Tried out my new 11-87 yesterday, shooting 3" shells it didn't eject the fired hull and didn't feed a new one in, and kicked like a mule ! It was cleaned and oiled, I did notice that the O-ring gas seal is very loose on it, would that be the cause ?
He states, "Tried out my NEW 11-87 yesterday"
Now how could it be that the o-rings are worn out if the gun is new. Is the gun brand new or is it new to you? If it is brand new, I can hardly see the o-ring being worn out or the gas system plugged /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smiliesmack.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused1.gif
The gas o-ring may be defective or it could be the recently famous Remington quality control /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif I've heard more than one story from consumers of Remington products and thier poor quality of firearms on the market as of late.
Carefully check the o-ring for cuts or any visible damage, if it fits real loose or it has been torn or cut, then simply replace it and try it again. If the gun is new and the new o-ring does not cure the problem and send it back to Remington.
