I have a Remington 870 I bought used aboout a year ago.
It has only one problem that I can see - the spring (or whatever) that holds the bolt in place allows it to drop back maybe a quarter of an inch (maybe not quite that much) if the gun is not cocked. This caused me some problems with reloading during a 3-Gun match - if the bolt was not all the way forward, the loading gate would not go up far enough and the shell being fed into the magazine would bind.
My question is, what do I need to do to fix this? I took the gun apart, but it was not obvious to me what part was failing to do its job.
Thanks for your assistance.
