Remington 870 Jamming Badly!
Remington 870 Jamming Badly!
Post and pics from Remington 870 Forum, maybe you can help?
I have my Uncle’s 870 to work on. He recently acquired it at a low price.
The gun jammed on the first shot.
Badly.
The 12 gauge round was completely stuck in the barrel and the action would not move.
I removed the barrel at home, retrieved the expended cartridge and found a large bulge on the brass!
Upon further exam I found a corresponding “dent” or machining error in the breech of the removed barrel.
I have 2 other 870s to compare this to and neither has this indent.
Attached are links to pics of the barrel and the shell.

I had the same thing happen to my Remington 870 express first day i bought it! not as severe as what happened to yours. But it did have a jam and also the action would not move. I had to send it to Remington because the gun store that sold it to me could not figure out the problem. Good thing it was brand new and under warranty. I am still waiting for them to send it back to me. You might need to send it in to solve the problem.
