Remington 870 supermag...about to throw this gun in the trash
« on: November 13, 2016, 01:07:20 PM »
I am having really bad problems with my Remington 870 supermagnum express. I bought this gun last year during a Black Friday sale so i could use it for duck hunting the following year. Last week and this week when I was duck hunting the gun could not load 3 inch shells into the chamber. I load the shells into the magazine and when I pump the shotgun it gets jammed and is not able to go into the chamber. I have tried 4 different brands of 3 inch shells including, hevi steel, hevi metal, Kent, and black cloud. Every single shell gets jammed when I try to pump the shotgun. For deer season a couple weekends ago I also used 3 inch federal slugs and they also jammed. I have used 2,3/4 shells and they seem to work fine. Occasionally they fail to eject from the chamber. I'm pretty disappointed with my gun right now and could use some help. It's really frustrating when my gun jams when I'm trying to hunt ducks. It's not the shells because my friends all use benelli shotguns and the shells do not jam in their gun. Thinking about just getting rid of the gun because it's not even worth selling at half price

Have you contacted Remington?  That would be my first move if it were my gun.  No sense in getting rid of it, it's probably an easy fix.

Another weird type of jam. Yesterday when I had a shell in the chamber had a duck fly right it front of me landing with my decoys and when I went to pull the trigger nothing happened. The shell wasn't even in the barrel all the way like in this picture but the slide was all the way forward

I've emailed Remington but will miss my entire duck season if I send the gun in for 2 months. That's why I'm thinking about just buying a new benelli. This gun has been just problems since day one with shotgun shells

So the slide was locked forward, but the bolt wasn't closed and engaged?

I had the same problems. I ended up throwing it in the river while on a goose hunt. Went and bought benelli nova and never looked back.

Heard of lots of problems with the newer production 870s which sucks because the old guns were amazing.  I will never get rid of mine......but it is 30 years old.  I would look at getting a benelli.

Yeah I'm pretty sure that's what happened. I then tried super hard to eject the shell and it took awhile and then went to cycle a new shell into the chamber and it jammed of course

I'll give you $100 for it if I don't have to drive far. What's your location?

I have an 11-87 that I bought from a member on here. (Stated no issues) that did this a lot. I took it apart and polished all the moving parts and it now functions flawlessly.
