I picked up a 930 spx a little while ago for $520 off gunbroker. I knew I would probably have to deal with a canted front sight as all the local stores had 930's with the front sight issue. Well low and behold the gun I got off gunbroker looked a little canted. I took it out today and was unable to zero it at 50 yards with slugs even with the rear adjusted all the way left.
I called mossberg and was Immediately talking to someone in CS. A fed-ex call tag was issued and they want the whole gun back. They would not just ship me a barrel. They said they had a problem with the front sights being installed incorrectly by LPA in Italy and that they are now getting them done correctly (no shit, for at least a year now). Said the turn around time was 3-4 weeks. Time will tell... Besides the sight issue, this shotgun is a fricken blast to shoot. Digested everything from cheap walmart bird shot to S&B, Federal, Winchester full power loads and reduced recoil loads. Hopefully mossberg will do me right

I haven't even bothered to call them about mine. I am going to wait until I hear enough people getting theirs corrected, then worry about it. Luckily I was able to get mine sighted at 50yd with slugs. Even had a bit of windage left. Figure I might be able to score just the barrel in the coming months once Mossberg gets their shit together. |
| The 930 SPX has jumped to the top of my list and my USAF son's list as fave guns to shoot. For the price, it's hard to find a better price/value deal on a reliable and killer-lookin' 12-gauge autoloader. Mossberg will take care of it, it just might take a while. |

i just picked mine up for 520 on GB too! I noticed the front sight was canted. Called mossberg and requested Juan, the supervisor.
I told him I wanted a new barrel shipped to me. He agreed and said it would go out monday. When I get the new barrel, I will send the old one back. you can't let these people walk over you! Happily, the gun shot about 150 3 dram game loads out of the box without one problem! |
| I just got a 930 SPX and shot it today. I love the shotgun but the rear windage is almost ran all the way to the left and that is for 25 yds. My eyes are screwy since I have had a medical situation so I can not tell if the sight is canted or not. +1 on a sure way to tell for sure? |

If you have a vise thats level, or another way to steady the shotgun so that the receiver is level, the front sight should be level too. |
