to rack the bolt hard on 930s) to hand charge from a full tube. Mine is 10+1 BTW the +6 extension Edited October 12, 2012 by dskinsler83 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyD Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) For anyone who was interested in the sheet metal & clamp fix for porting... I did it today with some aluminum flashing. Cut to size to slide between the vent ribs and it's easy to bend and after sanding it down, it takes paint nicely. I used heat resistant stuff for BBQ grills. It blends beautifully with the barrel once clamped on. Starts off with a NC tube install, the porting mod is at 1:45 Edited October 12, 2012 by TommyD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mossberg 930 Pat Flanigan here I come and while that is on order a quick trip to Home Depot! Booyah! Haven't shot it yet, planning to do so tomorrow. I'll let you know if I run into any trouble. Are all Flanigan guns that blue color? Time for me to decide what color my classic 930 shall be UPDATE: Clamp and porting cover worked fine. Bulged out a bit, but it was uniform, doesnt look bad.

sdhunterman Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 You can buy a stock 28" with black furniture and add a +8 nordic extension and clamp for a traditional look. The Rhythm comes with the blue stuff, a unique feature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XD Niner Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 I just picked up a used 930SPX. Since the place I shoot my matches limits tube capacity at 8 I would like to add the ability to add one more round. What would be the best way to do this? Thnks Nordic makes extra long mag tube caps, one is 3/4" and the other 1.5" longer than standard cap. Check their site. I ordered the XXL one, even though some have posted that the XL allowed an extra round in the tube. You need to make sure the treads are compatible, unless you already have a Nordic extended mag tube. Mark I did the same with my JM Pro 10. Now I can easily get ten rounds in the tube, one in the chamber and even ghost load a 12th round. It works like a charm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie213 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 What do i do to get it to run on lite loads? mine runs great on heavy stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpom Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 What do i do to get it to run on lite loads? mine runs great on heavy stuff Have you tried light loads? If you have and it's not running well, I would tear it down and really clean the gas system and bolt, then lube the bolt well. Mine runs target loads with no issues.

jamie213 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) it ran 100rds without a hickup of the federal high brass game loads today Edited November 4, 2012 by jamie213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikesToShoot Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 What do i do to get it to run on lite loads? mine runs great on heavy stuff Are you using the AA or the AA Low recoil loads? Does yours run the Winchester 100 round, bulk pack "universal" rounds from Wally world OK? Bulk pack is cheaper than any of the AA loads around here, so that's what I prefer to shoot. You may just have to break it in a little more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mertbl Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 I've shot nothing but the 100 round value packs of federal from Walmart through mine. I haven't modified anything to get it like that. Its ran 100% since day 1. Probably over 1200 rounds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamie213 Posted November 4, 2012 Share Posted November 4, 2012 (edited) the value pack winchester stuff from walmart runs at about %80 with the failures being the empty gets caught in the ejection port and the gets caught up when it trys to get the fresh round into the chamber the AA loads i tried are just plain jane trap or skeet loads not the low recoil ones Edited November 4, 2012 by jamie213 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilBetty Posted November 5, 2012 Share Posted November 5, 2012 Mine too sticks to a diet of the Walmart Federal Bulk packs, but I've also had the Reminton and Winchester packs through it too with zero issues. The ONLY thing it's ever choked on was those white box Winchester rounds... the ones with the heavily ribbed casings. Not sure if it's the texture or the light load but they just don't eject well. Same problem in our Rem 1100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyD Posted November 7, 2012 Share Posted November 7, 2012 You may have already tried this, but with mine it was just a dirty gas system. I had alot of FTE and at least one of the "stovepipe" failures you described. It had not been cleaned in a while. Cleaned everything up real good and then gave it a dry moly lube. Didnt want future debris getting caught up and collecting in wet lube. It ran fine for me after this, in cold weather, which is definitely proving grounds for 930's which are known to slow down quite a bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikesToShoot Posted November 8, 2012 Share Posted November 8, 2012 Here's a possibility, and it may not be the problem at all but here goes. When re-assembling, the seal ring fits perfectly in the gas piston when it's installed backward. I don't know if that's causing your problem but it's worth looking at. Line 2, page 17 clearly states "angled surface must face out" http://www.mossbergs.com/manuals/930_935.pdf Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
