So I just picked up my new Rem 870 18.5" tactical today. This is my first shotgun and I was intending to use it as my home defense gun. Put two A-zoom (snap cap like shells, not real shells) to test it out. Racked the first two rounds fine. Reloaded with the fake shells again, attempted to rack a shell and the gun jams. Both shells unloaded into the receiver at the same time. *** BBQ?
Also, after a few more loads trying to get it to jam again, the fake shells are getting all burred up on the end of the cap (where the primer would be), leaving me to think that if I keep practicing with them I'm going to get aluminum metal shavings in the gun.
Anyone had either of these problems? Again this is my first shotty. I'm not sure if the guns have trouble racking when they are new.
