Now that I think about it, it makes sense. He said that his 870 has malfunctioned similarly, though not as obviously, once in the past, with a fully loaded magazine tube. I've been waffling back and forth(if you haven't noticed) but finally got to sit down with a trusted 870 owner. No apology necessary, though it is appreciated, and reciprocated. The system of tubes we call the internet does not leave much room for tone. I've not tried loading it with jazz hands yet, as it might be more difficult.ĬDMJ, both of our posts came across as abrasive, even though we didn't mean them to be. I'm using the pad of my thumb to load the shells. I wanted to get your input before sending a message off to Remington.Ĭalifornia, I'm not sure what you mean by spirit fingers. While 99% of the time this wont be a problem, as a home defense shotgun, Murphy's Law makes that 1% very obvious. This doesn't happen with the 870s mentioned above.
If the Follower stays caught on the shell then, as the action is brought forward, the shell will drop from the receiver as the follower rises. If the follower returns to its downward position, blocking the loading port, then one or two shells will be pushed beneath the bolt, causing a double feed when the action is cycled. What that means is that upon quickly loading a shell, the shell will catch on the Follower before catching on the Latch. The carrier dog follower(part 50 in the manual) is shorter than the Latch - Left(part 61) See the orange lines. Talking with Bolsa Gunsmithing, the barrel is just rotating against the barrel lug, and is evident on the 887s.Īnd now possibly the most simple, but what I see as a major issue. There is a minuscule amount of play in my fathers 870(older than I am) and none in my neighbors bone stock 870 express. The bolt still seems to lock into the barrel properly. But I can rotate the barrel 1/16 of an inch (0.5mm) to the Right. As though when the rib on the barrel and the rib on the receiver, are lined up, then its where it wants to be. The barrel, or its ArmorLokt coating, can be twisted while fully seated in the receiver. The for-end on my fathers 870 Wingmaster, has a little play in it but not quite as much as my 887 The front for-end seems loose, it can be twisted back and forth against the barrel. I recently received my first shotgun, a Remington 887 Nitro Mag Tactical, and while I haven't shot it yet, I've noticed some issues.
