Solocam Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 Lets start by saying I mainly bow hunt for deer. I will go out during muzzleloader because I like black powder huntin. I had a Rem 870 w/ a slug barrel for the past two years. I could never get it in good pass 50 yards. So I sold it and got an Mossberg 935 mag. I know, I know, some will say that Mossberg sucks and other with say they are great. I took my new gun out this weekend to sight it in. Well, here is the problem, I got it in at 100 yards tight groups too. When it wanted to shot not miss fire...yup you read it right miss fire. I ran around 50 rounds through it and over have the time it would miss fire. I called Mossberg first thing Monday morning and they said not to use the gun anymore and to send it back. I was just wondering if any Mossberg users have heard or had anything like this happen to them? Should I ask for a new gun or have them fix it. Lets just say I am not very happy at this time might be looking at stickin with the bow and my smoke poll. Thanks for any and all info good or bad!!

Tecumseh Posted August 7, 2007 Report Share Posted August 7, 2007 I'd send it in, Mossberg has an excellent warranty on service dept.I have a 835 that I waterfowl hunt with and have never had a problem with it.See what it's like when you get it back and go from there.

LifeNRA Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 It already shoots tight groups, its probably something simple fix will take care of! Then you will have your tight shooting gaige back! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry264 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Solocam, unless I'm mistaken, Mossberg tells you in the owner's manual not to shoot slugs through this overbored barrel. You may have a problem getting anything done to it under warranty. Check your owner's manual. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecumseh Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I was thinking the 535 when I responded to this terry264 might be right I know you can't shoot slugs through an 835 barrel and if the 935 is overbored you may have voided the warranty on the gun.

Solocam Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 You are 100% right you can't shoot slugs through the overbored barrel. I was shooting Sabots and Mossberg calls for them. Let start over alittle the gun I have is an Mossberg 935 Mag. Sluggster w/ an CLB. Mossberg calls for Sabot shells to be used only. Thanks all for the info and input so far. As of Wednesday A.M. the gun was shipped back to Mossberg so we wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terry264 Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 hi solocam, well I guess I learn something everyday. Didn't know Moss. even made that combo model with a rifled barrel to shoot saboted slugs. Sure hope they fix it up for you 'cause you didn't violate any mfr. warnings. I'm not totally up to date on shotguns for slugs but a little closer to being up to date today, ha. Don't usually pay much attention to these things since in WV we don't "have" to use them. Good luck, terry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solocam Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Hey Terry264, Yeah if i am not mistaken the Sluggsters are new for this year. I know that the 935 Mag. Sluggster is for sure new this year. Here in Maryland only the West end of the State you can use rifle everywhere else is Muzzleloader or shotgun. Thanks again and happy hunting.
