Yep...Happy day indeed.

That's a good vid.
This was an issue with my 870 Tactical(also my son's 870 mag). After doing some research, I found the the small brass ends on the 'cheaper' shells was causing this issue. To test this, I bought some Remington Express shells, which have more brass.
Cutting to the chase, my 870 has ran 100 rounds of this ammo through with NO issues.
That's interesting. The Rio is actually brass (low brass). It is also worse than the Federal bulk packs about it. I figured that it may be that the soft brass is worse about digging than the aluminum/tin bottomed federals.
Well, it seems I may be doing this same thing to mine. Took it to the range for the 2nd time since buying it and it started hanging up. I'm going to polish up the chamber and see if it helps. I was watching this video and he changes the extractor too. In case you haven't seen this video I'm adding it for you to check out.

That's the vid I got the idea from. I'm gonna hit it a little more. Then I'm going to take the dremel with a polishing cloth and some compound to it.

I had one that was a mossberg. Great gun. You're gonna love it.

It's funny. But scary how close to the truth it is.

So I had pretty good results. I used the Rio that gave the most trouble. It went from only 5 out of 25 that DIDN'T stick to only 3 out of 25 that did. And those 3 popped right out with a second tug at the forearm. I was having to pry it open when they stuck before. I'm not sure if I'll hit it with the steel wool again or if I'll try the dremel with a polishing wheel. I tried those Rio's in my new never fired Beretta A300 Outlander that I've been waiting 2 weeks to shoot. It cycled a box fine. No hiccups.

So I finally got it finished. First thing I did was sand that band down that is seen in the pics above. I used my Dremel with the finest sand paper drum in the box.
Finished product...
Next I wrapped 0000 steel wool around a 12 ga. bore brush and oiled it down. I also rubbed a little il in the chamber.
Bore brush...
Next pic is the chamber. I ran the drill on the low speed setting. I slowly ran it in and out so as not to make any grooves. I never went in over 2-1/2 inches deep. I would stop and check the progress every minute or so. The total run time was approx. 6 min. That probably varies depending on how bad the chamber is. I only went in as deep as the brass would go. I didn't see any need to go deeper since it is definitely the metal base that is hanging. You can clearly see the transition in the pic where the polishing stopped. You can feel it with your finger, too.
So far this is all I am doing. I will try it out tomorrow to see if this fixed it. If so I may hit it with a final polishing with the Dremel and a polishing wheel with some compound. Then I will blue it.
BrasilNuts....This was simple. I'm sure you could do it.
-
Yeah. The gun did it right out of the box. It was cleaned and lubed every time I have shot it and before I shot it the first time. Those specs that look like rust in the pictures...I can't even see them just looking at it. Only in the pictures.

One issue I could see if you did break them apart is that when you put them back together it would be near impossible to get the front sight aligned properly without the right tools. But I a not familiar with the bluing process so it may have too. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable than me can give you some more concrete info. Might be worth a call to a smith.

Could a man use a small wheel (brake) cyl hone? Ive used it on a single shot before
That would probably work. But I've got steel wool and a bore brush laying around for free.
-
Thanks for the replies. I was checking it out and I noticed a ridge just outside the edge of the chamber. It's pretty rough and raised. Also you can see the machining marks in the chamber and on the hood pretty good in the pics. I found a vid where this was easily remedied. Seems awful easy to fix. I think I might try it.

I may send them an email and see. It's definitely a problem with the gun and not the ammo. But if I shot it like I should I would have found it a long time ago. That's not their fault.

My 870 Express Super Magnum is having a problem with spent shells sticking in the chamber. I have to pry the bolt back while pulling the forend back to get it open. When it first did it I blamed the cheap ammo. It was Rio. I bought some better ammo and it didn't do it. But it has since done it with the WalMart Federal value packs. I did some searching and it looks like Remington has had an issue with rough chambers. The gun is 2 years old. It hasn't been shot very much. That is why I just now suspected a problem. I read some suggestions of taking steel wool and wrapping it around a dowel and using a drill to polish the chamber. Does that sound like a good idea? Would I be safe to knock of any burrs with a stone as well? I would send it back to Remington but I doubt at this stage there's much they'll do.

Best feller I never met. Smart guy and knows his stuff and he's not one of those "forum guys" that has to rub it in your face. TGO is lucky to have him around.

What a great looking rifle!

Awesome!

Thanks! It's all clean and ready to roll. We'll see how it does

Beretta A300 Outlander. Picked it up today from Outpost Amory. I had a really good exerience with them. I think they had the only 2 A300s in Middle TN. (1 now) Thanks to everyone who has answered all my shotgun questions lately. This is what I settled on. Hopefully I'll get to shoot it tomorrow. It's a very nice gun. Can't wait to hear it go boom.

O/U is probably how I'll wind up going. But man that CZ Hammer Classic sure is pretty.

You're right gregintenn...My wife's alright. Like you said, she don't say much aslong as things are taken care of.
Tempest455..Your son is pretty good with that old shotgun. He also makes a great argument for the sxs.

870 shells hanging in chamber
in Gunsmithing & Troubleshooting
Posted
Finally got around to working on it a little more. I hit it a couple more times with the steel wool and polished it with the dremel and a cloth wheel with some polishing compound. Seems to have cleared it up. I'll update if anything changes. I appreciate the input from everyone.
