Rem 870 Extractor 'Jamming'

bump. pls help

>>28375022

Problem is obvious. Should've bought an Ithaca or Mossberg.

how worn is the barrel does the notch look all sorts of peened cant really tell cause of the flash

i had an 870 like that and my fix was filing the notch in the barrel more so it wouldnt get stuck the gun seemed to function fine after that but i never felt like i fixed it the proper way cause the brass would get marked up eventually i just replaced the barrel which brought the gun back to working correctly

Barrel might be slightly dinged up and I kind of did anticipate having to take a file to it. No big deal if that's the fix.

I'm selling it and need to fix this shit without mangling the gun.

i dont think its the proper fix cause i didnt see anyone on the internet recommending it most people were saying replace the barrel or send it in but i bought the gun used and cheap so i didnt really give a shit as long as it worked
it functioned but well try it at your own risk

on mine there was a fairly large burr in the barrel slot i just removed it with a file
you could tell the barrel wasnt properly supporting the brass afterwards cause the brass would try to expand into the enlarged notch but it stopped jamming and didnt explode
then when i got around to the replacement barrel it went back to normal

Here's a pic of the barrel. Looks a bit worn and slightly dinged but certainly no fucking big enough to cause the Extractor to not go up the ramp.

I still think the spring is pushing the extractor too far inwards.

the extractor might be out of spec id replace it and the spring pushing it before fucking with the barrel just cause fuck with the cheapest parts first

The spring should not be able to do that. Try replacing the extractor or bolt as needed.

Its probably the extractor, and the extractor hitting the ramp on the barrel probably left the dimple I circled.
Disassemble the extractor, clean, lube, put it back together. Try not to launch the spring/plunger.

The little dimple I on the ramp here was probably not the cause of your problem, but once the extractor moves easily it may not slide home properly if it catches so I'd recommend lightly filing it down so it doesn't beat it up any more.

that looks damaged and i can tell you how it happened. the gun was not tightened properly maybe like a quarter turn loose or something. not enough to stop it from functioning but enoughplay that the extractor could go in the barrel
then the gun was cycled and fired repeatedly
the extractor is stronger than the thin edge of the barrel and the barrel starts to peen eventuality its so damaged the edge broke off than the extractor will always go into the barrel
if the barrel was installed properly the extractor never hits the thin edge so theres no damage to the barrel

Thanks for the advice brahs. I gave everything a good cleaning and coat of Ballistol and lightly filed down the extractor and extractor ramp and used some oiled sandpaper to sand out the ding.

Should be better now if not just clean, lubed and looking good again.

looks like you bought an 870 "express"

you need to replace the extractor (as well as a few other parts) to make the gun not be a piece of shit
