Hello! new member here. bought my first firearm this year for my birthday, Mossberg 535 in mossy oak duck blind. smoked a hen turkey and suzie mallard so far.

anyone ever have their inner mag coil bunch up? spring pressure was low on the insert in the bottom so we took apart and the spring looked like a balled up mess. no idea if it came from factory like this, can't imagine how it could have done that in action.

That happens when the magizine is over compressed by trying to cram in more shells than the tube is designed to hold.

To do that the plug must be removed.
Not a normal factory issue, somebody in the shop did that or if bought used the previous owner(s) did.

hmm. yeah we took it all apart and unwound it, fixed now. never tried to put more than three in for hunting, plugs never been removed prior to trying to fix it. bought it brand new from a store.

Yes I am postive you never did but somebody did.
And I would get a new spring
A over compressed spring is mashed beyond the set so it now is weakened and will fail at some point.

I've heard of getting your panties in a bunch, but not your mag spring...

I guess another way would befor the spring put in the tube to where the coils over lap.
Anyway I would be leary of it.
