I'm buying another 870 this week. the only problem with it, is the "clicker" in the magazine tube cap is broke or missing. when you screw it on, it doesn't click and lock the barrel on, it will loosen back up. do I just need to buy a new magazine cap? hopefully somebody understands what I'm asking. lol

Yep, can just get the REM. cap or an aftermarket brand.--might be $20 or so.

 

[jun1or]

thanks. I figured it was a quick fix, just wanted to be sure. wasn't positive if it was the cap that clicked, or something on the forend.

Is the ball missing out of the barrel? If that is not in there then the cap won't do you any good.

 

[jun1or]

what ball are you referring too? I'm gonna have to compare it with my other one when I get it and see if there's anything noticable. if its a barrel problem than I will be fine, I have 3 other barrels.

Sorry about that I was thiking the Remington's had the little detent ball like is on a rachet wrench. It has been a while since I tore a Remington down.

 

[jun1or]

when I get it, I'm gonna try my cap from my other 870 and see if it works. that will tell me if its the cap or not. if that doesn't fix it, a little duct tape sure will. lol
