My buddy has what I think is an 870 ...yes forgive my ignorance.
He wanted to load shells in the magazine and cannot. There seems to be a piece that blocks the entrance of the tubular magazine and there is no way a shell will go in there.
I looked at an online manual and it describes racking the fore-end back, opening the action, combat loading it, then loading the tubular magazine.
Am I to understand that one cannot load an 870 magazine on a dropped hammer?
Thanks!
