SOURCE: Just purchased mossberg 935 used gun from cabelas

I own a 935 and it is a tank..... i spend atleast 3 days a week in the field during duck and goose hunt. i love it! I dont shoot 2 3/4 loads through it because it is never wise to do other than manufacturer specifications. And to be honest I think the outfitter at cabelas should lose his job for telling you to do so. I slapped a kicks high flyer choke on mine and many a bird have met their fate at the end of my barrel...

SOURCE: Mossberg 500 20 ga shotgun

Can be a burr in your tube that the spring is strong enough to push the other shells past....but really, you're probably looking at a new mag tube spring is all. You can test it by removing the mag tube spring and stretching it a few inches and then replacing it. If it works, cool! But that fix is a temp one. Spend the $3 and get a new Wolff spring at any gun store. If it doesn't work, run your finger inside the mag tube mouth til you feel it scratch your finger. Sand paper wrapped around a dowel....


Let me know if you need anything else!

SOURCE: mossberg 500,12 ga. shells will not feed

This will sound sort of stoopid but trust me, more folks do it than you would believe. First thing....push the shell all the way up into the mag tube til your thumb is up the first knuckle. If you only push the shell til you hear the first click, you're only pushing it past the first stop. With it one stop in, a pump will drop it on the floor every time. Simple way to prove that, load three shells into the tube but only load the last one til you hear the one click. Pump it. First hits the floor, rest load perfectly. See what I mean? On ALL pump shotguns, you have to hit both stops so push the shells in up to your first thumb knuckle.

You don't. You send it back to Mossberg and let them do it. Seriously! They'll do it cheaply, probably free.

Just bought an 835 pump foerarm loose and wobbles is that normal ita a 12 gauge mag

assume this is a Mossberg. All pump shotgun forearms wobble from side to side and feel loose. As long as it functions properly (loads and ejects shells), nothing is wrong.

Mossberg 817 magazine

Not much can go wrong. Have you checked your extractor? If it's intact and not broken, try moving it with your thumbnail. Is it loose? That's a spring problem. If it's tight and intact, WITH THE BOLT OUT, try slipping a small diam wooden dowel down the barrel to see how hard it is to push a spent shell out. If it's tight, you've got a burr in the chamber or dirt/varnish buildup. Examine the shell for scratches. If the shell's good and no scratches, clean the chamber with a brass brush mounted in a drill.

Mossberg 500, shell will not eject

did you check the elevator to make sure its not applying the pressure on the cartridge interrupter and cartridge stop? or that one or both aren't damaged and over bent. the ejector slot on the bolt isn't damaged, or the action slide bars.

My Mossberg 500 12 gauge shotgun double feeds cartridges and jams

There should be a catch on the magazine tube of the shotgun, is it ejecting two shells into the chamber when you try to cycle the action? If so check to see that the catch is not damaged. I have the same shotgun and I can take a look at it when I get home.

Double feed on mossberg 500AB-12 guage

Push all the shells into the tube ALL THE WAY with the first half of your thumb. Try shooting it again. The most common "double feed/one drops onto the ground" is one shell not all the way forward of both stops in the mag tube. If it's only one stop, it drops to the ground. Second, if that didn't fix it, try stripping the gun and cleaning the slots the two stops rest in. Both have to be spotless without grit or the stops won't work right. Third, if both the others didn't fix it, email Mossberg and get replacement stops....someone "fitzing" the gun without knowing what the heck they were doing is the third most common fault in feeding. You can get them from Ebay cheaply but chances are they may be the bad ones someone else replaced.

My mossberg 500 drops a live shell without chambering it after the first couple. I have removed the plug to increase the maximum shell capacity. I have kept it full loaded in my safe for several years, and...

Tom, it's been five years on this one of yours. Do you by any chance still need it answered? Just asking because it's a sort of long answer and I'm not quite up to typing it if no one needs the info ;)

Does ANYONE need help on a dropping shell problem with a Mossy 500?

I have a mossberg 835 ultra mag waterfowl and for some reason it doesn't want to feed shells into the chamber. Also, it wont eject them from the chamber sometimes. How do I fix this problem?

I'm beginning to hate this format. Answers out of order, answers on the wrong questions, questions skipped for months at a time.

Your 835, have you by any chance changed the forearm slide action tube? If you have and you used a model 500 tube, the 500 tube is about a half inch too short. It won't trip the stops on an 835 and you'll get the probs you are now. No feeds, no ejections. Try a real 835 slide tube.

What is the difference between a Mossberg 500 and a Mossberg 535 max 4.

The 535 is simply a slightly stretched model 500. It can chamber and fire 3.5" shells where the 500 will only handle up to 3" shells. The guns are identical in function and pretty much identical in parts except the stretched bits.

How do you load a 12 gauge pump action Mossberg (500)? There is no magazine for it, but, is mag ready. How do you manually load?

The loading port is on the bottom of the reciever. You mention that it is "magazine ready"? Mossberg shotguns have a tublular magazine underneath the barrel, surrounded by the action bar and front grip.

Loading the magazine entails holding the shotgun in one hand, taking the shell in the other with the folded end facing the front end of the barrel. Place the shell in the magazine opening (on the bottom) and push it up with your fingers and forward with the thumb of the same hand. It will go completely forward of the silver/blue lifter and stay there when you let go. (the action must be closed to load the magazine).

Alternately, you can open the action and pop a shell into the ejection port on the right side, close it back up, and shoot!
