Yes, the proper staking of the shell latches is critical in an 870 for proper feeding. I had an older 70's one that sometime wouldnt allow a shell to leave the tube when the pump was back. Had to have a smith tweak and re-stake the shell catch to correct.

I also had a 90's Express do something similar, I cured that one by adjusting the shell catch. Never had a BPS do this, but suppose it could happen.
