Just another +1 that if it is the action ... it will smooth out over time. The first time I took my 870 out it seemed like I had to fight the pump sometimes.

But now that I've been through a mere 250 rounds and 3 thorough cleanings and oilings, the action has REALLY smoothed out. Didn't take long.

I do leave this shotgun a little more wet than I do some other guns I own.

The warning about the chamber stuff is good advice. Thanks!
