Known 1187 flaw. Had the same thing happen and a good chance it will happen to any 1187 that is shot a lot. A good Smith can fix it or send it back to Remington. Then buy a Beretta or Benelli.
Addition: Shotgun forum Rules: Mentioning the great SuperX Model 1 and Remington 1187 in the same sentence is grounds for a possible 1 month banishment.
Sorry "Battue" ... I should have known better yet needed to mention the much beloved "Super-X Model 1" to make my point.
