Mossberg® Debuts the 940™ Autoloading Competition Shotgun
The JM Pro, 940™ available in two 10-shot variants, is a new 12-gauge autoloading shotgun platform from O.F. Mossberg & Sons, Inc., a leading American guns manufacturer. The 940™ JM Pro is the culmination of two years of research with world champion shooters Jerry and Lena Miculek, and is designed to fulfil the needs of today's competition shooter with a variety of factory-direct aftermarket modifications and accessories.
Using the iconic 930™ JM Pro-Series Competition Shotgun as a baseline, the Miculeks worked with Mossberg engineers to identify and help re-design major areas of improvement that included the gas system; loading port; point-of-aim/point-of-impact; overall product fit and functionality; sight system; and choke system.
All the newly designed components led the way for the introduction of a new autoloading platform from Mossberg, the 940™. Major attributes of the 940 autoloading shotgun include:
Gas System: The 940's innovative gas system will cycle any type of excellent factory-made 2 34 or 3-inch ammunition for up to 1,500 rounds before needing to be cleaned. A stepped and vented-spacer component has been included to keep the gas system functioning smoothly by shedding any moisture or carbon build-up each time it cycles.
The loading port: The 940’s loading port has been designed to allow the user to efficiently quad-load the magazine tube straight out of the box without any need of modification to the receiver. The elevator and shell catch have also been designed to eliminate common pinch-points.
Point-of-Aim/Point-of-Impact: Mossberg engineers designed a new barrel-making method for the 940 to ensure consistent manufacturing of a platform that allows a user to retain an accurate point-of-aim/point-of-impact when using premium factory-made ammunition.
Fit and Function: The Mossberg 940 has a sleek profile and an ergonomic forend and stock, both of which include Mossberg's distinctive texturing for a positive yet comfortable grip. The stock is totally user-configurable, with options for length-of-pull (13–14.25 inches), drop, and cast right out of the box. The controls (charging handle and bolt release button) are anodised for further durability.
Sight System: The 940 JM Pro utilizes a fiber optic HIVIZ® TriComp sight system that offers nine user- interchangeable LitePipes, in three colors and three shapes of varied height, for superior sighting in any competitive environment.
Choke System: Equipped with Mossberg’s Accu-Choke™ system, the 940 JM Pro ships with a set of Briley® extended chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder and Modified) that come engraved with constriction for easy selection.
The 940™ JM Pro features 24-inch barrel lengths; 10-round total capacity; and matte blue-finish on the barrel. Options include choice of black synthetic stock and forend (SKU #85111) with tungsten gray-anodized receiver. Gold-anodized bolt handle; bolt release button; magazine extension nut; safety button; trigger; and cocking indicator which easily identify your 940 in a rack of similarly- equipped competition guns.
