Bought a Remington 870 for 15 minutes

When disassembling a Rem. 870, remember the trigger group comes out last. The feed or shell latches need restaking, any competent gunsmith can do this. Proper take down is to remove barrel, depress shell (feed) latches slide the forend forward and bolt and carrier will come out. Now drive out pins and remove the trigger group, reassemble in reverse order. If gun is priced right go back and get it, have him restake shell (feed) latches and knock off another $25 for your troubles. Hard to beat 870s.
