Can you explain how your's jammed?
Yes, shoddy workmanship. Wouldn't allow the new shell to slide smoothly into the chamber. Too many sharp, unfinished edges. Then, the fired shell would stick in the chamber. Had to disassemble the gun in the field several times to remove the shell.

So you leave it sitting around wet for an extended period of time. Seems the lesson he learned is how hard it is to fix something you procrastinated on in the first place.
Thanks, your sarcastic insight is insightful.
I already said I didn't have time to get to it right away. I usually clean things up "If needed" right away. I'm glad yours is the epitome of reliability and workmanship. Congratulations!

You might have a defective gun, because even though an 870 express is not as "finished" as a wingmaster, every one i have ever owned has functioned flawlessly and never had problems anything close to this. My son has 2 of the youth models as well and they have functioned well except for the recoil...

This is very common with the 870s under the "new" remington ownership. They are not fully smoothing the forcing cone down and the shells are catching. This is something that can be easily fixed with a Dremel, but some people don't tolerate manufacturing defects in new firearms.
That said, all of my 870s run like a top, but they are pre-Cerebus

I know man, sometimes life is tough, unforgiving, unyielding, often unfair. Many times after coming in from hunting, I just didn't have an extra 20 seconds in the next several days to rub my old oily rag on the metal of my gun. And besides, Remy ain't werf a shite, anyway. You'll knock their pecker in the dirt by not buying another one.

No problem bub. As you can tell from the rest of the responses, we think it dumb you didn't get to it sooner. You crow about teaching him how to take care of things, yet you neglected to properly complete the hunt process. Telling me you had time to wipe and blow it of, yet not spray wd or gun oil on it and wipe is insane! We are talking 5 seconds. No need to disassemble each time.
