Hello All,
Long time forum stalker, first time posting... there's so much info on this site I've never needed to ask a question!
I just recieved my first semi auto shotgun. Mossberg 930 Turkey, 24" vent rib with fiber optic rifle sights. I feels great and was priced right. I'm using this for multi purpose; clays, birds, and 3 gun. When I got it, I broke it down and cleaned it, gave it a light lube. We took it out trap shooting and put 100 3 1/4 dram 1 1/8 oz loads through it and about 25 Winchester Universal. The thing was it was an open bolt range, I just loaded through the chamber and never fed through the magazine. The gun shot everything perfectly and felt really nice. So I get home, clean it, then relized I never loaded through the tube so I start messing with that....
So my problem is it won't load by cycling the bolt with any number of shells in the tube. It also will not load from the tube when there is a round in the chamber and the bolt is cycled. This is my first semiauto so I'm wondering if I put the mag tube in to tight or loose or doing something that may be obvious to you. I called Mossberg and they said send it in, they couldn't tell what was going on by what I was describing, but who really wants to send in a gun they just got. I'm also planning on waiting until I can install the Nordic extension to see if it's a spring/mag tube issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks for the help.
