Rem 870 Problems

[brandej]

I have a Remington 870 Express and when I am out shooting trap it jams on me. I am using Federal 7 1/2 12g ammo and it seems like every 3-5 shots it jams and won't eject. Any ideas? I clean it after every trip to the range but can't figure out why it is jamming. I've probably shot about 400 rounds through it so it's pretty worked in.

Polish your chamber with steel wool.

I had the same problem I polished the chamber and have shot over 500 rounds without a jam

I have also recently had some problems with Federal
The load I was shooting that day was #8 topguns

My 870 is a 1969 Wingmaster so now concerns of it being new production less quality control freedom group nonsense

I have had only 1 ejection issue with mine in 15 years. And that was when somehow a 3 1/2" shell ended up in my bag.....didn't notice it when I loaded it....noticed a lot more recoil.....then noticed it wouldn't eject. Needle nose pliers, yanked it out, still runnin strong without a problem.

870 Express Magnum, 2 3/4 & 3" only BTW

Interesting two of my nephew having the same exact problem with their 870 is about 5 years old.I will advise them to polish the chamber too.
