Remington 870 Express feeding issue with 00 buck – any fixes?

Post by Woulles »

I recently picked up a used Remington 870 Express and noticed that when I load 00 buck (both Federal and Winchester), the shell sometimes hangs up when feeding from the magazine tube. It doesn’t happen with birdshot. I've cleaned and lubed everything, replaced the mag spring, and it's still a bit inconsistent.
Has anyone experienced something similar? Would a new follower or polishing the chamber help in this case?
