i have a 3.5 in 870 and it is great with all short rounds.... 2 3/4 and 3 in.
however,
when i shoot 3.5 inchers somehow the action opens up about 70% after the shot. the remaining 30% of stroke to make it fully open is not enough to eject the spent shell, causing my gun to jam.
im not sure what the deal is. i think it is my fault and not the gun. anybody have any suggestions as to what i'm doing wrong? i've never had a problem like this before.
i tried pulling the trigger empty and holding pressure back on the pump handle. the gun does not open up, that is why i dont think its the gun.
