Bought an 835 for bamaboy a couple of years back, he's busy with school, I'm hunting the gun this spring (gobblers). The action bars seem to have gotten "sloppier" over the course of time. The gun rattles like a loose muffler. The nut for the forend is tight. The pins that hold the bars to the forend assembly seem the issue. There seems a need for some vertical play in the action bars in the design.
Is this a characteristic of the Mossberg pumps? Can the action bars be tweaked to reduce the rattle?? The gun shoots wonderful tight patterns, better than my beloved 870, but I fear the clanky forend is liable to spook gobblers up close.
