Just bought a brand new 930 SPX.
I go to tear it down to clean, inspect, and lube before firing (like I do with all new guns). When I pull the mag tube extension off, the spring pops out under a crazy amount of force and flies out onto the bench tied up in a knot. It felt like it exploded.
I have taken quite a few mag springs out of shotguns over the years and have never had one that stiff or under that much tension, ever.
I measured it and it is 37.5 inches long.
I can not get this thing to go back into the tube. It wants to kink out to the side and will not compress enough to get it back in.
I am starting to think I may have the wrong spring. Could they have accidently installed a mag spring for something like the 940 JM pro with the 9+1 mag tube?
It is brand new and I have not fired it, but I feel like it might be hard, if not impossible to get all 7 rounds in the tube with that stiff of a spring (if I can manage to get it back in).
I have a 2nd identical 930 SPX I bought used (fixing to sell it) and the mag spring in it is only 27 inches long. I have no history on it and no clue how old it is, but I just have to guide the spring a little and it goes back in with no fuss. No loading or feeding issues with it, holds the full 7 rounds no issue.
