How to fix a Remington 870 that fails to extract?
I have an 870 Express that occasionally (1%-2%) fails to extract a fired shell.
The slide doesn't get stuck, instead the extractor never seems to grab the rim of the case. I'll rack the slide back and see the shell stuck in the chamber still. I generally dig it out with a car key, but of course for self defense this isn't ideal ("Hey buddy, can you wait a minute?").
Racking the slide back forward (when the shotgun is unloaded of course, or it would jam) will not cause the extractor to grab the shell, even if I jam it forward with great force.
What causes this failure, and how is it prevented?
Cleaning is a good recommendation, but I just finished cleaning that shotgun meticulously.
I broke down the whole thing and paid special attention to the bolt and the extractor with a toothbrush and CLP.
Didn't seem to make much difference.
I have been shooting the Federal bulk ammo from WalMart.
What shells are you using? More economically priced shells, like Federal Top Gun or Remington Gun Club, have rims that are made of cheaper and thinner metal that often times will expand too much when fired and will not extract/eject properly.
See if you have the same problem with better quality shells such as Remington STS or Winchester AA. Also try cleaning you action.
Since you said you just cleaned your action, I bet it's the cheaper shells, especially since you say it only happens about 1-2% of the time.. You can't get around that. Every once in a while there will be one you have to dig out by hand. I've never had much trouble getting them out though. It only takes a couple seconds. Not enough time to hold up the trap squad. I can't really afford to shoot the more expensive shells anyways so I don't mind the occasional stuck shell.
ShotgunWorld.com has the best forum for shotguns with plenty of information. I've seen this topic come up several times there and it's usually because of the shell.
