Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical.

[bullet]

I love this shotgun. It's a very good bargain in the tactical shotgun world.
But cleaning it is somewhat of a pain.
There are alot of parts. I'll admit that first few times was nerve wrecking.
Now it's not so bad.

Had one of the 930s, was a great shotgun. Cleaning was an adventure

I still have my 930SPX and the Oregon Spacer tube she runs very well.
Did your 940 come with that spacer or did you add it?
I've always likened it to reassembling a Rem 742. Keep her clean and it'll never let you down.

I have been trying to buy the exact model you have, bullet!

This is giving me flashbacks to the 930 I had that I could never get to run correctly.

Was it a 930 or the jm930?? I have the jm930 which I figured was pretty much the same internally.
I haven’t shot mine more than 100 rounds and only had a couple at first that jammed but now ok.. did you have a round count that it started? Or just always? Just curious. Thanks

We have a couple 930's... Son's 930 Waterfowl Edition gets a ton of use and abuse. My plain-Jane is for clays at the range and upland. Haven't seen really any issues yet. I am considering putting some Boyds wood on mine instead of getting the sweet Benelli Montefeltro I fondled at the NRA show.

JM930 specifically, constant issues with everything from buckshot to target loads not wanting to feed at all. Cleaned it and tinkered with the gun till about 600 rounds or so and basically rage quit shotguns for about 6 years.

My BIL has a Monte , get an A400 instead and thank me later especially if you spring for the kick off system. It's the best semi auto clays gun out there , or one of the best at least.

I have a 930 Tactical and it is a very nice shotgun. Put an XS Big Dot night sight and an enlarged red anodized safety on it and it functions well. I haven’t shot it that much so I haven’t done a deep clean like you show.

I will replace my JM 930 Pro with the JM 940 Pro as soon as Mossberg offers the new red dot cut in the Pro line and not just the tactical. I talked to a Mossy rep at NRAAM and he kind gave me the run around on why they have not already done this yet.

It's completely stock.
I have a 930 spx also. I was thinking about putting the complete Oregon reliability kit in it. It does ok, but has trouble with low brass.

 

[walkercolt]

I have a 930 SPX and it's been reliable with different loads without much issue, but I'll admit I've only put around 300 to 400 rounds thru it so far . The only non-stock part is the Oregon spacer tube, just put it on last week and it really didn't seem to need it but the reviews for it sounded good.

Back to point, a review on the 940 Tactical.

 

[jbombelli]

I also have a 930SPX. On the first day shooting it I had a failure to feed with a slug. I knew it was going to happen because when I manually cycled it that round would fail every time. I couldn't tell what was off by looking at it, but there was definitely something off with that one round. Everything since fed without issue.
