I went skeet shooting this past weekend with my remington 870 and I was having trouble ejecting shells. In order to pump the shells out I was having to use ALOT of force. I now know that probably wasn't the best idea but at the time I was focused more on shooting and not worrying about what was going on. After about 100 shells I noticed my barrel was loose and was able to rotate 45 degrees either direction. I looked inside the action and saw where a pretty big chunk of metal was missing. I've never seen anything break like this and I have not used a gunsmith before. what do you all think?

I think you should visit a gunsmith and ask him/her.

Please don't tell me it's a wingmaster.

I would see a gunsmith or contact Remington

Send pics to remi

I'd like to see the barrel collar to the magazine tube on the other end. And the threads on the tube Ouch !

Sounds like more going on than just a loose mag end cap

Sounds like a strucural failure. I bet remington will make it right, and quickly, too, if you mention that you post a lot on gun forums. If they don't, and if it were me, I'd make sure that they lost 100x as much in potential customers as it would have cost them to fix it.

Just leave out the part where you shot 100 rounds even after it started acting up

it's a broken ejector, I talked to customer service at remington and they're sending a UPS truck to pick it up tomorrow. Apparently since the ejector is riveted in they're going to have to re-finish the action after they put the new one in so hopefully it doesn't get too expensive. Like a moron I never filled out the warranty card, I wont make that mistake again. The customer service rep also said that they'll fix whatever was causing the shells to lock up the action.

I'm not sure when exactly it broke so it wouldn't surprise me if I shot it broken. we were playing annie oakley and the last few shots the gun ejected the shell like nothing was wrong. :lol:

They can't see when the gun was registered to your name?

If you don't fill out the warranty card, the manufacturer has no registration of the gun associated with you.

If you are referring to the 4473 you fill out when you buy the gun--that's not a registration, and the manufacturer never sees it.

Hmmmm. When is too late!? Lol
