930 SPX Cycling Question

[mtptwo]

OP you have any more info on that red spring discussion? I did some googling and only came up with one thread and some guy posted about (black,yellow,red and blue) springs but the replies are that even guys with new production guns still come with blue.. So it can't be a new production addition. I see that they say it "should" be a fix for light loads but it was kind of a guess no real concrete evedence to fully confirm or deny.

The only place I heard of it was from the SPX accessories thread on weaponeer.

I opted for the standard 930 and have had several failures where the ejection is fine but the magazine releases 2 shells at once and locks up in the ramp area. I installed the 7 round tube and it made no difference. The spring pressure wedges them both in there and takes a few seconds and fine motor skills to get them out (which makes it a 2nd place trophy in a gun fight). This happened with low recoil loads, a few 00 buck and low brass bird. It runs 100% with hi-brass, 3" bucks and my personal preference Black Cloud 3" #3 steel shot. Mine likes recoil.

What model do you have? Mine has steal op rods.

Im not sure. I got the combo. Im not the one that said it my buddy was telling me his had plastic rods. Im assuming he had an early SPX or 930 model.

Yea I saw it on a sight but the convo didn't go too deep. 8 replies and it was done. Im tempted to email mossberg and find out for my self if this has any truth or not.

I too have a blackwater with the blue spring and for the first 10 rounds I had two FTEs. This was with remington buck cause its an indoor range I have to use their shotgun ammo. Next trip I recleaned and this time used Winchester super x for 75 rounds. It just ate it up. Never had a problem since.

great looking gun!

Some people have had problems with the way some side saddles attach.
The pins that hold the trigger group in get replaced with screws that can squeeze the receiver too tight or effect the trigger group and ramp. I had some issues and removed it. I'll see if that helps soon.

I don't think it cushions the return of the piston. I would have to take mine apart again, but I don't want to deal with the tube spring. If I recall correctly my piston just rams into the tab with the gas vents. If you feel before the blue spring there is a gas ring. I think it allows for gas bleed. The stronger the blue spring is, the more gas gets directed to the piston. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Actually your description makes more sense so I'm probably wrong.
