Yep, the barrel clamp is still made out of polymer.I am wet just looking at these pics and jealous - and I agree I would spring the extra $150 for the proper Holosun installed out of the box -
Is the barrel clamp still made out of polymer? 940 Pro checks all the right boxes for me especially with self cleaning gas system, controls, adjustable LOP etc, except I already own a 1301T, just bought a Panzer M4 clone, and also own a Black Aces Smax in walnut which I am SUPER impressed with for the $280 I paid for it -
Which sucks, as I've burned through two (2) of them in less than 2,500 shells. The first clamp had a flashlight, and the second clamp was bare. The plastic gets too hot and starts to warp. Tightening it down doesn't help as the plastic/polymer stretches and is the worst idea of material for a barrel clamp on a semi-auto shotgun. Hopefully, GG&G, Nordic, or Mesa Tactical will step up with a metal one...Yep, the barrel clamp is still made out of polymer.View attachment 30198
One thing to be aware of is the differences in shell lengths from different manufactures. Common 2 3/4 and 3 inche shell actually come in a wide variety of lengths depending on the brand, whether they are low or high brass and the type of crimping. You can see 2 3/4 unfired shells that are around 2 1/4 to 2 5/16 in length and 3 inch unfired shells that vary around 2 1/2 to 2 5/8 inches.At first I had the issue of only loading 5 shells. Once I took the extension loose and adjusted it I can now load 7 low brass shells fine but slugs or buckshot which are a slight bit longer I am about 1/4-1/2 inch shy of getting the 7th one in. I feel like my spring is extremely long. I am going to leave it loaded with 6 for about a week or so then disassemble and try again. Seems like the follower needs trimmed or possibly the spring itself but I don’t want to hurt reliability. It ran everything I put through it the first day. But I want it to hold that one extra shell also. It has required a little more babying than I was expecting to get everything running smoothly.
Update. Went to the range today to see if this thing just need broken in. I bought 100 shells of high brass 1350fps birdshot and had some random boxes of low brass some high velocity buckshot and slugs. They all ran the same. Terrible. After letting the gun sit basically in a CLP bath over night. Cleaned it up and removed the oil where it shouldn’t be and put some back where it should and the problem just keeps getting worse. Jams every 2-3 rounds. Failure to feed. Failure to eject. Bolt keeps getting stickier. I feel like it’s either the trigger group and elevator or the buffer spring in the stock. That I never messed with. I took it by 2 gun stores today. They both agreed something is wrong but didn’t know what. One of them has sold many many 940 pro shotguns and never had one returned. A call to mossberg got me an automated message to go online and fill out a form to ship it to them. Said lead times are 6-8 weeks. To top it off my red dot would randomly shut off. Have to hit the + button several times for it to come on again. Or maybe was changing to night settings on its own idk. Could be million good ones and I picked the rotton apple. So much for the excitement of a new shotgun. See ya in the spring. Here a few pics I snapped of the issues.
