You live in DFW, as in Dallas-Fort Worth?That's the problem with Mossberg, hit or miss.... No matter the model. I know I will catch flack for my next statement, but it is my experience with Mossberg products (Ranging from the 500, 590, 930, MVP, ect). I am satisfied with my 930SPX enough to rely on it as a bear defense gun (I live in the DFW area.... No bears). I have given up on it as a three gun tool and a home defense tool. Too many issues that require tinkering and parts replacements. I will only sell it to someone local to me willing to pay my purchase price of $760 (After taxes) and will sign a disclosure accepting all responsibility for the gun and absolving me of any liability for said gun.

I would take the extractor claw out of the bolt assembly and polish it.. remove any sharp edges. With regards to the magazine tube, that is unnaceptable. I'd have them send me a replacement tube.. make the change yourself instead of sending back to Mossberg. If they balk on sending you a replacement, send them the picture of the chewed up tube they sent you.
Newbie question......but is the extractor claw removed during a normal cleaning, or is it a part I need to disassemble further than "normal" to inspect for sharp edges? Any pics would really help me envision it. THanks gents.I would take the extractor claw out of the bolt assembly and polish it.. remove any sharp edges.

Personally I've never disassembled any part of the any bolt assembly on any firearm I've ever owned. There should be no need to remove this for normal cleaning. I would say it is only done for purposes of correcting a problem with the part.
I purchased a new 930 SPX from Cabelas about 6 weeks ago. First time out it would fail to feed about every 4 rounds. I was using Federal premium slugs and buckshot. Shells that would chamber would have pieces of plastic sliced off the crimped end from a sharp edged at the extractor notch area of the chamber. I sent the gun back to Mossberg for repair. It was returned a month later with a new barrel, magazine, magazine spring, and test fired. The gun cycles now, but upon loading I am only able to load 5 shells (2 3/4"). The shells or follower hang up where the extension and magazine meet. The tube magazine has a jagged edge, splits, and part of the metal is even rolled over. There is no way this can be smoothed out. The Mossberg tech must not of loaded more than 5 rounds when test firing, and I wonder why a clearly visible defective magazine was installed. I will attach photos later. So here I am with a new 930 that still has issues. I am ready to cut my losses and go with different manufacture.
Just a "bump" to see if someone can include a pic of the suspect edges on the claw that I can inspect and potentially smooth out to improve function.........thanks all!Good to hear, so if someone could send a close-up pic showing the "edges" of the claw that I should inspect for sharp edges, I'd appreciate it immensely.
