I definitely take care of my firearms. No clue what has happened here or why the forearm retainer and mag tube plug failed. At this point, it still has had less than one full box of ammo ran through it. Perhaps it doesn't truly like the 3 1/2" Long beard XR's I have ran through it. Other than the Federals I ran through it this morning, those long beards are the only round I have shot through this firearm. I have the Carlson Long beard choke installed for those rounds as well.
Time will tell.

After I put the gun back together, minus a plug, I filled the mag tube 3" Federal steel Shok BB and fired it off as fast as I could pull the trigger. It ran flawlessly.
New plug (Butler Creek) has been ordered.
My new waterfowl obsession had me considering getting a new gun. However, I decided that if I could get my Mossberg running right, I would just order an additional barrel for it since Mossberg does offer a 28" barrel for the 935. I bought that barrel and three different Carlson (Delta CR, MR & LR) choke tubes.
Hopefully it will continue to run smoothly and I don't regret my decision.

Was the gun new when you bought it? Brand new from Mossberg when I bought it. They gave me grief over replacing the forearm retainer so, I doubt they'd help me any further.

Good morning all. I have been having issues with this Mossberg 935 magnum turkey since I bought it. It has not had more than 10 rounds through it. ONLY 10!!! And after the fifth or sixth round, the firearm retainer shattered. Thankfully that was after I dropped my turkey. Mossberg sent another one. I took a couple practice shots last year before season and had double feeds. Once I shot my bird last year, again, double feed. I just tore the entire gun apart and found a broken WOODEN dowel on the inside. Could this possibly be the issue? Thanks.

Headed to Red Lobster tomorrow for lunch. I'm certain Daphne will be getting the snow crab legs and shrimp scampi!

I just saw a small bachelor group cutting across the field. Two had full racks, two had half racks one had no rack.

Honestly, I think the most responsible thing to do is get a separate choke tubes for my Mossberg 935 auto loader that I use for turkeys. I'll have to put on a new front sight.
This will save more money for ammo! Lol!

I have a chance at a new Benelli Super Nova with a 28" barrel and in a grassy camo pattern. $575. Good deal or no?

I'll probably get a few mallard and wood duck decoys. Although I have seen some green winged teal in the area, it has been very few. Not enough to want me to get any decoys.
And I'm perfectly fine with getting a used, pump action shotgun for ducks.
I have access to a small job boat to keep down by the river. I was thinking of building a blind down after the owner gave me permission to. But, I really enjoyed standing in the trees so, I'll probably disregard the blind.
I definitely won't want to burn out my river spot and I'll probably hunt it sparingly. I do have two other permission pieces that get ducks on the ponds. My main permission piece where I deer and turkey hunt gets a lot of geese during the early season in the fields. That was my main reason for getting the big foots. That and being able to contribute something for when my buddies take me out again.
I appreciate all the advice! I welcome all the information I can get!

Nothing special on our end. Hectic work schedule this week but, I'm taking a day off next Tuesday to take her out to eat and to shop a little. I'm sure Red Lobster will be out first stop.

I ordered a dozen big four geese decoys with a couple decoy bags, a layout blind with a snow cover.
Rogers had a great sale.
I want some different duck decoys and some calls as well.
I don't necessarily NEED a waterfowl shotgun but, I definitely WANT a dedicated waterfowl shotgun. I don't really want to pay for an auto loader but, a pump would be nice.

The property owner has a hard time getting around. But, I did tell him that exact thing this morning. I'd help him get out there anytime.

I thought I was in a good spot when I found this old platform out there.
