Got a new 12ga. 870 for Christmas and took it out to shoot some clay targets. Put 60 rnds of Rem. all-purpose loads through it. A number of times (at least 15) it was very difficult to pull the forearm back to eject the spent shell. It was almost like it was locked up and required a very hard and sharp pull to get it to cycle. When it didn't do this it seemed to work very well and it cycles smoothly when not loaded. I posted this question over in SHOOTERS and some felt that it is the tightness of a brand new gun and others thought it might be the brass swelling in the breech which is making some of the extractions difficult. This is my first shotgun and I really enjoyed the outing except for this problem. Three friends were there and shot it with the same results. I would appreciate any thoughts anyone may have on this matter. Thanks, Quadcab
