My issue was with a Remington 870 express home defense, purchased 12/09. New out of the box, cleaned and oiled prior to firing. Round 7 and round 25 would not eject spent shell. Then Remington 887, brand new, purchased from a person that won it at Ducks Unlimited raffle. Clean and oil, very first round fired, pulled the forearm rearward to eject spent shell. Could not get the forearm to move forward. Remington ended up mailing me a new bolt, port cover and trigger assembly. I fired about 20 rounds through the it after replacing the parts Remington sent to me. I plan to use this as my turkey gun. So maybe quality has slipped a bit at Remington.
