Escopeta semiautomática MOSSBERG 930 SPX Pistol Grip 8T - 12/76

In the world of gas-powered shotguns, MOSSBERG makes a particularly attractive proposal, highlighting functionality at a particularly content price. It is a spartan weapon, devoid of luxury, which bets on reliability, balance and economic price, thus having a magnificent price quality ratio. These features make this one of the most sold shotguns in your class in the USA.

Before entering the operating details and technical aspects, we will point out their constructive characteristics. Since in North America, the country of origin of this shotgun, hunting the duck in wetlands is almost a religion, it is no wonder that the same present improved corrosion-oriented features. We can say that it is literally designed to live in a swamp with it, assuming that it will get wet and usually hit.

For all this the mechanism drawer is of an aluminum alloy, the spring recoverer is stainless steel and the lock is nitried with embroidery. This last treatment extends to other parts: piston rings, girder, hammer, recovering spring piston and recovering spring tube, for deep corrosion resistance.
Note that, the boro nitride also adds lubricity to the set of components, something important in a gas-powered shotgun, which always requires shorter cleaning cycles to ensure its perfect functioning.

As for its dimensions of this model, the Mossberg 930 SPX, these are very compact thanks to its 18.5” (469 mm) cannon made of carbon steel, which gives a total length of 984 mm. It is a well-balanced weapon, with a relatively lightweight weight, since it is 3.290 g a feature that allows us to fast loads and quick tracking shots. This last thing we can see watching videos of Jerry Miculek with this 930. It also helps the quality of the trigger, which without becoming competitive, is of the lightest in its category, only 2.40 Kg.

MOSSBERG 930 XSP is a gas-operated shotgun, equipped with a dual self-regulation and evacuation system of surplus gases. The excess gases of the operating cycle, come out through two windows, formed by two rows of perforations in the form of “V” on the cannon, without interfering in any case with the shooter. These two windows help reduce the retraction and relay of the cannon, especially in powerful cartridges. Such is the attenuation that is achieved, that it is very easy to spend the day shooting with it, without the excess accusing of the kickback. The consequence of all this is that we will have an unheard smooth operation, in addition to outstanding reliability. All this will allow us to repeat the shots very quickly. A particularly valuable feature if we use 76 mm or magnum cartridges, as the chamber is prepared for this type of ammunition.

The safety of the 930 is other of its outstanding aspects, while most of the competitor's shotguns in this segment have the insurance in the ranger or in its proximity, in the Mossberg it does it in the handle loin. This allows natural use of ambidiestro. If we think that this shotgun will be times when we pack it with gloves or simply in situations where adrenaline flows in quantity, we will appreciate the advantage of that location.

Speaking of the ski lifts, we will point out another unusual feature in this type of shotguns, a small metal pin placed on the inner side of the locker in front of the trigger. This will be projected to the shooter's finger when the gun is armed and therefore ready to shoot.

The set of the trigger is very easy to access, the shooter can be released simply by pulling out two black pins outside the walls of the action. Something important, considering that this weapon can be used for hunting waterbirds, where the characteristics of the hunting environment, make the shotgun require a deep cleaning after use, for example, when it is developed in marshes areas.

Speaking of extras or accessories added to the weapon, point out the existence of a very useful lock with a steel cable, to secure the weapon by passing it through its charging and expulsion window. An element that I use in each of them, both when I transport my weapons in the car, and when they are kept in the box at home. Something that, from my point of view, is a very interesting security plus.

With regard to the system of views, it employs the famous LPAs Ghost Ring mounted on a Picatinny lane. This makes it very easy to acquire when you face the weapon, which ultimately results in the speed of shooting. In the case we want to add an optic, the mechanism drawer is perforated and threaded for mounting or a lane.

As for the bowl, this is polymer, straight without a carrilla, with a vertical curvature and handle of a gun. This configuration is the most rational and appropriate for semi-automatic weapons with a tactical vocation like this. It complements the cantone a black, soft and medium-sized cantonera (20 mm) that significantly absorbs the regress, does really well its work. Also highlighting the existence of fixing points for a portafusil strap, in the aquatic hunting modalities is a very valuable feature, given the difficulty many times of posing the weapon without it getting wet.

Finally indicate that the tubular munition deposit has a capacity of four cartridges (limited to 2+1 by our legislation) and has a very good charging window, it is fast, simple and does not pinch your fingers. It has a quick release button to empty the charger to easily download the weapon.
