it definitely has some resistance on the rim of the shell, not sure if its enough to cause the jam.
we will see i suppose.

shotgun should be delivered to mossberg tomorrow.

Just curious, when did you buy yours?

Also, get rid of the factory follower, mine was junk.

it arrived at mossberg yesterday.

I emailed my contact about it today to let him know it arrived.
if it comes back running then I likely wont touch a thing on it other than maybe a new front sight

Still yet to hear back that my gun was received or anything which from what ive read online is pretty much par for the course from mossberg CS and that communication is one part they are lacking.

When I sent my revolver back to S&W I got email's letting me know the repair status and when it was shipped back to me.

Anyone have any experience with turn around times from mossberg?

I bought my BIL one for $399 at Academy and regret not getting one for me.  It runs like a champ.

Sorry it's been a while, but Igot mine about four years ago, back when they were still 600 bucks for the SPX.

small update

After Mossberg has had my shotgun for a month now I called corporate HQ to see what the story was.
They had no update for me.

I asked for them to follow up and reach out to the eagle pass facility to get an update, at this point its costing me money due to registering for 3 gun matches earlier this year with non-refundable entry fee's.

I spoke with the product services coordinator and asked for a call back by the end of business hours today with an update.

well after getting ahold of management last week they expedited my repair and my gun got back to me last Friday.

They replaced the bolt and the lifter.
I dont want to jinx myself but this weekend it ran about 30 rounds of birdshot and 20 rounds of low recoil slugs without a problem.


It will take some range time for me to build confidence in it, but so far so good.

Are Mossberg semi-auto's really as bad as a lot of post in this thread indicate? I almost bought a 930 for my first shotgun a couple years ago. After nobody having them in stock I went with a pump action 500. I just wanted a 12 gauge in the house as I'm an AR and AK fanatic; have assembled quite a few in my time too. However, I find myself grabbing the Mossy more times than not for our little coyote problem. Honestly, it's never failed in any way... probably because it's a pump. Makes me hesitant to ever go semi-auto for any serious use.

Mossberg is shit.

Get a Beretta or Benelli for serious semi-auto reliability, particularly the former.

Yeah, you get what you pay for in life; almost no free lunches to speak of! When I go semi-auto it'll be a Beretta or Benelli for sure. I was soured on Benelli after trying a friends for a skeet match. It was a semi auto and a pump model. Pushed a button on the fore end forward and it ran in semi-auto mode. Pushed it again and pulled it toward the stock an inch maybe and it ran as a pump. Pretty neat idea I must admit however I have no idea what model it was because this was in 1999. In either mode it wouldn't cycle bird shot. Ended up finishing the match with a pump 870 borrowed from my brother. Probably a fluke with the Benelli though because I've heard so many good things about them that I'll give them another chance for sure. I'm glad I've gotten back into the shotty's recently though due to the coyote dispatch need. They really are fun to shoot... both the Yotes and the Shotty's that is!!!
