Re: Latest Acquisition!!! 3rd rev. Mossberg 930 SPX mini rev
i had it down-packed, ghost loading, that is. but this was in the comfort of my home with federal 00 buckshot. when out shooting clays (spx gets it done) with winchester bulk pack from walmart, i kept having issues ghost loading. it all comes down to practice.
after a day of shooting clays, i found that my choate pistol grip was twisted just a bit. guess i'll have to really torque the nut down to the point i deform the plastic oval the rear spacer/washer fits into. regardless, it was fun as heck. even my 11 year old got in on the action and so did his mom. no hiccups loading or shooting, ejecting or nada.
i also did shoot out some of that centurion 12ga slugs bulk pack from sgammo. the lead is plated and all that plating seems to have REALLY fouled the s**t outta my barrel. i can't see that it was the birdshot from walmart or the inexpensive rio buckshot from sgammo either. it must have been the plating on the slugs. time after time a brass bristle bore brush kept dislodging slivers of metal. this IS my first shotgun, but i didn't have this fouling last outing. seems to be the centurion. anyone else have this issue???
