Has anyone put the SBE gas piston in their 930? Wondering what your thoughts are on their piston, and how it preforms. The 930 is a nice gun, shoots light loads with no problems.

In my Shotgun Class at Front Sight last week there were several 930's. One guy who was shooting an A5 like mine had his son there shooting a 930 and the kid had some problems getting it to run. IN fact it down right shut down at one point and wouldn't cycle at all.
I was helping them figure it out and when we finally took it apart it was FILTHY! and it was DRY!
Once cleaned, and it was a cursory cleaning at best, and juiced up with some of my magic oil (Amsoil 20-50 Racing Oil) the gun ran fine for the rest of the day.
The exterior of the gas tube on this gun had caked on carbon deposits which had to be scraped off with a knife, and it was dry, and all of the internal sliding surfaces were also dry as well and that caused the failures to cycle.
This was on the 3rd day, the gun ran fine for the rest of the day, and after a complete cleaning that night his son came back and ran flawlessly for the entire last day which was close to 250 rounds total.
My whole point here is that these guns need to be cleaned thoroughly, and kept well lubricated in order to function properly. This shouldn't be a big stretch, as most guns need to be cleaned and lubricated properly in order to function properly anyway !!!
Nuff said on M 930 reliability.

The birtchwood casey lead removal wipes are awesome at cleaning up the carbon on the 930.
They are $6-$9 at your local shop or amazon.
If you have a 930 or any gun that builds up carbon, I’d pick up a package or two.
If you shoot lead bullets in a handgun, you know how well they work at removing lead after shooting.Rule 1- ALL GUNS ARE ALWAYS LOADED
Rule 2 -NEVER LET THE MUZZLE COVER ANYTHING YOU ARE NOT PREPARED TO DESTROY (including your hands and legs)
Rule 3 -KEEP YOUR FINGER OFF THE TRIGGER UNTIL YOUR SIGHTS ARE ON THE TARGET
Rule 4 -BE SURE OF YOUR TARGET AND WHAT IS BEYOND IT

Birchwood Casey 31002 Lead Remover and Polishing Cloth, 6-Inch x 9-Inch
They sell wipes for you hands to remove lead. While those are awesome- it’s the yellow lead removal / polishing cloth that I’m recommending for the gas system.

This also removes bluing, so be careful using it on finished surfaces.Comment

I've had my 930 for a little over three years and keep the spacer lightly lubed and clean the gas ports with a pipe cleaner now and then and my gun runs smooth. I have the "Duck Commander Signature" model field gun. Not a bad shotgun at all. That drilling the spacer is a slick idea tho. Good call.Comment

I've got a 930 JM Pro and have never had any reliability issues with any type of ammo.Comment

Jerry Miculek has an in-depth youtube on cleaning the 930.
The spacer with the holes is an or3gun.com invention, I believe. They have done more 930 work than probably anyone.Comment

I don't mean to hijack this thread, but I am curious whether anyone replaced the 930 Forearm Retainer (SKU 16772) from the fragile plastic OEM part to
OR3GUN part (http://www.or3gun.com/OR3GUN/about_or3gun_retainer.htm) to make 930 work better. My SPX seems to be more reliable but could not really quantify it.Comment

930 is a great shotgun. I've put close to a thousand rounds through mine while training and it's works like a champ. Like any semi-auto shotgun, you need to keep it clean to so it can reliably cycle the action.
I put the OR3Gun Enhanced Field combo on mine (http://www.or3gun.com/OR3GUN/about_or3gun_combo.htm) and after tuning, it will run anything I put though it (including light recoil buckshot).
Great shotgun, you won't go wrong getting one.

M2! Because my oem plastic retainer broke, I could not really do side by side comparison. Just left with the impression it works better.
Also based on all good feedback on this thread, I ordered competition combo from or3gun.com. I am a firm believer of neutralizing potential issues before happening.Comment

The one time I had an issues with my 930 was when I changed oil lubricating the gas tube. I went from CLP to Mpro and it turned gummy.
Cleaned it again and no more issues.
Who blew a fuse and got that 0 dollar 930 mod thread deleted?Last edited by MarikinaMan; 11-20-2020, 9:11 AM.Comment
