Mossberg 930 (930sx)?

[StoneDog]

Hi All,

I ran across a Mossberg 930SX this weekend and it seemed like a very handy little HD shotgun at a reasonable price. It holds 7+1 rounds of 2 3/4 or 3" and had a nice set of ghost ring sights.

What kind of reputation do they have and is there a better semi-auto HD shotgun that I should look at instead?

Regards,

Jon

For the price it is not a bad auto loader. My brother uses his SPX for everything for HD to duck hunting, with a barrel swap of course. His seems to love to run very wet. What price is the one you found going for?

It's definitely not as nice as the Beretta 931 on the rack next to it, but then it was a little over half the price... Reliability was my only concern. I saw this at a Dick's sporting goods so I know I could find it for less somewhere else.

I used to work at a Dick's, yeah you can find it cheaper. Might look into buying it one line and having it transferred to an FFL near you.

The Mossberg 930 is best autoloader on the market for the money...

Very reliable....

IIRC, the Mossberg 930 is one of the very few autoloading shotguns that can have a folding stock installed on it. Any folder that fits a Mossberg 500/590 should fit.

That was the older Mossberg 9200 & 9200A1, the 9200A1's have developed almost a "cult following" that has driven their prices through the roof....

The 930 has a similar gas system design to the Winchester SX, Browning Silver, and the Beretta, in that it uses a recoil spring that extends into the stock, making folding stocks or PGO impossible...

Thanks for the information.
