Been Having problems since last turkey season.... need help changing the firing pin i do not know how to remove the pin from breech theres no problem of taking the gun apart i just can see how to get the firing pin out please help me guys??? :blob10:
Somebody has to know about a month till turkey season im dying here!!!!???!!! :turkey2:
One way or another its gotta come out the back of the bolt. Without it sitting in front of me I'd say check for retaining pins,clips etc. Sorry not a Mossberg guy...if it wore a buckmark I would be more help.
Thanks for replying but there are no clips or pins......there is just a spring and the firing pin and there breech....I am lost I hope someone out there knows
Try YouTube or look for diagram on mossberg website.
If you can not get it out I would spray it with brake cleaner then hit it with compressed air. That combo will clean darn near anything. Then lightly oil. If you are getting light primer strikes you will probably want to clean the trigger group real good as well.

What Snoodsniper said...if it's not broken. After reading your post yesterday I researched online all my normal places I would find the exploded diagrams of the bolt...none show the exploded view of the bolt so no help there. I would assume it has a very small pin that needs to be drifted out.
If you can't figure it out PM me and I will take mine apart and look at it.
ive cleaned it several times the firing pin is to short compared to the knew one i have to change it
I sent you a personal message.
Hope you guys can get it figured out. That's good of Mike to offer to strip his gun to help you out. Just speaks to the quality of people on this site. Good luck!
I googled this for you....maybe it will help you out.

For any other 935 owners reading this thread...I took the bolt out of my year old 935.
To remove the firing pin there is a very small roll pin (firing pin retaining pin) that runs vertically thru the bolt (from top to bottom about half inch from rear of bolt). This will need to be driven out.
It is not designed to be easily removed like a Benelli Super Black Eagle, or Stoeger 3500 firing pin etc.
I am pretty savvy working on guns and think I could remove mine if needed but it is so small in diameter I am afraid it would be difficult to re-install it without damaging it. Definitely need the proper sized roll pin punch etc.
Just an FYI, hope this helps.

I apologize but I just saw your post. I don't see what the problem is with the current one but normally if you'll you can resolve any problem with light strikes by using some type of CLP directly into the bolt and soaking the firing pin with it. Let it set for several hours and then do it again. That should take care of any malfunction.
Thanks,
Clark

Probably takes what they call a cup point punch. It is a gunsmith tool and comes in sets. A set will cost you more than it will cost to take the bolt to a qualified gunsmith and have them replace it for you.

Like most tools the initial cost will set you back a little bit but if you like to do stuff yourself they'd be a good investment.
A roll pin punch has a dimple protruding from the tip that fits inside the hollow pin and keeps it centered.
That may also be called a cup pin punch I haven't heard that term before.
Ah it is a roll pin. Didn't see that. No you are correct, a pin punch is needed. Cup point punches are designed to drift solid pins that have rounded ends.
I think moSsberg has a 10 year warranty, it would be something to check into.
If that retaining pin is anything like the moss 500 it is a pain to drift out. Be absolutely sure to use the proper size punch and a piece of wood to set the bolt assembly on. You will have to drive it fairly hard.
I had the light strike problem a couple years ago. The cleaning like Clark said worked for a while. I thought mine needed a new pin so I took it apart, all it needed was a good cleaning, light oil and reassemble. Been fine the last 2 years.
I hope I didn't post this twice but I think mossberg has a 10 year warranty.
mossberg does have a 10 year warranty i sent my one 835 back i broke the firing pin . now they wanted the whole gun because it is part of the firing mechanism . i sent it in it was about three weeks turn around :
