^^Nice stuff guys!
Figured I'd come back and give an after action report on the new 930.
Got together with some friends to shoot a couple boxes of clay pigeons over the weekend. So I obviously ran the 28" barrel first up. I was shooting cheap wally world Federal 7.5 shot low velocity target ammo. I had one failure to feed in the first few mags, and the gun ran like a champ after that. And with the .250 drop spacer, once I got warmed up, it was dead on for me.
After that I swapped to the 18.5" barrel for some fun. Supposedly the low velocity target ammo is the nemesis of any short barreled gas semi auto. But I'm happy to repot that my 930 will run through mag dumps with the cheap stuff as fast as you can fan the trigger, not one hiccup. I also tested out some of the Fedral flight control 00 buck and was highly impressed with it. Around 1.5" groups at 20yds out of the smoothbore barrel, very impressive.
Full disclosure, my Glock choked on a round too, and that's the first time ever, and I mean EVER. It was also running the cheap Federal red box stuff at the time. Coincidence or ammo QC issues?
The one shell that failed to feed in the 930 had two faint score marks in the plastic that matched the lifter ramps exactly. So when I brought it home I tore it down and my lifter had a couple small raised rough spots left over from machining. So I carefully filed those down to match the rest of the profile of the rails, radiused any sharp corners, then proceeded to polish the whole lifter while I was at it to make reloads quicker and easier and hopefully make feeding smoother as well.
I couldn't be happier overall though. I ran 80 rounds through it and had one issue with cheapo ammo on a brand new not broken in gun. It fits me perfectly also. I've always heard that an ill fitting shotgun is what casues bruising of the shoulder, and my Dad's Benelli always left me black and blue for a couple days. Not that I cared or it hurt mind you, but the 930 doesn't do it, not one mark. Can't wait to go back out!
Lifter all done
And a short vid with the 18.5" barrel and the cheap stuff.
