The OR3GUN Marine Spacer Tube (MST-930) for Mossberg 930/935 series shotguns is a major enhancement to the reliable function of your firearm in all weather conditions.

For years, competition shooters like ourselves have battled seemingly random cycling malfunctions with the gas systems in Mossberg's 930/935 series. This has been a point of personal frustration for most of the OR3GUN team, as we invested heavily in the 930 platform due to the reasonable cost of running duplicates and the 'lefty friendly' nature of the guns. Our Patent Pending product is not only the solution for many of these frustrating cycling issues, it is the first device to acknowledge there is a problem that needs to be addressed in the first place.
The OR3GUN Marine Spacer Tube replaces the Mossberg OEM ‘Gas Piston Spacer Tube’ (located inside the forend) during the course of a normal shotgun cleaning. This OEM spacer is where you typically find a buildup of carbon fouling, dirt and in many environments, water. Moisture from humidity, condensation, dew point and precipitation is the often ignored component in the 'random' malfunctions experienced with the 930 platform. Most people don't think to consult their local meteorologist to help troubleshoot their shotgun. In addition to the functional issues created by the changes in weather conditions, often times the resulting moisture is only discovered hours or days later when it has also begun to corrode the magazine tube.
The factory OEM spacer tube exists only to passively transfer the energy of the gas piston to the pusher assembly. Mossberg utilizes a tightly fitted aluminum tube over the existing steel magazine tube. A number of unforeseen problems are set in motion by this component as humidity and round count can conspire to slow the cycling of the gas system to the point of malfunction.
The MST-930 was engineered to be an active component in keeping your gas system functioning at peak reliability. This was accomplished by designing an entirely new part with a carefully engineered feature set. This cutaway of one of our original production prototypes highlights some of these features in detail.
A relief is incorporated within the center section of the tube in order to minimize contact between dissimilar metals, greatly reducing the amount of condensation formed. This relief also reduces contact of friction surfaces by more than 75% for smoother cycling. The oversized outside diameter of our Marine Tube is stronger and more durable while engineered to be 10% lower in overall weight for faster cycling shot to shot.
A matrix of holes in the relieved center section of the tube allows transient gas pressure to actively expel moisture, carbon and dirt during normal cycling of the gas system. The holes also allow the part to vent while cooling, greatly reducing trapped moisture which can lead to corrosion if cleaning is delayed.
The end sections of the tube are the same inside diameter as the OEM part, creating narrow contact rings that squeegee the buildup of moisture, carbon fouling, dirt and excessive lubrication from the magazine tube. This debris would otherwise form slurry and slow the OEM part through hydraulic friction or resistance. Instead, this debris comes to rest inside the plastic forend of the shotgun where it harmlessly awaits the next regular cleaning. Each ring is designed so that it will travel further than its length during cycling for the most effective shedding of debris.
The anodized finish of the OR3GUN MST protects the part itself from corrosion and won’t flake, chip or peel over the lifetime of the component. The finish also enhances the durability, ease of cleaning and efficient heat-transfer properties of the MST.
