Does anybody know a dealer that has em (I know its doubtful)? I'm looking for a 22" version. What I would really even settle for is a dealer that would be willing to order one for me. I have emailed 3 of the local shops right now about ordering, but none have gotten back with me. I'm assuming it could take about 8 weeks if not more to get one in stock so I would really like to order one now in order to shoot at least a couple matches by the end of the year. Getting frustrating. I guess none of the guns I have ever bought have been this sought after, or new, and I'm not enjoying all the time its taking trying to track one down. Thanks for any help.

I almost wish I would have kept my 870 now to shoot as well. I almost bought a 20" M1 the other night for $800 bucks, but I really would like to stick to about $600 so I have money to do some upgrades on my rifle as well. Damn hobby.

I hate to break your heart man, but I got one of the two from grabagun. I just happened to be checking email, and it popped up. You've never seen me run so fast to get my wallet. If you want I can make a list of all the stores I have signed up for emails so you know for sure you aren't missing one.

Ya no problem, I'll have a couple hours here in a little bit, and I'll IM you a list.

As far as I have heard most people aren't having a problem. I haven't laid hands on my gun yet though. Most of the clubs I will shoot at with it have moved to 8 as the division capacity before the buzzer so there's not really a way I could benefit from it in tac ops.

You aren't kidding man. I had actually given up looking by the time grabagun sent me the email notification. Even then I almost didn't order right away assuming that a large shipment had just made it to the dealers. Thank god I did though. They must be way behind if grabagun is only getting a couple at a time. Have any of ever experienced anything like this with a new gun? I usually am saving all my pennies and dimes to buy guns so I get to them pretty late, and haven't really bought any new-to-the-market guns other than an XD a few years ago. Just blows my mind that I had to try for months to give my money away and no one seemed to want it. Most guys weren't back ordering either.

Good thing I bought two when I did then. Hope you guys can find one.

I may eventually upgrade to a Benelli or FNP if the JM930 ever starts giving me any issues. Other than cleaning the gas piston on it and having C-Rums weld up the carrier, I haven't had to do much to it and I have around 2500-3000 shells through it so far this year. I'm pretty happy with it and its been a good shotgun for me.

I hope that's true. Would like to pick one up some in the near future!

Just got home from the range after shooting my JM for the first time. I ran Winchester AA 1145fps, 1200fps, Federal 1300fps and Remington 1200 OObuck through it with absolutely no problems. It cycled perfectly even with 10 rounds loaded (1 chambered, 8 in the tube and ghost loaded) I could not be happier with its performance. Mossberg must have made some changes.

There is a 930 JMPro posted for sale in the Shotgun EE this morning.

Thats great. You should do the same for the OP.
I am sure posting that that you meant to be helpful and will get the OP the same deal. It should be no big deal for a guy like you.

I was making light of people taking advantage of the situation and overcharging for the gun.

Got mine today locally for 639.00 .

FYI-

Picked up one today for the local shop. Had 2 on display (and an SPX in a box). Good price from what I've seen especially since it fell in their "sale" list. $600 on the nose.

Somebody posted a $2 fee for a background check? Not where I purchased mine unless it is buried in the purchase price.

I got luck today! I found one and put it in layaway, the 8 rounder for $579.00 + tax. Actually it's been at this shop for 5 months. Figured it was mine since no one else been interested

Glad to see Mossberg is starting to catch up with demand so everybody can get their hands on these. Can't wait to shoot my first match with mine.

I got totally lucky and found one a 22 inch at the closest local gun shop to my home. I had been looking and added myself to every notification list on the web with no avail.
I was at a local multi-gun match on Saturday and mentioned to a friend that I was looking for one and he told me that the LGS had one three weeks ago when he stopped by.
Taking a chance, at the next stage break I called and yes indeed they had it $639, $700 OTD. I paid for it immediately on my credit card and went in yesterday to fill in the paperwork.

any luck since the last post? i am looking for one also

there is one in knoxvilles armlist

I have a NIB 930 JM Pro (22" 8+1) and a new uninstalled Picatinny rail if you're interested. Was going to go this route, but thinking of another direction.

If you're in KY, I'm not that far away in OH.

I did post mine in EE. When I bought it they were selling for above MSRP. It definitely isn't marked up anywhere near double what I have in it.

I've given up on finding a JM pro due to Mossbergs inability to deliver even before this panic buying. I took a look at Todd's in the EE and it'd be worth the consideration if the price wasn't so absurd. The $600 range is more realistic. But alas.. a Benelli or a Versamax.. that is the question

I've had a 24" jm pro on order with my FFL since November '12.....nothing. It's such an awesome shotgun for the price, and I'd hate to give up on the wait. Woe is me

OK, I am new to 3 gun and have also been trying to find a Mossberg JM Pro Model 85118 or 85119. I have followed that one on Gunbroker for three weeks from the sellers original post on Armslist and then on Gunbroker.
Like I said, I am new to 3 Gun, and want to make sure I am going to continue with it before dropping $1000+ on a new shotgun. I figure I can buy the Mossberg and upgade at a later date.
I managed to pick up a 24" Mossberg this morning at Academy Sports for $599.99.
Here is how I did it.
The inventory system at Academy really sucks, but after talking to Customer Service(888-922-2336) every day for the last eight weeks, and several store employees, I finally figured out that Academy has no idea when they are going to receive product from the manufacturers, when it will leave the Distribution Center, or what stores the items are going to.
I did find out that almost all of the deliveries to the stores take place at night. Being firearms which are heavily regulated and "checked out" when sold through the inventory system, all firearms received must be entered into the store's system before they can be sold. This is done each morning before the store opens at 8 am. Customer Service can tell if there is a particular SKU number going to the store represented by a negative number for the item in the system, however, they cannot tell when that item will be available at the store. Customer Service also opens at 7am because Academy has stores in EST, so, you can call at 7:30am CST to see if the stores in your CST area show a negative number for that item. This will hopefully give you time to get to the store before it opens and be close to the front of the line. I got there at 8:10 and there were already 5 guys in front of me doing paperwork. Luckily, no one was looking for a JM Pro.
The SKU number for the 24" model is 0023087299.
I hope this helps some of you find the shotgun you are looking for.
Good luck.

ive been told by mossberg that you can place an order for one through your LGS and they will place the order through a distributor. apparently they are not just produced for distribution they are made on an order basis.
