He has a plain jane 870 express magnum he traded a winchester 1300 to his brother for.
If there is a round in the chamber the gun will not fire (pull trigger, nothing happens at all. No click, nothing, no marks on the primer).
If there is no round in the chamber it seems to operate just fine and will dry fire.
He claims he sees what the problem is and some sandpaper will solve it, but is too complicated to describe over the phone. I'm going shooting with him tomorrow and would like to have some ideas what the problem might be, or to be ready to slap him and tell him to take it to a gunsmith before he ruins his gun trying to amateur gunsmith it.
Thanks for any advice!
