I picked up a Remington 870 Express Magnum used (barely) the other day. The slide release is inoperative....meaning the slide (pump) will not lock in the forward position. Even tried it with a shell in the chamber and it'll still extract the shell without pushing the button. There is spring tension on the button, as should be, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Took it all apart and nothing is missing or out of place. Very strange. It would make it difficult to shoot with if the forward hand is pulling the shotgun snug to your shoulder and the slide keeps coming back. I thought I'd check here before I take it to a 'smith.
Any ideas?
