Sounds good, im running a ex 28"wf and traded mossberg for the 24" non ported barrel . I can hold 10 in tube, it has run fine without a problem all year. Except once on some deep pocketed primers from federal. Doesn't need weld, just cut the u shaped notch in receiver, like you see in the pics somwhere in monster 930 thread. The carlsons have also worked good for my 930
