.45 Glock Automatic Pistol, made by a company that didn't want to acknowledge Glock? That would explain why the .45 ACP sticks out so much.

No, just that I think this can be avoided either with a harder plastic follower, such as the one that the 870 comes with, or a steel one. There was visible plastic shearing on the follower where you could see that it got caught on something (presumably a gap in the extension-to-mag connection)...

And I say that over, and over, and over, and over again. So what's the problem?

Seriously, this isn't worth bickering about. Unless someone can suggest a title I think is more apt, it remains the same. All things I've said before: My 870 had a FTF today. The problem was an aftermarket follower and possibly me not tightening the extension enough Pay extra attention to...

I suppose I should have taken it to a gunsmith or something to get the follower popped out of the follower retainer, yeah. :rolleyes: I never said the magazine is at fault, I said 90-95% of jams and failures, in my experience and reading, were due to something in the magazine. The follower is...

I think the 870 Express is a well-worthwhile buy. I own three different levels of pump-action shotguns at the moment: a Mossberg Maverick Model 88, a Remington 870 Express and a Remington 870 Police. All are great weapons for different people. The Maverick is pretty reliable, complicated (but...

You made me grin right there, Virginian. :D

Wait, you don't consider the follower to be "on my 870"? It sure was installed, wasn't it? I don't think there's any need to be so hung up with the thread title. Huh? How would pulling the trigger group out have helped? It was stuck in the follower stop, not the receiver. Ah, I don't think I...

I've certainly considered reverting to the original configuration. However, aside from a small complication in field-stripping (the extension sproings out when you twist it off because it's not compatible with the spring retainer), I think it's a bonus rather than a detriment. I just think it...

OK, calm down and carefully read the title: "Major Failure with 870 Police" It was a Major Failure. And I experienced it with the (modified) 870 Police. Not that I didn't title it "Major Failure of 870 Police". I didn't blame the failure on the Police, in fact, I explicitly state in my post...

I am curious to know how you get that. I originally thought I short-stroked, but that ended up not being the case. I mean, you're suggesting that there's something I can do to prevent this in the future, and if there is an operator error I can avoid, I'd love to hear it! This would be no good...

I was out shooting birdshot out of my 870 today for practice when the gun had a major failure to feed. For some background, the weapon is a Remington 870 Police Magnum 18" I bought NIB about 250 rounds ago (1 month-ish) and then installed a Wilson Combat +2 extension along with the "improved"...

Do you have those pictures any larger?

Maybe just a mirror. Seems a little weird. Y'know, I had a plan to stay off THR 'till this thing got resolved. O' course, you and I were talking. 'N fact, here, I am gonna get off permanently.

Yep, it's pretty much what I was thinking of.

Is that what it is? I am transitioning. It's just awful slow.

Silly me. It can still be compensated for in the new upper receiver. Bigger bolt. It's gonna need it anyway.

It is where I started. Overall, I think my design is better. It can still use the big bullets without mags, just like his. Not to mention he's only getting 2100 fps with 155s. I'd be willing to be I could get at least 2300...

His cartridge is close, but I've still got 2mm of case and higher pressure on him. I am pretty sure I can compensate for the increased bolt thrust (which won't be any more than 7.62 NATO, anyway, which is what we're competing against) with recoil buffer systems, and I imagine I could even fit...
