Not cycling smooth anymore……

Post by nmesparrow »

Hello just got my first 870. I have shot and cleaned it and the action was smooth like butter. I took it apart again today to replace the furniture now when I cycle it it is nowhere near as smooth as it used to be. What did I do wrong? What should I start looking at and are there any YouTube videos you suggest? Thank you.

Sometimes it happens when forend is rotated on forend tube and it touches the barrel when you pull it.

Make sure the action bars are fitted correctly and make sure the action bar tube is perfectly round. Let us know how you make out!
