870 problem or not ?

[Win/64]

Rifles, brother, rifles. Look inside.

I think the post was about 870 Shotgun's. Not Rifles. "Look inside".

Yes, like American cars, needs no improvement at all. And it's so funny they are losing money.

ummm...ya.....so.... the problem at hand is a SHOTGUN!!
edit.sorry win/64 ya beat me to it.

It's not the manufacturer, or the cheap guns being the problem, it's the cheap consumer.

Soon you'll be able to buy Norincos at the Dollar Store.

OK. You get me.

Remington was a great company. However they lost steam and just keep making the same guns.

Look at this Grizzly 870 thing, all it takes is to cut the barrel to 12.5 inch. Yet Remington just wouldn't do it. So CanAm takes the idea and place order. Next thing we know is Grizzly 870 sells like hot cake. Everybody want one.

Does Remington learn anything? I don't think so.

Should it be aloud that other Companies can copy Remington designs and sell cheap knock off's. What ever happened to "patents"?

Remington does make 14" and 12" 870s and they used to export them to Canada until the U.S. State Department and Department of Commerce started getting cranky about it. That's why a factory 14" 870P is a very desirable shotgun that commands a premium price on the used market.

One of the improvements on the Remington that the Chinese guns don't have is a flex tab in the carrier which helps prevent a specific jam that sometimes occurred with older 870s.

its a spring and a plastic follower inside a metal tube, if i replace those with a real 870 parts, would that fix it ? thats my questions, if all of them do it or is it mine or brand related ?

As OldRanger mentions above, this follower will definately help.

While you're at it, you can replace that crappy safety on the Griz as well with the one BBB offer on his site. I use a dome safety on my gun and prefer it to the flat oversized Wilson one. Rolls nicer under my finger and you can't miss using it.

If you want a Remington spring for your Griz, PM me your address and I'll send you one free of charge. Your call.

Could you imagine how sweet it would be to be able to buy guns at the dollar store?......ah.....heaven. Especially if there Norc 1911's

How do you remove the plug that retains the spring..do you have to turn it or just pop it out..? referring to a Griz by the way..

Using a large screw driver with flat head, push the plug in, then turn 90 degree.

In cold temperatures, degrease your firearms completely and just shoot them dry.

Patents expire, Kimber, Paraordinance etc. make 1911's without paying royalties to Colt. Jeez.

x2

a small ammount of Break Free CLP on the rail's and thats about it... put a jimmy hat on the end of the barrel an keep the action closed at all times to keep the snow an water out.

hit the bolt with CRC Brake-Kleen to remove all traces of lube as well or you will get a click instead of BOOOOM
