What to do with Magazine Follower Jam or Stick
Sometimes you may experience situations when your follower jams or sticks in magazine tube. How can this be fixed?
There are several possible solutions:
1. Check if follower is not broken, this could happen to a factory Remington follower, because it is not very durable.
2. Oil the magazine tube a little.
3. If you have installed magazine extension be sure to check that you have removed “dimples” completely.
4. Replace weakened magazine spring with a new one. Also, you can install an extra power Wolff spring.
5. Replace magazine follower with the one which has a “tail” that prevents kinking of a spring.
Hope this helps.

Nice little site on the 870.
Thanks! I am pleased you like it.
When my first mag jam happened I emptied the tube and fired a round. This was enough to free the follower.
Take care, J.R.
