Finally Ordered The 940 Pro Tactical

[ByAnyMeansNecessary]

Almost a year ago, exactly, I started a thread about the 940 Pro Tactical and one of the things that holding me back (forend).

940 Handguard

I'm am currently looking to get two new guns in the next couple of weeks. Both of them possibly being Mossberg. One of them is the 940 Pro Tactical. Before I buy it I'm just curious are there any options on the market for a tactical handguard? I'm looking for an M-LOK front handguard for the...

I had always been a pump kind of guy but wanted to add a good semi-automatic tactical shotgun to my collection.

I had it narrowed down to the 940 Pro Tactical or the 1301.

I like Beretta but I'm really not a person that buys based on nothing but name and because of the improvements of the 940, and especially the cut out for the optic, I was leaning heavy on the 940.

The only thing holding me back was I wanted an MLOK forend and couldn't find one.

Well I found this one.

96200 - Truckee Forend for Moss 930/940 (12-GA, M-LOK, 10½ in)

Therefore I ordered it and picking it up in a few hours.

The forend is still important to me but before I buy it I'll probably try a light/laser combo on the barrel clamp and a optic.

Any suggestions on immediate mods/accessories right ot of the gate that are a must?

Thanks

Nothing productive to suggest, but that's a good choice for a semi-auto 12ga.

Let’s see some pics with the new fore end?

I'm starting to lean towards selling my AR-10 and getting a 940. A semi-auto shotgun for the home, for me, is likely a much better tool. I'd bought the AR-10 kind of on impulse; thinking I was going to try to get back to long-range shooting. It's more of a pipe dream now.

Pictures of the new rig would be nice when you have time.

I bought a nice Ruger A10 thinking that I would enjoy shooting it more than my Savage Model 12.

So far this is not the case and I have not been able to produce handloads for the. 308 that are nearly as accurate as my .223 loads.

As for the 940, I don’t own an auto shotgun, but as much as I like my 500 cruiser, I think I’d like to have a 940, and the tac gear with it.

I've got a 940 Thunder Ranch en route, everything's ready except I haven't quite decided on the WML setup.
I've read many reports of the factory barrel clamp breaking or warping from heat over time so I'm thinking of this as a replacement despite the 5oz weight: HBI 940 Barrel Clamp
Placing the light farther forward reduces barrel shadow but necessitates use of a remote switch. Placing it farther back allows use of the light-mounted switch but increases barrel shadow.
I've got a Streamlight TLR RM2 I'm going to try first but if that doesn't work out, I might try an Inforce WMLx or the same Streamlight HL-X Pro I have on my rifles.
Decisions, decisions!...

Always decisions until you get it right. I have box full of stuff that I have tried and replaced. What I’ve learned is that simple is better especially with shotguns. Bead and buck is a pretty good combo. A WML is good as long as they are not shooting back.
