I recently acquired an older Remington 870 from my brother-in-law, he told me that there was an issue, but I thought I would take a look at it anyway. Everything works great, except that the shells will not stay in the magazine tube. I have read a lot of posts about poor loading techniques, not the case, that is the first thing I checked... The shells seem to stay were they are supposed to if the action bars are not there, but once it is all put together, they come out of the tube as soon as the first shell is chambered, if not before. Anyone ever had this happen? why would it do this? How can it be fixed? Thanks for your help!
