I need advice on repairing a Mossberg 835 please. I have an old 835 that was purchased new in the mid 90’s, somewhere about the time they came out. The last few years, it has sat unfired because the action will open when fired. (yea, add a spring & I’ll have a semi-auto… ) Comparing it to a newer 835, the trigger group assembly seems to fit loose on the old shotgun. The trigger group is made from plastic or similar material. I assume this plastic is worn somewhere from recoil during firing, probably in the pin holes. The pin holes in the receiver seem to be round / tight, so I’m pretty sure it’s not the issue. I can purchase a new trigger group assembly for ~$40, but before I started buying parts I wanted to see if anyone here has had similar experiences or can confirm that I’m on the right track.
Thanks!
Thanks!
