I have an 870 tactical. I had put about 20 rounds through it and then the action bar lock stuck. I couldn't cycle another round. Has this happened to anyone else? If so, what did you do to fix it? Thanks for the replies in advance!

Tough since I can't see it or touch it over the internet. I would push out the pins and drop the trigger group and see if I could determine what is going on. If it is not 100% fully in battery - slide forward - I have seen this happen with new guns sometimes.

Welcome to the Remington Owners Forum 5150 !!

Was the gun brand new...!?

Did you lube it prior to the 20 rounds and jam...!?

Is it loaded now...!?

Be careful handling it !!

...and place a call to Remington Customer Service for help at: 800-243-9700

...or take it to a competent gunsmith.

Ain't that the truth! I phoned and asked a local gunsmith about a fairly straight foreward job, along with the price. Douchebag wouldn't even give me an estimate on time. He said he doesn't answer any questions, unless I drop off the rifle in his shop, THEN he'd call me about the work when he got to my rifle.
