I've got a newer 870 express I'm having issues with. When I pump the shotgun the spoon doesn't move to load another round. I took the gun apart and everything appears to be normal. I have two other 870's I took apart to compare and nothing looks different. I added a Blackhawks stock months ago without any issues. Any suggestions would be appreciated before I take it to a gun smith.

If you mean the carrier is not raising the shell up so the breech bolt can pick it up then you have an issue with the carrier dog. I would say the carrier dog plunger is stuck or the spring is stuck. Your carrier dog could even be broken. If you call me I can talk you through checking on that issue or even put live on my work bench as I have web cams on the bench. I am up till about 9pm your time. Have your trigger plate assembly in your hand when if call. Number is 231-690-0954Last edited by aippi; 01-18-2015, 5:30 PM.JD McGuire, Owner

If you're going to a gun fight, take a shotgun. If you can't take a shotgun, don't go.Comment
