Hey guys, I'm looking to get an 870 Express in the relatively near future. I've been doing some looking around on the net at known issues and the only one I really have found is the issue of shells being stuck in the chamber after firing. Most have said it was because they were using cheaper shells (Wally-World stuff) and the brass was expanding into the machining grooves of the chamber. They typically suggest honing out the chamber with some steel wool wrapped around a bore brush, using gun oil as a lubricant. Attached to a drill, they claim it works quite well.
So, to get to the point, has anyone bought an 870 recently and had this issue? Would an issue that could be solved this quickly turn you away from a product without second thought?
I would like to use the shotgun for a variety of things such as duck, goose, small game, dove. Any input or opinions would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
i have an old 870 started using it last year my dad has taken alot of deer with it. i shot a doe with it last year i love it! never had any problems with it.
Yup, as soon as you cross the PA/Ohio border you're right around "home." Generally it's a nice area. Public hunting land is becoming less productive and land owners are pretty strict with handing out permission though.
So i have a 870 express 20 gauge and i've doing some research and saw an article on how to make my slug gun into a better deer rifle. Has anyone tried to put a new trigger kit into to make the pull easier?
Ive had this problem all so in my 870. It happens very rarely. The 870 is a good pump shotgun. It is alot better then a Mossberg 500. If i were u i would buy an 870 express mag
Black Hills makes some good 55 grain soft point ammo for the .223, very reliable, resoanably priced. From looking at the bullet I would guess they (the bullets) are designed by Hornady.Federal Premium has the the proven 60 grain Nosler Partition loaded in the .223, a very effective round. With the .223 round shot placement is paramount, but they are extremely lethal on deer size game. Enjoy!!
