Ok, let's get it working. Well I can tell you it isn't because of the shells being over lubricated or it getting too hot after 50 rounds. The truth is you used to be able to slap an 870 together, oil it up a little and then go shoot it. Oil it up a little every so often and do the same for years of heavy use.
When there are what???? Millions???? Examples out there that were made right, and one doesn't have to tinker with them to get or keep them running, I did the OP a favor in sending him in that direction.
The shotgun is new and doesn't work like it should. Take it back to the dealer and let them screw with something that doesn't and get yourself one that will. And the sure bet is an older used 870 that was made better from the start.
If you equate the truth to tough sh*t and the reason there is little activity here then I can't help the OP or the forum. But if it makes you feel good to diddle around and think you are helping either, have at it.
