Does anyone have one and know if it's overbored or not? I have a 935 which is overbored to the same diameter as a 10ga. which means I can't fire slugs out of it.
I was thinking about picking up a 930 but want to be able to fire slugs out of it.

I just used a Mossberg 930SPX at Mas Ayoob's LFI II. It performed perfectly, tiny shot groups, 90 rounds of slugs and 20 of 00 shot in intensive drills. I fired the final match which ends with firing 5 rounds of slugs as fast as yu can. All rounds must hit the A Zone.
I did it in 1.3 seconds.
I do not believe it is overbored.
I've never heard of as much toward the 930 SPX in specific.
I have wanted one for 3 yrs. now but finding one in stock has proven to be an impossibility.

Thanks guys. Sounds like I'm good to go.
As for being in stock, Dicks sporting goods has them all the time around here. I hate buying stuff there but when they have what I want they're getting the cash.
Picked one up today. Cleaned it and hopefully giving it a workout tomorrow.
I couldn't get the 930spx to cycle for more than 3 or 4 rounds in a row. I only had 1 kind of ammo with me. I'm going to try another type.
Shot well over 100 hundred rounds of #8 birdshot through mine a week or so ago. No jams and it eats 00 and slugs like nothing else.

I sighted mine in at 75 yards on Weds and it was remarkable accurate. That doesn't indicate that it's over-bored to me. I'm going to re-sight it next week for 30 feet for home defense. Fine shotgun. Didn't hiccup once and I put 70 rounds through it.
update on this gun.
After about 150 rounds it started shooting anything I fed it. Nice gun.

Its a good idea to lube them good when first breaking them in til they smooth out a little,then lightly lube the contact points and your good to go

I am hearing from customers that these guns run pretty well either right from the box or after 200 rounds or so, nobody mentions anything other than they shoot tight groups. If the forend is loose, the fix is to mount one of those Wilson Combat sling swivel plates under the mag tube extension.
I hope these guns run, I just bought one with the pistol grip buttstock - waited 11 months for it from the distributor. Oh, and the mag tube extension to barrel dimension is the same as a Rem 870, so if you want to put a clamp up there to keep the extension from moving, anything for a Rem 870 will work (nope, I didn't figure that out, the guys at Nordic Components did).
