In 1985 I bought myself a rem 870 Mag as a graduation present and to replace my heirloom savage pump. The 870 has soldiered on for over 25 years, but in recent years started exhibiting "failure to feed up" problems. Often this was after shooting a spring gobbler, and I dismissed the problem as awkward position and shooter error in the excitement of the moment. But in a recent outlaw 3 gun match, both the boy and I had trouble with the old gun not bring ammo up crisply to the chamber mouth.
A new carrier dog spring helped, but did not entirely resolve the problem. A new carrier assembly, courtesy Midway, did. Runs like it was new. I would not have thought that you cold wear this part out, the gun has always been well maintained, but clearly that was the problem..l
