I bought an 870 express 18" synthetic with the extended tube. I grew up dove hunting with 870s and have a fondness and familiarity with the action. Unfortunately, this gun's action seems a little rough. More specifically, when I load a shell from the magazine by pulling back on the foreend, the shell drops in from the tube just fine. When I push forward on the pump, the shell is pushed forward like it should but there is a minor "hang up" right as it begins to go forward. It requires more effort than normal in that one spot. A visual inspection hasn't turned up anything.
Any thoughts on smoothing out this rough spot? Do I need a drop of lube somewhere I'm not thinking of?
Any feedback would be much appreciated.
