It's a used one I picked up for $230 at a quiet little gun store, but when I took it to the range I ran into a problem.
It wont eject shells properly, when I fire a shot and work back the action, the spent shell stovepipes in the breech of the reciever while another shell pops out of the magazine and lodges itself agianst it, completely jamming the whole action up.
When a shell does happen to eject, it seems very weak, it drops from the side of the reciever instead of flying off to the side like I see with most shotguns.
This happens no matter how hard, or how softly I cycle the action, I going to take this 870 to a gunsmith, but could someone shed some light as to why it's doing this?
