Hi Brock,

The previous poster is correct in regard to ammo, somtimes after firing those plastic hulls can seize to the chamber walls.

It also could be that you scattergun is new an a bit sticky, adding a touch of lub to the forarm action bars might help. Note; you need to pull the forarm from the receive to do this right.

If this is a express gun, the paint like finish can feel a little bit gummy, 870"s wear into very slick actions, trust me, keep working that forend, It'll happen.

Hope that helps

Good Luck & Be Safe
