Here's my strange story:
I had disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled my 870 express (it has a mag tube extension that makes the total capacity 7+1). After assembly, I attempted to load it and found that it would only accept 5 rounds in the tube instead of the usual 7. I took the extension off, pulled out the spring and follower, and made sure everything looked fine. I reassembled it again and the problem persisted. After two or three more reassemblies ( <- if that's even a word), it would finally accept all 7 rounds again.
Can anybody explain why this happened? This has happened again since then and I cannot think of anything that would cause this.
Thanks,
Smith
