I'm not exactly sure how this happened. Or why. But, I had confirmed the zero on my Mossberg 935 magnum turkey before season. No issues. No issues with the gun last year with. On April 23rd I shot my turkey. However, after the shot, the spent casing ejected but, a new round failed to feed and the bolt stayed about a quarter open.

This morning I decided to clean the gun. As I was taking the forend off, three pieces hit the floor. It was the forend retainer. I have no idea why or how this occured. Any thoughts, feel free to opine.

I have sent an email with pics to mossberg.

I couldn't help myself. LOL A buddy has one, has had nothing but problems with it, from failure to extract shells to shooting the choke tube out of the barrel.

I've used Mossberg shotguns since 1995. This is the first issue I've had.

I seen they had some on their site but, I don't want to go the polymer route again. I found another site that sells them made out of aluminum alloy. I'll try that I think.
