I got an 835 utili-mag all tore apart in pieces, it wouldn't eject. Thought it would be gooood medicine on geese with that 3 1/2 inch BB shot!
I had to ram a rod down the barrel and pound out the spent shotshell each time I shot it.
Nothing worse than being in a blind, geese falling all around you from your buddies and you with a gun that won't run
Tried numerous things to get the shot shells from sticking, didn't matter high brass, low brass they jammed every freaking shot. Someone said maybe it has a micro crack I can't see...dunno.
bought a tactical barrel and some blackhawk furniture thinking I'd make a cheap tactical, wrong. The slide push arms are too long, mossberg wants too much money for shorted push arms. Tossed it all in a box and said heck with it 10-15 years ago. Hate that gun. I've had other mossbergs and all have let me down, I got a mossberg rifle that the safety doesn't work. afraid to shoot it, might blow up, but it came with the wife, so I can't bury it in a manure pile where it belongs.
I'm to Mossberg as Biggerhammer is to Tikka, I hate them.
good luck with it
