Mossberg has updated the design of the Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical Thunder Ranch Series of tactical shotguns with the new 940 Pro Tactical Thunder Ranch shotgun with Cerakote Patriot Brown finish on the stock, fore-end, receiver and barrel. The shotgun also has an optic-ready receiver as well as a 18.5-inch cylinder bore barrel with red fiber optic front sight and the Thunder Ranch logo on the receiver as well as a host of features.
Designed in conjunction with Thunder Ranch Director, Clint Smith and the Thunder Ranch staff, the Mossberg 940 Pro Tactical Thunder Ranch semi-automatic shotgun is based on Mossberg’s cleaner-running 940 Pro gas-operating system that allows for longer cleaning intervals and smooth, reliable operation. Internal parts (gas piston, magazine tube, hammer, and sear) feature a nickel-boron coating and special finishes for ease of maintenance and durability. Standard features of the 940 Pro Thunder Ranch include an optic-ready receiver for direct mounting of micro dot optics; drilled and tapped receiver; oversized ergonomic bolt release; knurled and extended charging handle; enlarged and beveled loading port; elongated, pinch-free elevator; bright orange anodized follower and an extended magazine tube with eight-round total capacity when using 2.75-inch shells. The synthetic stock is self-draining and has a user-adjustable length-of-pull with a range of 12.5 to 14.25 inches with the use of inserts. Further adjustability is provided for drop at comb and cast with the use of incremental stock shims and the grip area features Mossberg’s signature texturing. At the rear of the stock is swivel sling mount. Stock, fore-end, barrel, and receiver feature durable Cerakote finish for reduced wear and corrosion resistance.
