So, while I was shopping around for which semi-auto shotgun I was going to buy I watched a TON of videos from all types of channels and read reviews from all over.
The common theme was that one advantage you get from the Beretta or Benelli type semi-auto shotguns is the ability to do a Select Slug or Change Over from one ammo type to another without having to draw from the magazine tube of your shotgun because of the way these are built. Many folks out there from youtubers and gun reviewers alike all kept on saying you can't do the Select Slug or Change Over on the Mossberg 930/940.
Within a few minutes, I was able to figure out the manual of arms so to speak on how to perform a Select Slug or Change over pretty easily.
My buddy sold me his 930 for a killer price, so I grabbed this and then wanted to get a 940 as a result.
For those of you with the 930 or 940, if this is old news that everyone knows about, my apologies, but I couldn't find anyone anywhere showing folks how you can do this, so here you go!
For those that don't like video format and would rather read, here's how it's done:
With a round chambered that you would like to change out
1. Hold the bolt release button forward and hold it until the round that is chambered is ejected. On the 930(with small button), you will want to get an oversized button otherwise this will be difficult. This causes the next cartridge in the magazine tube to not eject onto the carrier.
2. Grab the shell that you want to swap into the chamber with you opposite hand.
3. Grab your charging handle and rack to the rear, ejecting the current cartridge (hold bolt to the rear until new shell is in place)
4. Insert the new shell of your choosing and let the bolt release go.
Bam, Select Slug/Change over done!
Knowing this will also help you to not perform the fatal flaw of ejecting the next cartridge from the magazine tube onto the carrier, when you already have a round on the carrier!
Thoughts?
