Brought home a Mossy 930 tactical Auto loader today.
This will be my texas snake slayer
The introduction of the Mossberg 930 series opens another chapter. Not only is the semi-automatic, gas operated shotgun a good choice for hunters and sportsmen, it offers a solid platform for the special purpose segment as well.
Shortly after the 930 was put into production, a "Home Security" version of the gun was developed. This model has a fixed polymer stock and forend, a blued steel finish and an 18.5 inch cylinder bore barrel. A combo package is available with an 18.5 inch barrel and a 28 inch vent rib wing shooting tube. These shotguns are fed from a spring-loaded tubular magazine.
The 930 Special Purpose shotguns include the 930 Tactical and the 930 SPX. The tactical model features the all new stand-off barrel. This component is a unique 18.5 inch barrel with a "stand-off" permanently affixed to the muzzel-end. The only sight on the gun is a large white dot front sight. While the primary purpose of the stand-off is tactical breaching, it does not hamper the use of normal 00 buck or slugs.
The SPX model has the many special purpose features. The SPX utilizes the basic 930 semi-automatic action with the black polymer stock and forend. Atop the receiver there is a factory installed picatinny rail. On the rail, we have mounted a robust, fully adjustable LPA brand ghost ring peep sight, featuring click adjustments for windage and elevation. Mounted atop the 18.5 inch barrel is a raised front sight. The front sight unit has a red fiber optic center post, which is flanked on both sides by steel "wings" for added durability in the field. To put the "X" in SPX, Mossberg has installed a Choate magazine tube extension to the shotgun. This component takes the capacity to seven plus one in the chamber.
No question, the 930™ Special Purpose Autoloader is another example of Mossberg innovation. It's an - an eye-catching, top-of-the-line shotgun that anyone would be proud to own.
Some 930's in action
