archer7153 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 I'm thinking about competing in 3 gun. The matches held in my area use the Soldier of Fortune rules. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a shotgun. Do you guy think this would be ok for 3 gun? If i bought it I will add a +4 mag tube. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a real longing look in your eye, someone will surely let you try out their shotgun. Converting a 930 will end up cositng more than just buying a 930JM that is pretty close out of the box. I just wince anytime someone wants to spend any money with not having been to a match yet. While you can go to a USPSA pistol match and see maybe 3 or 4 gun types, led by the S_Is, in 3Gun, the equipment make-ups are much more varied. There are personal, regional and physical differences in 3 gun that get amplified more than in the pistol sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sthrngnr Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 Hello Archer , like Mark said the 930 turkey will cost you about what it takes to buy a 930 JM IIRC the turkey model is ported and unless you want to shoot Open , you will have to have your barrel cut. I have a buddy that went the same route , because he couldn't find a JM. Only advice is to get a +5 so you can run 8+1 shells. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any 3 gun matches near you? I live in Jupiter and I'm planning to shoot in the matches held in Okeechobee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sthrngnr Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 Yes okeechobee has SOF 3G matches, and I shoot at Port Malabar which has uspsa 3G. Both are fun, but I prefer uspsa than SOF. Most of the guys that shoot at okeechobee are from wpb area as well. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JesseCJC Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) I use a cutdown 930 waterfowl and it works very well for me. I did all the work before the JM mossbergs came out and it cost me around 600 for everything(extension, clamp, barrel cut/thread and gun) I also went ahead and had the lifter welded and dremeled out the loading port myself. I too would advise a +5 over the +4. I would post pics but my post count is too low. IM me if you want them Edited August 16, 2012 by JesseCJC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
promod1385 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 I have a 24" turkey I built up before the JM hit the market. I waited as long as I could and eventually bought a 24" turkey model. I have about the same amount of money in it as I would buying a 930JM. No need to cut the barrel, I added a Nordic clamp and some sheet metal covers to cover the ports and make me legal for Tac, it works well. I have shot one major event and my gun was inspected by the RM, he didnt have a problem with the covered ports as they give no advantage when covered.
