870 express loose trigger assembly

[Gun Lover]

... Its maybe a millimeter of wiggle left to right looks to be just the way it was built, but for under $400 I dont expect perfection...

I don't think expecting to get a properly working new gun is asking for perfection. Mine is a 3.5" version with plastic trigger guard. It is over 5 years old, has a few rounds through it and the trigger guard has no play at all.

I'd say, bring it back and have them correct the problem. I don't care how cheap you paid for it, it is still supposed to be assembled and work properly.

870 trigger

I've had several Rem. 870's

As previously mentioned by another these are not swiss watches

My trigger assembly is not "loose" on my Express but the trigger does have some slight side to side play
Overall it's steady and crisp and has never afected the firearms ability ot fire

Compare it with others if you can
