Mossberg 930 SPX Blackwater Series 12 Gauge Semi-Auto, 18.5 in Barrel, Matte Black, Ghost-Ring Sights, 7-Round Capacity
This Mossberg 930 SPX Blackwater Series stands out for its short-lived Blackwater branding and proven SPX feature set. It pairs an 18.5 inch steel cylinder-bore barrel with a fixed C choke, an extended 7-round magazine, and a receiver-mounted MIL-STD-1913 rail with ghost-ring sights. The 930 SPX platform earned the NRA/Shooting Illustrated Golden Bullseye Shotgun of the Year in 2009, and this example reflects that pedigree with practical controls and a durable matte black finish.

What’s Included
- Mossberg 930 SPX Blackwater Series 12 Gauge semi-automatic shotgun
The barrel is marked "MOSSBERG MODEL 930 — 12 GA — 18 1/2 IN. — CYLINDER BORE — CHAMBERED FOR 2 3/4 AND 3 IN. SHELLS," confirming the smoothbore, non-threaded cylinder configuration with a fixed C choke. The receiver carries "MOSSBERG 930" on the left and the "BLACKWATER" logo on the right, tying this shotgun to the limited Blackwater-branded run from the early 2010s.
Sighting is fast and robust thanks to the receiver-mounted MIL-STD-1913 rail with an adjustable ghost-ring rear and a wing-protected front post. This setup provides a durable iron-sight system with the flexibility of the integral rail for mounting as needed.
The gas-operated system uses dual gas vents for reliable cycling across 2 3/4 and 3 inch shells. An oversized, knurled charging handle and Mossberg's top-tang sliding safety offer intuitive, gloved-hand control. The extended tubular magazine runs to the muzzle and is listed at 7-round capacity.
The SPX configuration features a synthetic black stock with a pistol grip, ventilated recoil pad, and sling studs, plus a two-piece polymer forend. Overall length is approximately 38 inches with a 14.0 inch length of pull, finished in matte black over an aluminum alloy receiver.
