Mesa Tactical Mossberg 930 stock

[FUBAR]

Does it have the square back on the pistol grip? The Urbino for my Benelli had that it was.......weird.

Installation and range report on the Mesa Tactical Urbio pistol grip stock for the 930 series..... (Pictures to follow soon)

Shortly after Shot Show 2014 when Mesa Tactical debuted their Urbino pistol grip stock for the 930, I placed a pre-order through them. If you have been following this thread, you know the launch was delayed a few times and finally released in small lots in late August.

This past Friday (Sept 5th), I received mine which I am told was one of the first 50 to go out. This probably will serve as the first installation and range report for this product on the 930.

The chose the Urbino with the cheek riser as well as a LimbSaver butt pad for my 930SPX.

The actual manual is linked here if anyone wants to read it: http://mesatactical.com/wp-content/u..._rev_b_WEB.pdf

Upon opening the box, the first thought I had was this is a really nice unit. Looks just like all the other Urbino stocks I have held/used in the past. The part is very reminiscent of the pistol grip used by the factory on the Benelli M4 line of shotguns.

Fit and finish are high quality. The package contained all necessary hardware to complete the installation. The only thing needed was a Phillips head screwdriver and a 3/4" socket and drive to remove the factory butt pad and stock, then install the Urbino stock.

Inside the package was also a QD style sling swivel (which you can elect to use or not). Also a forward sling plate blank, a forward hook loop plate (which doubles as a QD attachment area) and a forward sling plate. You choose one of these three options when installing. A rear sling plate is also included. All these options give you maximum flexibility on what type of sling you wish to use, or not.

Mesa Tactical also includes:

* A new shorter Return Spring Tube
* A new shorter Return Spring
* Return Spring Stud (in case upon removal of the stock return spring tube, the factory stud unscrews with the tube).
* Return Spring Tube Tool to remove the factory Return Spring Tube
* Return Spring Tube Nut
* Return Spring Tube Washer

For installation a padded and protected vice is needed as the factor return spring tube is on tightly. It would not be possible to hold the receiver and loosed the return spring tube at the same time (at least in my experience).

Installation was simple and took approximately 5 minutes. My factory return spring stud stayed attached to the receiver so I did not need to use the one Mesa Tactical provided. You reuse the factory Return Spring Retainer, Return Spring Plunger as well as the Return Spring Retaining Pin.

My only issue was that my factory return spring tube was on so tight, the aluminum Return Spring Tube Tool that Mesa Tactical provides started to fail and sheer inside the factory tube upon removal. The tool is made out of aluminum so it was the sacrificial part vs the factory return spring tube and factory return spring tube pin.

I was able to get it out and complete the installation as tightening the new shorter return spring tube didn't have to be with gorilla force as Mossberg used when assembling this shotgun. I have emailed and called Mesa Tactical in order to have them send a new tool in the event I need to ever remove or tighten the return spring tube.

I also installed a Mesa Tactical 6 shell Urbino shot holder.

The Urbino feels really good in the hand and doesn't hinder use of the safety, as least for me. Shouldering is fast and efficient. I found the adjustable cheek piece riser to work well with the factory ghost ring sights when at the lowest position. The adjustable cheek piece riser has several height adjustments to accommodate all types of optics.

All an all I am extremely happy with the product. I hated the way the factory Choate pistol grip felt.

Stay tuned for more.

For a PG that doesn't look bad... Usually not a fan of PG shotties but it looks clean and mean.

Big fan of the 930. What does this offer over the stock pistol grip/stock? A cheek riser? Seeya.

Ergonomics as well as a shorter length of pull (12.5").

Modular sling mounting.

As you noted the ability to adjust a cheek riser for aftermarket optics as well.
