I recently had the opportunity to work on a Remington 870 that was having some feeding problems. As I began dissasembly of the gun the magazine cap flew off as I unscrewed it. Along with the cap came the green magazine plug for hunting. Thankfully I still have both of my eyes! The customer was reporting cycling issues with the gun, and it became evident why.

I mentioned the other day that I was having a little difficulty because of a mistake I had made in modifying the gas port on a Remington 1100.  I had to replace the customer’s barrel with a factory new 21″ barrel that came with two choke tubes, a wrench and rifle sights. Yesterday I took it to the range for function testing and evaluation.  It was a great expereince.  It gobbled up every bit of ammo I threw in it and forcefully...
