I have a 1978 Remington 870 Wingmaster 2.75". It's served me well. However, I've found when I slowly rack the pump, the shell won't eject. It just stays in the receiver. It only does it when I deliberately (although once it wasn't deliberate) rack it slowly. I have newer 870's (that aren't as reliable as the 1978, but for other reasons) that don't care how slow you rack it, it'll eject. Is something wrong with the 1978?
It has an 18" barrel and I've kept it by my bed for home defense for years.
Should I continue to trust it? What if I'm injured or Murphy causes me to rack it slowly?
