They sold new for just under $200. They never took off because you could buy a pump shotgun for about the same price. Plus the H&R / New England single shots were selling for around $100.

How would you rate the mossberg 930spx shotgun?

The shotgun is the Swiss Army Knife of the firearms world, the variety of ammunition it is capable of utilizing enables it to carry out a wide variety of jobs. When it comes to semi-automatic shotguns that strength can also be a weakness.

The development of semi-automatic and automatic shotguns lags well beyond that of other arms for a variety of reasons, one of the big ones is reliability. It is often quite a challenge to design a semi-automatic shotgun which can cycle both heavy loads such as slugs and 00-Buckshot while simultaneously being able to cycle light loads.

As to the 930spx, an old saying goes 'You get what you pay for.' No one is going to confuse the Mossberg 930 series with a Benelli M4, or an FN SLP. That said, a careful shopper could acquire a 930spx and $1,000 dollars worth of ammo for the price of one of the previously mentioned two.

The 930spx should prove itself a reliable firearm in the hands of a capable wielder, and should experience acceptable reliability so long as one sticks to slugs and buckshot. Venturing into lighter recoiling ammunition (and accessorizing without consideration) however will result in decreased reliability in the form of failures to eject, failures to feed, and similar issues. Keep it simple and stick to the heavy stuff and the 930 won't let you down.

In essence don' expect more performance out of the gun than you paid for, and you will not be disappointed.

Can you ride with a shotgun?

If you has a licences for it, then yes.
