Hi - I've owned a Mossberg 500 for years, and purchased it without really knowing anything about guns at the time. Since then, I have been a loyal Mossberg follower and proponent for the product, especially when it comes to those snaught-nosed Remington owners. posting.php?mode=post&f=5#
I just picked up my Mossberg 930 SPX for a Frontsight 4-day shotgun class. In addition, I'm installing my Nordic Component (NC) extension tube for either 3-gun or zombie defense posting.php?mode=post&f=5#, and am awaiting delivery of a AIMPRO Tri-Rail and Choate Pistol grip.
The online facts about the 930 SPX clearly states that the rifle is a 7+1 capacity. It does NOT state what size shells it uses to base this measurement on.
My problem applies when using both, the Choate extension tube that came on the rifle as well as the NC with +2 extension... both extensions are going to hold the same capacity The rifle will only hold 7+1 using a Winchester 2 1/4" length shell (even though the box clearly states the shell is a 2 3/4"-whats up with that posting.php?mode=post&f=5#). The slug is a 2 3/8" and only 6+1 fits. I've tried installing the NC's spring as well as the factory spring and the above mentioned results are exactly the same (any shell larger than the 2 1/4" will hold less capacity than stated online). Is this some weird thing that everyone knows about except me?
I'm pretty irritated that I'm dropping so much coin on a product and it doesn't even live up to what the specifications clearly state online. I tried calling Customer Service, but my English is too proper for a english second language customer service rep. I figure the problem either has to be me and I need help, or this is some shotgun-lingo about less shells fitting depending on the size of the shell. Any why would the box clearly state that the shells are 2 3/4" when it is clearly 2 1/4"?
Please help me, I know nothing about shotguns (which is why I'm taking the 4-day class) and really want to continue being a supporter of the Mossberg brand.
