So from my other threads you may have seen I have been modifying my Mossberg 930 SPX to be a better HD gun as well as be set up for the 2 and 3 gun matches I have started competing in.
Here's what I did tonight:
You can see the big difference between the stock bolt handle and this Choate one. I didn't think I would like it as well as I do!
I put in the S&J follower in and now am down to 6+1 capacity but after manually cycling several full loads through the spring never once binded up which I had some issues with in the past. Plus the hi vis color and nipple allow for quick determination both visually and/or by touch.
To make up for my loss of capacity I put this 4 shot Mesa side saddle on. I like it alot, the rubber internal grips allow you to load from the top or bottom. I like being able to pull from the bottom so I can slide it right into the magazine. Plenty of clearence by the rear sight too.
Here are some pics of the whole thing, I already had the Gear Sector sling and Streamlight TLR1 with remote switch.
Here's a link I found to help me put the thing back together again after I had a spring shoot out that was not listed in the manual!!!

Bottom line make sure the 930 is cocked before pulling out the bolt carrier!
Now to get it to the range!
