I posted this in the gunsmith forum.. but thought I would post here also considering the gun discussed is a popular turkey gun.. see below.
I got my daughter an 870 youth (wood) this past Christmas. She shot a few turkey loads through it before the season and that's it. I went to put it up in the safe (turkey season) and noticed that you could engage the action (pump) when it was on safety and without pushing the release button by the trigger guard. If you wiggled the pump somewhat you could easily pull it down about 2 inches.. causing a jam. I took a rubber mallet and could hit it back into place but not sure about this. has anyone heard of this before? I own a few BPS's and they will not do this. anyone with knowledge of this think its a defect and should back to Remington?
