Though I understand the desire to ask for help, that was appropriatelyely put. I think I will use it the next time someone asks me to reduce my hourly labor rate.

Are you going to mount that on the Mosin Nagent I am loaning you for the Larue match? I lol'd

Just wanted to say what has already been said....Steve (GunCat) at RAS could not have been a better guy to deal with when it came to threading my 930 barrel for chokes. The work was beyond reasonably priced, very well done, and the turn around was super fast. Thanks GunCat!

In 1984 I had a VW GTI on which I had spent thousands of dollars on to "make it go faster". At the time I worked for a company that had its own gasoline pump, and gasoline was part of my compensation. One day after having just filled up the tank, I was trying to pull out into the busy cross traffic of the street in front of the office. I had the wheel turned for a hard 90* left turn, and as I sat in the drive waiting for a gap between the cars that I could punch my little hot rod into, I realized that I had not reset my trip meter in the center of the dash. This realization came at pretty much the exact moment that the gap in traffic I had been waiting for opened up. All in the span of less than half a second, I thought of and did a couple of stupid things.....I stomped hard on the gas AND stabbed my arm through the spokes of the steering wheel (which had already been spun around at least once for my hard left) to reset the trip meter and jerk it back out before I had to straighten the wheel. I didn't make it. No crash resulted, but the combination of the front wheel drive torque steer that was amplified by too much horsepower and too much tire/traction, and raw panic as I began to turn head on into oncoming traffic almost broke my arm. I was so horrified by my own stupidity, that I vowed to never speak of the incident. However, reading this thread has had a therapeutic effect. Company of fools and all.....

Trigger over travel stop. Pretty easy to do on the "regular" 930 too.

Oddball: Well, yeah, man, you see, like, all the tanks we come up against are bigger and better than ours, so all we can hope to do is, like, scare 'em away, y'know. This gun is an ordinary 76mm but we add this piece of pipe onto it, and the Krauts think, like, maybe it's a 90mm. From Kelly's Heros if ya didnt know. And a tank's main gun is still a gun......

Tease.

Come on Saturday if you can. I'm a relative noobie out there but have been made to feel welcome from my first visit. Opinions on shotguns vary widely and for these small local matches you can get by with just about anything. The first one I shot, I used a buddies 870. It was ill fitting (he is 6'5" with long arms and has extended the stock to fit him)and hard for me to shoot but I had fun none the less. Tomorrow I'm shooting my new Mossberg 930 which is mostly untested since the modification work I recently completed. Who know what will happen? Like I said, come Saturday.....Heck, you might get a good laugh out of the deal.

For warm dry climates, its hard to beat the Lowa Desert Zepher. Tennis shoe (GOOD tennis shoe)comfort and agility, with good multi terrain traction, combined with better than decent ankle support. They aren't meant to be used as heavy load hikers over very very rough ground, so you get a boot you can actually run in. Lowa also offer a Desert Zepher with Gore-Tex if you need the water resistance and can stand the extra heat.

I live in the Richmond / Katy area. I shoot at American Shooting Centers but you cant do rapid fire or any drills so I need to find a place to practice. Where is yalls match? The matches are out at Impactzone just north of Brookshire in Hempstead. There is a 3gun match happening on Saturday if you are interested. All of the info is posted on WHIDPA's site. I will be out there shooting... I'm slow and bumbling, but make up for it by being a really bad shot.

What part of Houston? If you want to try IDPA, WHIDPA has a match every Wednesday evening. And though it may be too late, don't forget Comp-Tac for holsters and mag carriers. They are local and offer very good Kydex gear.

Looks like what you would expect of a 930 with a 24" unported barrel. +5 Nordic tube, Nordic clamp and Nordic bolt handle. If that price is right its a great deal even if everything else is just typical 930 stuff. Oh, and David E. Thanks for the info/videos you posted on your 930 hand cycle work. I followed your advice along with some minor other tweaks of my own and my 930 will hand cycle (done either gently or with force)a full 8 round tube 100% of the time, which is to say more reliably than it did when bone stock.

Impressive... what else did you polish? Anything similar to David's work? I did not see David's post, but now that I have...... Really, all I have polished up so far is the follower, the recoil spring plunger, the inside of the recoil spring housing and the slide assembly. I have a buffer and an assortment of buffing wheels and buffing compounds that make it fairly easy. I did just a little gentle polish job on the slide assembly so as not to change the tolerances too much, but I was pretty aggressive with the follower and recoil spring housing and plunger.

Ive seen a couple of ARs done in Cerakote Burnt Bronze and think it looks great. Your SLP is also very nice.

Working on this shotgun has been a lot of fun so far. The loading port went so well that I am debating the need to even weld the lifter. Polishing various parts here and there have resulted in an overall better "feel" when I cycle the gun too. I am fortunate enough to posses the equipment and knowledge to do a lot of this stuff on my own and if I had access to a lathe and the tooling, I wouldn't hesitate take a stab at the barrel work. My Nordic tube should be here this week and I'll probably shoot it with the barrel at 28" in a local match next weekend. After that, it makes a trip down to Benny Hill for shortening to 22".
