I had to polish the chambers of my Coachgun when I was Cowboy Shooting. Made the chambers really slick and the empty hulls just fell out. Easy to do with a dowel rod and 4X steel wool and oil.

Seems to be quite common that 870 chambers are sticky over last few years, and especially with cheap low brass shells -- see the complaint frequently on forums. And yep, that's standard fix. Fine stee

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.

Wow. The only 870 I have is the one my Dad bought when I was a teen. It's a 20 Wingmaster 2 3/4. I can't recall it ever having a problem. Now there are youtube vids to show how to fix a common extraction problem makes me sad.

The metal finish has gone to hell also. Lots of the entry level 870s with rust on the shelf in last few years too.

I've had so much going on, I haven't even had a chance to mess with mine yet. I'm glad yours seems to be good to go. Hopefully your next range report will be an A+!!

Me, too...I was more than a little disappointed.

Mine had rust on the mag tube cap when I bought it.

I have one box of the Rio left. If it cycles all of them this weekend I am going to call it good.
