Yes he does. Super easy to understand and I like how he used common tools the common man has

Watched the video and ordered the part needed thanks!

I have owned my 870 express super mag going on 11 years and in the last year I've noticed a a problem with the shell lifter. For the first ten years you could load 2 3/4, 3, and 3 1/2 shells in it no problem. But last year I noticed that it was having trouble loading the 3 1/2's. I would have to finagle the shell a second and then it would shoot up into the magazine no problem. I was thinking maybe the magazine spring was binding for a second so I replaced it as well as the follower. I got it out today to inspect it since dove and duck/goose season is around the corner and decided I was gonna figure out what it was doing well I did. I grabbed my grandpas 870 and compared loading the 3 1/2 in both and my shell lifter goes in too far bottoming out on the bolt so the edge of the shell hits the lip of the mag tub in the receiver. That's why I was having to finagle the shell up and down to get it to go in. So sure enough I didn't depress the shell lifter all the way like I had been and it shot right in. So my question is can I just take out the lifter and bend it? Or should I contact Remington. This is not my primary shot gun for hunting but it's my back up in case my benelli goes down. This 870 has had prob 20k shells through it in the past 11 years so it's well broken in.
