O.K. Picked up a new 870 M.M. and it is my first remington 12GA.
Now I load the tube up w/ 6 rds and try to load one into the chamber but the slide will not move unless I depress the silver lever on the left side,just front of trigger assembly.
My last 12GA was a mossy cruiser and do not remember having to do anything to chamber a rd ?
It does have this odd lock system on the safety button,it is unlocked...and what the hell is this thing anyways,my buddy turned it and it locked everything up and of course mine did not come w/ the green key to unlock it.....:banghead:
So after a trip to joe's sporting goods to unlock it and I asked the guy at the firearms counter and he says I have to depress that silver lever to chamber a round .....o.k. well when I do this the shell drops into the carrier but it will not lift up to chamber it.......
This is a new piece,never fired,bought from a LEO friend who got it new assembled it for a demo for his squad and I got it.
I am waiting for the seller to get back to me but figured I would ask all you wise ones here ....
