Being new, the action will be a little tight. But this will fade with wear. As for the rounds not ejecting? Got me, all my 870s have never had a issue unless I short stroked it for some reason (showing the GF how fast one can go thru 7 rounds on a pump). When the FTE occured was the stock folded or unfolded? When folded I have seen issues that when the foreend is pulled back the grip contacts the wire frame and pushes it up into the path of the ejection port. But this only happened on my friends 870 express (due tot he longer foregrip), your police should have the shortened grip that comes even with the reciever when pulled back all the way. So I do not see that being a issue. Also try swithing ammo manufactures for a few boxes and see if the results are favorable. But I have never seen a picky 870/500/1300. |
| I also got a new 870 Police (in bright blue, believe or not!) and I also had one shell casing fail to fully eject out of about 30 shells. I think anything mechanical may need a little break in period, just like a car. I will say this, I also have a Remy 870 Special Purpose, which is part of the Wingmaster line, and the 870 Police is noticably smoother. |
YO LOOSEN the mag extension cap nut a bit. You probably overtightened it and it is causing the guns action to bind. Hand tight is fine no need to force it. I did the same exact thing and my gun's action slowed down and wasnt as smooth but when my friend told me to loosen the nut cap , the action smoothed out and your ejection problems are over.

need a break-in ? I think so. We had 20 Remington Police 870 shotguns at our academy. We traded them in for new ones after 20 years or so. The new ones were very rough. They were parkerized where our old ones were blued. It did take a few classes for them to smooth out. The good news was we were able to buy the old ones for $130 each
