I recently got this shotgun....
http://www.remington.com/products/firearms/shotguns/model_870/model_870_SPS_Max_Gobbler.asp
and today I fired its first round and subsequently found the trigger/trigger guard on the gun jammed into the pistol grip portion of the stock.
Basically the gun moved about a 1/2" into the stock where it got stuck. I tapped the pistol grip firmly and it popped back out. I fired another round with the same result. I realized at this point that the gun was not functioning correctly and I should stop firing for safety purposes.
The stock has recoil reducing springs and I imagine that there is supposed to be some rearward travel of the gun into the stock, right?
Could it be that its just not "broken in" and needs to be fired more?
Has anyone else had this issue, and if so, how did you resolve it?
I'd prefer to not take the gun back to the dealer or send it to Remington. Any suggestions are welcome.
:banghead:
thanks
