    HALP! My 930SPX is now a 1/2 single shot

    in Shotgun - Technical

    Posted

    Alright, to pull it apart, take down the gun like you are changing the barrel. Pull your bolt back till it locks the hammer and then slowly let the bolt go forward. Pull the charging handle out of the bolt (just straight out). This will allow you to pull the bolt and carrier out through the barrel hole. I normally drop the trigger assembly out first, but this is not necessary as long as the hammer is locked back (if it is not, something is probably going to fall out of the trigger assembly).

    To answer your question, the 930 doesn't have a way stop the hammer from being fired if the bolt isn't all of the way forward. I have had the bolt sit 1/8" from being closed once (error was on my end with not having put everything together correctly).

    sounds a lot like not having the spring in the right place...happened to me

    Jeremy, you should have ordered the new Apex FSS trigger kit!!!!

    Dave, is that the one that looks like a Glock trigger? If it is, I'm not a fan of the Glock look and feel... that's just me.

    It feels nothing like a Glock. The pretravel and overtravel are so minimal that it feels as close to a 1911 as I've ever felt in a non-1911 gun. My .40 Pro limited build will definitely have one.

    +1, everyone that shoots my FSS trigger says it's the best trigger they have ever felt in a polymer gun.

    Lightened bolt carrier questions

    Got a few questions on a lightened bolt carrier.

    I have a 20" barrel, rifle length buffer, JP spring, F2 comp and run various factory ammo currently. Could i switch to the JP LMOS carrier and buffer without having an adjustable gas system? I wasn't sure if not being able to adjust the gas would beat up the Lightened carrier system.

    Guiderod and spring is what I'm trying to figure out as well. Has anyone tried both lengths and have reasons for one or the other. I've got the SSS magwell and tf basepads and think the extra weight up front will balance the gun out

    This is what i've done so far...

    28" barrel cut to 22" and threaded

    lengthen and polish forcing cone

    polish chamber

    Briley extended LM choke

    Nordic handle

    Nordic follower

    Nordic +4 extension

    Nordic XL cap

    Hi-Viz TriComp sight

    welded lifter

    Brownells safety

    Sounds like a sick setup... have any pics?

    Mind me asking how it runs with the forcing cone mods?

    Mike Orlen did the barrel work back in November. Lengthen and polish forcing cone and chamber - $35

    I tested 4 different brands of low recoil slugs a few weeks ago (Federal Truball, winlite, B&P, Wolf). Based on the initial tests the B&P seemed to work best for me. I ordered a case and did some more testing today. They ran fine in the gun and I had no issues with them at all. They say one ounce but I cut one out after getting them and they are closer to 7/8 ounce slugs.

    22" barrel w/LM choke

    Hi-Viz TriComp FO sight with triangle light pipe

    This is 5 rounds off my bag and 5 rounds offhand at 50 yards. I put the tip of the triangle at the bottom of the circle

    This is 5 rounds off my bag and 4 rounds offhand at 100 yards. I held the tip of the triangle at the base of the head even with the shoulders (or tried to anyway).

    Does anyone have the Operator or Gunslinger II as a 3 gun bag? I've been looking at them and they look to be a good option. Only think I am not sure on is the shotgun scabbard and if would fit my 22" shotgun with the extended bolt handle.

    I just ordered a "factory" (special order) barrel for my 930 straight from Mossberg! It is the "Turkey" model, with NO PORTS. Cost $180 + shipping, which is cheaper than modding the factory 28" barrel!!!!

    [

    How's it cheaper than modding the factory 28", unless you have to buy the 28" then modify it.

    Mike Orlen did work on mine...

    cut barrel to rib post - NC

    install provided hi-viz sight - $10

    lengthen and polish forcing cone and chamber - $35

    Thread barrel for chokes - $35

    return shipping $15

    Total = $95
