Does your 930 SPX, say, “930 SPX” ? or merely 930 TM as does my own.
Ya know, it’s hard to get good help these days!
At some retail outlets, stores, and dealerships, just asking where something is located can put a blank look onto a store employees face, and they might provide some erroneous directions instead of seeking out the experience of someone more vested in the industry/store. Or such questions can make them dissolve altogether, vanishing into thin air and never to be seen again… well, ‘cept on payday. They usually resurface then.
In fact, I refuse to call some dealerships actual dealerships…. I just call ‘em sellers. Many don’t deal anymore anyhow, handing down a take it or leave it offer to the buyer … Fewer & fewer are pricing their goods competitively… and many of the staff have less product knowledge than me and I’ve been out of the gun club for about 30 years now.
Consequently I just want to double check here with knowledgeable folks as to how Mossberg currently lables their weapons/long guns. It seems the last Mossberg employee couldn’t find out that info for me in a full working day.
When I called Mossberg yesterday and gave my serial number to my new 930 the lady I spoke with said indeed it was a 930.
Fine.
The problem with that is I paid for a 930 SPX… not a Home Defense 930. Telling her that too, she then said, “Yes, it’s a 930 SPX.”
So I asked her, “Why then, isn’t SPX printed onto the barrel after 930, instead of 930 TM….
There sure is enough room for 3 more letters.
She went on to say it was made this year. Asked me to send pics and thereafter would get back to me… I did.
She has not. Well, not yet.
So…. How does OFM lable their shotguns these days?

If you think about this it is important on a couple of levels.
Resale…. Fraud…. Insurance claims… parts ordering… after market accessories getting… and a bunch of confusion across the board from the distributors to the sellers, to us, the end users.
Thanks for all the help.
