870 pump sticks when against the receiver

[Reezy702]

Subject speaks for itself, the Pump is sticking against the receiver. I have taken it apart and done a really good clean and lubed it run, sat there and ran the pump a good couple hundred times and its super smooth but sticks when its pumped against the receiver. Action arms look fine, bolt and carrier look fine. I have shot little 300 shells through it. I did change the forend to a hogue on it do not know if that could be whats causing the sticking. Any help would be amazing thanks.

Reezy702, do you have sidesaddle on your 870? Sometimes people overtighten the screws of sidesaddle which makes action stiff.

[Reezy702]

no side saddle installed.

The hogue forend is pretty tacky rubber. It could very likely be rubbing the receiver. Pump it several times and take it off. Cut away any rubber that shows wear from rubbing.

thats what i was thinking, I was about to put the old forend back on and see if its any better. thanks for the suggestion.

Well took it apart checked forearm saw some wear marks, took the dremel to it. Felt a lot better after that, Running nice and smooth can work the action with two fingers. Thanks for the suggestions.
