Did you try cleaning the chamber with a brush and solvent?

I clean it every 100 rounds with a wire brush and breakfree clp, or do you mean another type of solvent?

"just throw it away"

hahahaha, nice commentary. I was reading that its do to burrs or roughness in the chamber. That is a particularly bad jam.

[yoteassasin]

this happen every once in a while, while im duck hunting it always seems that it happens when there are piles of birds coming in. the final solution would go get a brake cyl hone from kragen and take the barrel off and hone it out some i suspect it is the finish rem uses that creates this. def a problem just with new guns my older 870 would never do that

I have heard this is a pretty common problem with new 870's, I keep having problems were after I will shoot the gun won't want to eject. I have to use both hands or hit the stock on something sometimes.

From what I understand this has to do with the chamber being to tight due to old machinery at Remington.

Do I have to ship the gun off to Remington for the fix? If its not to much I would rather just pay and take it to a local gunsmith.

Here is a video of it jamming. BTW that speedfeed pistol grip is the most amazing pg for a shotgun, you could shoot buckshot all day with it.

Mine does the same thing, I even had it checked by a Remington warranty gunsmith. He mentioned something about fly-cutting the bore or some such.. but it still does it. I just shoot a little slower to help reduce the 'sticking'

I have an 870 WM which is older, and an 870 Express both in 12 gauge. The Express has a Rem-Choke on the barrel so I changed out the Express' barrel to the WM for duck hunting. Doing this I had the same problem you are having. When the barrels are on the respective guns I have never had a problem. I believe that it has something to do with the tang that engages the receiver. I also feel that the looseness of the Express and the close tolerances of the WM might have something to do with it. If that receiver is an older WM and the barrel is newer this might be the problem.
Hope you get it fixed

Try wrapping some steel wool around a 12 gauge brush, chuck it into a portable drill and smooth out the chamber:

Oh and watch your finger on the trigger when clearing the chamber.

I had the exact same problem, polishing the chamber will fix it 99% of the time. This works perfect.

LOL. A gunsmith will know how to fix the Remington Slam. Glad you got yours fixed, Bob.

I haven't had any jam issues, but I went with AIPPI's technique (that @creampuff mentioned in his post) of the #000 steel wool on a wooden dowel, "like a big Q-Tip".

Cost maybe $4, and I can polish the chamber and barrel for the next decade.

The only downside is that the wooden dowels are always a bit warped, so either the drill or the barrel will wobble enough to make your arms shake like an out of balance washing machine.

[supersteve9219]

I vaguely remember someone saying that if the magazine cap is on too tight it will do this, and that you should have it a little loose; is there any merit to this? I always screw it down snugly, not too tight.

I will try the steel wool thing.
