I bought a used 930 turkey, traditional grip stock, camo , 24" barrel. The magazine tube was crimped at the end where the magazine spring retainer clip is, and the threads were shaving, like a coil spring. Bought a new replacement magazine tube from Mossberg.
This new magazine tube will not stay set into the receiver, it will come out by hand after 10 rounds.
Put blue loctite on threads, used a oil filter strap wrench (it's like a pipe wrench, but uses friction of the strap instead of teeth to bite the tube) on magazine tube.
Same thing, comes off after 15 rounds.
I'm considering 2 options: the first is to use JB Weld epoxy on the threads, like super loctite. No, I don't plan on removing the mag tube again.
Option 2 is to remove the magazine tube, drill a small hole on bottom of the receiver, tap threads, screw magazine tube back in, then use a allen head set screw to lock magazine tube to receiver.
And no, I don't care about resale, or "devalueing"; It's mine and it'll stay that way. I don't sell guns.
Sound okay, or is there another idea someone has?
