Ever bought a new semi-auto shotgun with no gas ports in the barrel making it a single shot out of the box before? Well grab a seat...this is a good one lol.
To all 940 buyers, better have a look at the shop before you take one home, what a weird thing to have missed!
So my first ever Mossberg purchase...got all jacked up about the new 940 pro shotguns, grabbed a 18.5" turkey pro. Got it all rigged up with esstac cards, a holosun eps mrs green, Carlson extended chokes from IC/M/F and ready to break it in and start patterning etc. and it's a single shot. A 4+1 single shot lol...it won't even try to cycle the action. Drive all the way out to my little spot to shoot a couple hours one way....thankfully I usually have more than one project to play with when I go so it wasn't a total waste.
Anyway...there's no gas ports in the barrel or gas block. All the gas just follows the shot right out the end of the barrel. Anyone ever seen that before? A gas operated semi-auto shotgun with no gas ports?
Unfortunately I can't resize images small enough to show you here. I'll get em posted on instagram 65grendelhunters shortly.
Canada warranty depot is Wolverine Supplies so they've got the pics and have asked for the whole rifle back and up to 10 months depending on parts.
So I'm buying a second one, it's coming to my local dealer and if like last time should land within a week. Won't leave the store without checking for gas ports this time lol. Will be stripping it down good at the store. Not waiting 10 months, what a way to start, it's too bad I was so jacked to get one of these rocking, I'm not even a shotgun guy, but this new 940 pro with the optics cut out and slick little turkey set up gave me the warm and fuzzies, buying it mostly for fun and predator calling.
Anyway...I'm sure Mossberg will step up as sounds like they have good customer service. Will see how long this takes. Then I'll have a brand new one to sell when this is all dealt with.
Happy to send someone pics if they can post, just message me with a number or email or something. I have iPhone, so text full size images will go instantly to likewise.

Mossberg should just send you a new barrel. Quick easy swap Keep the old barrel for a tomato stake, or a very special single shot as-is

They have great customer service. I wouldn't worry about it, send it to Mossberg and let them do you right. Mossberg is a good company.

yeah that's what I thought, just express me the barrel, through wolverine supplies or direct, now I gotta ship a whole rifle to the warranty depot in a different province, they supplied a shipping detail etc. but really...happy to send the barrel back in trade or right now as it's useless until I get one with ports so I can get ahead of it...anyway, I'll try a second one and see if I can get rocking, then I'll send this warranty one back once I have one up and running
mostly everyone...check your 940 pro before you leave the shop, save some aggravation, maybe I got a one off but how often does that happen?

Sounds like a good candidate for a turkey shoot gun. Only one shot at a time there. I've got a couple of friends who install sleeves in their turkey shoot guns- - - -chokes a 12 gauge down to 16 GA. in the last 6 inches or so of the barrel, and they scope them for accurate aiming. Those guns are illegal at a lot of shoots.

In this case instead of a drop-in choke the entire barrel is a "sleeve" that drops in. In any case to answer the OP's question, they don't make them like they used to (e.g. test fire)
