1187 problems

I was shooting some skeet with a friend of mine. I was using my 870 and he was shootin his 1187.

Well around station 4, the gun ejected its catridge and then closed and became impossible to pull back. We stopped disassembled it and giggle something and it became ok.

We continued and it was fine till station 7 where it ejected the hull and locked back open but the action refused to close when you pressed that button on the underside.

Well we again disassembled it and messed around in the mag tube and the action came down and his finger. We finished the round using my good old 870 :)

Anyone know what is wrong? BTW, this gun around 10 yrs old and has had little to no problems all that time.
 
No 11-87 expert here but the first step would be dissassembly and cleaning. Sounds like something's gritted up and impeding movement.

HTH...
 
'Lo bamf ,

The next time that occurs , check the empty case. I've had a
round , or two , belch out a primer that caused a similar lock-up .

Rare , but when you're chasing gremlins , you can never be sure .
