Mossberg 935

[Jburke]

So I've seen some of the older posts on this subject but I wanted to get some up to date info.  I'm looking at buying a 935 12 gauge 3 1/2 inch.  I want a good all around gun and think that the mossberg will make a great choice.  Has anyone had any problems or complaints about thiers?  Does it cycle everything from 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 reliably?

My roomate has that exact gun. shoots great. only thing is it hangs up on 2 3/4 shells when we go skeet shooting. cycles 3" and 3 1/2" with no problems.

Do they hang up often or just occasionally?

just asked, target loads, winchester, federal . everytime. estate game loads every couple loads i.e. every 6th or 7th shot. i do think i read somewhere you could get a lighter spring. but that it was bad to shoot 3 1/2 with.

My brother has one and shooting 3 1/2 wood jam about half the time but no problem with the 3 inch dont know about 2 3/4.

your brother may have the lighter spring in his gun

Ok, so with that in mid does anyone shoot a remington 1187 or the Stoeger 2000?

The biggest thing with the 935 is that it needs to be clean.  Keep it clean and well lubed and it should work great.  Break free clp seems to work the best on mine.  Mine will cycle anything over an ounce of shot.  Been shooting pheasant and ducks all season with 2.75" without a single issue.

It won't cycle the light 2 3/4" loads but the hotter loads it will work fine never had any hangups except for the light loads. Never had an issue with 3" or 3 1/2" but after every shoot I always strip the guns down and clean em. It's a good cheaper semi.

good pump for what ya pay for them, comparable the the rem 870 performance wise

the 935 is a semi-auto the 835 is the pump

It's all good

So it should shoot most loads just fine as long as the gun is cleaned properly then is what I'm hearing?  That's good to know.  I think I may pick one up next weekend.  Any other info is more than appreciated.
