I've had a deposit down on a Mossberg 930 JM Pro Series since April 6 at my LGS. They use 3 or 4 "big" distributors and like 7 - 10 smaller distributors. They call every Friday with no luck. I'm hoping they get it in soon, but I'm not holding my breath. I had someone tell me that I should try a bigger retailer (Turner's, Bass Pro Shops, Dick's etc.) because they have more leverage with Mossberg considering they probably purchase far more firearms far more often. Any thoughts?

Hi.... new here.

I wanted to share my thoughts and fixes for the JM Pro.

I got mine about 2 months ago after looking and waiting for almost 6 months. 599 +20 ffl. Not too bad. Just got lucky. Spragues just happened to have one. http://www.spragues.com/

I got the 22 inch 8 round version.

First impression, seems either shop or Mossberg gouged in and around the receiver screws a tiny bit, other than that, the gun looked good.

Out to range, first rounds with a variety of ammo from steel BB shot to light 1 oz dove loads... not a hick-up! Fed and ejected everything and after about 300 rds no failures of any sort. Nice. Not sure what the gas piston issue is, never heard that before.

The issue of the jamming bolt as posted earlier happened to me as well and as described it only seems to happen when unloaded and the lifter is free to bounce up too high (since there is no shell on it)

Never- the -less, I don't like that issue in case of trouble, so I modified the lifter as shown. Beveling the edge just enough to allow the bolt release bar to slide past. It will still have too much pressure from the bolt to simply allow you to press the button, but by pulling back the bolt a bit, this fix will let you now push the button (at the same time) and the lifter will slip back down, past the bar. I found that without this fix, the two parts really get tangled and jam tight.

I also smoothed and polished the top edge of the lifter bar where it contacts the bottom edge of the bolt release flat which I also polished with some emery to get rid of burrs so the bolt release is smooth as butter now to press and release the bolt.

The issue of the thumb getting caught by the lifter when loading has been addressed by "welding up" the front. If you do not have access to welding you can do as I did and simply soften the edge of the rounded notch by filing or grinding the notch to a softer curve as shown and rounding and polishing with emery the sharp edge. It is not as good a a weld job but better than factory.

I also noted, at least on my 22 inch 8 rounder, that if I unscrew the mag tube cap a just few turns, maybe 1/8 inch, I can fit an extra round easily making it a 9 round tube! I plan to get a spacer or a few 1 inch O rings to fill the gap.

Love this shotgun... FAST, LIGHT, RELIABLE, LOW RECOIL, Made in USA and Better trigger than my Walmart Beretta 390 ( I know, but same price point),,, and to think, I almost paid 1500+ for a Benelli! What's not to like? Go USA.
