I picked up a new 20" mossberg 835 a few months ago and the other weekend when i shot some 3.5" shells out of it most would not extract. A few cycled no problem, some had to have the pump cycled hard a couple times to come out of the chamber and a majority I had to take a cleaning rod and push the shell out. When pushing it out it came out easily. The rim on them looks a bit bowed or streached out so the extractor is slipping rite off the rim. The brass towards the plastic measures .807 and rite above the rim it measures .842. I have shot many 2.75" loads in it and have not had this problem they all extract fine. The shells I was shooting out of it were Winchester Supreme 3.5" max dram 2.25oz #6 shot turkey loads. So far they are the only 3.5" load i have shot though it, I plan on testing a few more this weekend when patterning it for turkey. I am wondering if anyone else has had this problem with mossberg 835's recently and is this thing even safe? Another thing i noticed is that mossberg on their camo shotguns makes the slide a bit looser as to not wear off the finish. Any ideas on how to get that a bit tighter? I tried looking for self adhesive teflon tape to put on but it appears to be impossiable to find. |
