So I opened up my loading part....

[Blue Pilgrim]

Hello folks.

I just opened up my loading port to my Mossberg 930 and today I put a few boxes through it and it ran with no problems. During the last box though I noticed some nice cuts to my thumb and other fingers on my strong hand. I was practicing double loads.

On inspection I noticed that my carrier latch pin had rotated. So instead of a smooth surface I have a nice finger shredder. My question is; can I rotate it back and use something like JBWeld to make sure it doesn't rotate? Or any other suggestion?

Also, when the last shot has been fired the bolt is locked back (given), but the carrier is locked in the down position, I can't go straight to loading the magazine. Do people load a shell into the open receiver, put the bolt forward and then do their loads (2X or Quads)???

Thanks for the input guys, It's my first semi shotty and I am use to the Remmy 870 and Mossy 500.

This is normal

Thanks for the input guys.

I'll remove the pin and add the loc-tite... and practice my reloads....and save my fingers

most competitors will tell you to never run your gun dry..... hence no issue with lifter lock.

Great advice and something I do with my long gun and pistol.... reload when you can, not when you have to

Either don't run your shotgun dry, as suggested. This is really the best option. When you do happen to run it dry... this is the way to go:

Or alternatively I knocked off the real ones with about $0.10 of kydex and half an hour...

I saw those little puppies and now have another reason to get one. I was also thinking the old velcro sleeve on receiver. (I'm use to this being on the 870 (in Kydex) on my work toy; so have some muscle memory for that set up).

Thanks again for the input guys.
