Thread: Rem 870 ghost ring replacement sight for the rifle sights?

Since the sights are on the barrel, tight isn't really going to affect much anyway. Sounds like a bad barrel to me. In fact I don't know what else it could be.

I'd advice passing on it. If your dead set on it line it with felt or something to protect your firearm.

The old style two piece pistons are not on the parts lists but are available from Remington, the piston components for the 12g 1100 are Remington parts #15384 and #15385 . My newer 1100 Classic Trap came with the newer style, it now "wears" the old style. I happened to decide to do a complete...

01lariat you are right. But i always try to be civil about things(ethical and professional). Not anymore, you want to know the truth. I am suffering from Stockholm syndrome from Remington. I will pour out my guts. Here it goes. To HELL with the 887 and Remington, besides the 870 and their cheap ammo i won't be buying any more crap from them. My dad since the beginning didn't like it but you see it was a gift(graduation present) for...

The forend cap could be bottoming out before it actually tightens against the forend wood. I have had two do that. The barrel will move slightly as well if that is the problem. The magazine tube was not in far enough! I would suspect the forend support most though.

Recoil spring and Bronze ring assembly. Like remroc said, they usually function modern loads on the "heavy" setting. Set it there and try it. Better than beating that old horse to death with it set light.

Briley manufactured the extended tubes for the Remington 1100 Sporting line.

I don't know what it is like shooting a water hose, never tried it. But the recoil on the m887 is a smooth shot on a 3.5 loads.

Sometimes you have to push out the sides of the recoil pad so the slot the screws are in open up and you can see where they are.
