bkoenig Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 Long time lurker here and first time poster. I just bought a standard model 930 with a 26" barrel that I plan to have cut down just in front of the ports and rethreaded. It's good to see this gun is getting some attention from the 3 gun crowd since I've debated buying one for a long time. It was either this or a used 1100. I think Mossberg will really have a winner if they do it right. Heck, just offering a non-ported barrel would get them 90% of the way for most of the casual competitors.

jimmcc Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 outerlimits, Please post more details and price on the open Mossy. Also pics when you get it. I wondered how long it would take Benny before he did one in open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 He was working hard today and deer season is just about over...... So, I figure in about 30 days you will have the gun in your hands... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i can get two open 930's for that coin. Besides, what's not to like about benny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike.45 Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 Besides, what's not to like about benny He refuses to share Kurts cider for one !!! Nice to see you cleaned my bed-roll carpet for the photo shoot Kurt - refused to do that for me when I was sleeping on it ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmcc Posted January 5, 2011 Share Posted January 5, 2011 I like Benny. I cried once last spring when I sent off my M2 to him but I haven't cried since I got it back. It's a perfectly functioning Open Benelli and the recoil feels 100% better than stock. I might be willing to cry again over a Mossy. I like the gas operation because I like the felt recoil out of my Browning Gold, but I shot a 930 and thought it kicked more than my Benny Benelli. I'm sure Benny will work his magic on the Mossberg and tame it down. I have $3000 in my Benny Benelli and just wanted to see how the Mossberg compared in price and what mods were being performed on it. Thanks.
