I think all he needs to do is push carrier down and push the shell stop in and slide should go forward. I think it's a horse a piece between the 870 and Md 12. Both very reliable.

I have to agree 870 are easy to tear down and easy to go back. Give me a fish, I will eat for a day. Teach me to fish, I will eat for a lifetime

Good to hear you got it fixed, and connected with a bird. "in the midst of a savage wilderness to depend entirely upon their unassisted strength and hardihood"
