But there are some key selling features that Remington failed to mention, which deserve some recognition.Ī two-piece rotating bolt is used in the M887 which helps reduce size and weight but can take the same amount of punishment as the standard solid bolt on the 870. This boom stick’s main selling features include the ability to shoot 2 3/4, and 3½ 12 gauge shells and the ArmorLokt polymer molding that surrounds the entire shotgun to prevent rust and corrosion. It was designed for the extreme conditions that a shotgun goes through while hunting waterfowl and other large game. Other than the overall shape being similar to the 870 and both being 12 gauge pump actions, the M887 is a completely different shotgun. I was surprised to find out the M887 is nowhere near the 870! 870 based, eh? This sounded good to me so I went out and bought one for myself. Out of curiosity, I started doing a little research online and found Remington had originally stated that the M887 is “based off” of the legendary 870. This made me wonder if anyone had even heard of this boom stick before or if they just kept it in the “piece of crap” section of their mind next to the Ford Pinto.
A different brand, of course.When I asked fellow gun enthusiastic friends to name the first shotgun that came to mind, the majority responded with “Remington 870”. Not one mentioned the Remington M887 NitroMag. And not that this is your concern, but I've already paid for the dove hunt that I purchased this gun for, so now I've got to go buy another gun. Have it back in three weeks." Check it out, Winchester, YOU built it. All firearms checked before boxing? Winchester, HOW do you not notice a bent shotgun that doesn't load NOR eject shells? Called the hotline, "send it in and we'll check it out. Matter of fact, the deviation is 1/4 inch from the butt to the end of the barrel. Looking straight down the gun from the stock, there is a machined ridge down the top of the reciever. Completely disassembled the gun, inspect-clean-oil. I'm unsure if the shells themselves were hanging, or if it is the pump action itself, so I tried a different brand of ammo, same thing. NOW, 1 in every 4 to 5 shells jam after being fired resulting in a 200lb man setting the butt on a tailgate and pulling down on the pump with both hands to eject the spent shell. Reassembled the gun, almost solved the problem, with "only" 1 hang before entering chamber in approximately 10.
I found a small burr on what I can only describe as a small rectangular wear plate (lacking all the correct terminologies),on the inside top of the barrel extension. So, after hanging 12 new shells, and while the buddies are havin a great time shooting up all my skeet, I commence to disassembling this thing. At first every 2nd to 3rd shell would hang just before entering the chamber, then it went to every shell, and pulling the pump back to dislodge it is a joke in itself because as we all know, if there are any shells left in the tube, they all fall out also. First 10 shells (Winchester 2 3/4in 1 1/8oz shot) no problem. Tried it out on some clays along with someīuddies with their guns. Bought a brand new model 887 nitro mag 2 weeks ago.
