Glad to heard someones 930SPX is working as advertised.
After lubing mine up and running it "like an AR" it ran like it was supposed to for a grand total of 68 rounds of Federal 7 1/2, 3 dram 1.5 oz. birdshot. Then FT Extract worse than ever. Gas system broke. Now back at Mossberg 2nd time.
Very anxious to get it back. Keep us posted on your round count and how it's running.
I found mine would not shoot "Tactical Slugs" anywhere close to point of aim. I ran the sights completely out of adjustment and couldn't get it where it needed to be. Put full power slugs in and re-centered the sights and it made a one hole 5 shot group at 25 yards (off hand). Of course that one hole took up the whole 10 ring of a b-27 target, but dang what a difference just changing rounds.
So party on and maybe we can start a SPX sub-group here in San Diego....Larry Renner

Sounds good! Sorry to hear about your 930. I remember you having problems with yours in another thread, that sucks MM. So far the round count is just under 400 with one FTE on the third round. I plan on going once a week and running at least 100 rounds per session. I'll PM you my # if you ever want to hit the range. I also have a 590 with thousands of trouble free rounds down range. I got it in 1988 or 89, and the thing survived my dumb a** in high school so it had to be tough! I found the receipt recently, $280 out the door at the Orange show gun show, cash and carry! The good old days!

I just took it out of the box, oiled the action, a lot, and ran a bore snake down the barrel a few times and let er' rip. You should be just fine!

congrats!! got mine on thanksgiving, did the same thing too cleaned a lot before shooting this shotty, lightly applied oil voila! it's flawless ever since. No canted sight, no jiggle on forearm as previously reported, I guess mossberg corrected the problem. I am very satisfied with this semi-shotty.Comment

what kind of oil are you guys using and where should I apply it? This will be my first SGComment

Another 140 rounds, no problems!! Well that is a bit of a lie, one of the Win. Low recoil buck rounds ( with the crappy low aluminum base) ripped at the extractor point. Not a failure of the shotgun, but the crappy ammo. I plan on shooting all my stockpile of low base rounds, I would not bet my life on them. I also ran the gun pretty dry, no lube on the bolt, just the recoil action/gas system. No problems. I really am stoked on this gun!!

I've put 150rds through my 930SPX and experienced only one jam.
Used mostly Remington birdshot BB, Fiocci 00 9 pellet buck, Winchester 00 9, Winchester Bird Shot BB (the 1 and only jam to date) pellet Buck and some off brand heavy shot.
Going to be putting another 100-200 rounds through it next weekend using only 00 9 pellet buck.
Overall a very nice shooting shotgunComment

Mossberg says mine should be back this week (Jan. 17th). Wouldn't say what they did or what was wrong with the gun. Looking forward to talking to the Mossberg people at the SHOT show Tuesday. They probably won't know or say anything about the SPX's (other than how wonderful they are).
When it gets here and I return from shot I'll give you a call Luchador and we'll run 930's until we're ankle deep in hulls
