I have a Remington 870 WingMaster Super magnum. After I changed the stock to synthetic it jams after every few shots. When I pump one in shoot eject the first one ejects fine but when I pump another one in shoot it doesn't eject fine. Have to take off the entire barrel or use excessive force to take out the shell. It does it every few rounds. I think I might of bent something. I don't know what. I changed the left shell latch cause I knew that one was bent. Other than that I don't know what to do. Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks.
Mike's the expert here but if it were me I'd put it back in the original stock. If the problem continued then I screwed something up. If not, then something is up with the new stock.
You say the shell sticks so hard you have to use force to get it out.
What is holding it in?
Look in and see what is blocking the shell from coming out.
Are you having to force it by the shell stop?
Take off the forearm wood and see if it does it. the stock should have nothing to do with feeding shells.
I say there is something going on with the shell latch.
That is what releases the shells and if that is not right it will cause what is happening.

This is a picture of the ejector what I need to see is the shell latches at the front of the receiver ware they meet the barrel and the back of the magazine tube. I would like to see the ejector again with the bolt open. Something does not look right it could be me but....
Slide the bolt back and take a few pictures of what I asked for.
Thanks

I hate to be a PIA but can you take out the follower and take another picture?
It looks like it could be in wrong but I need to see how it is sitting against the mag. tube and the receiver and the follower is blocking what I need to see.
It looks like the little tab on the end is not in between the mag. tube and receiver. And not forward enough.
Thanks

At this point I want you to call me at my shop because I will need you to do some things and typing it would take all day.
I will PM you with my number.
I think this will be the easiest way to get this solved.

It seems it was more of a extraction problem then a feeding problem.
After seeing the pictures I knew there was more to it then what was being said or should I say how it was being said.
He has a problem with extracting 3 1/2 shells from the chamber after being fired but not when they are live.
So to check if it is his extractor I am having him shoot 2 3/4 (his gun can shoot 2 3/4, 3 and 3 1/2.) and see how it works then go to 3" and try 3 1/2 .
I think he needs a new extractor or at lest reshaped.
He lives on a reservation in Alaska and is a very nice man he was telling me how they hunt Polar bears and other animals that I only think about.
Can you imagine dropping a polar bear. If you miss you better know how to run and shoot at the same time.
TFF is a amazing place that you can talk to all kind of people all over the US and have a opportunity to learn about ALL kinds of things.

I will try shoot 2 3/4 later when the weather gets good its been bad for a week now or so. trying to upload picture of extractor now internet is slow on my island. thank you goofy your a really good nice guy.
Yep your extractor needs to be replaced.
You can try to reshape it first.
Give me a call and I will tell you how to do it.
But it does look like it is rounded off and reshaping may not work but it might be worth a try.
Mike
Just got off the phone and it was a good talk...
He is going to try to reface the extractor and if it does not work (not much left to reface) he will order a new one.
It was 3 am ware he is but on the island he only gets good internet at night.
This was a good one.
Not only did I help him out but I NEVER have talked to anyone ware he is.
He is a nice man who is part of the "Original" Americans.
COOL!!!!!
