So, we never know what we will find while cleaning a gun. Today we have a Remington M-870 on the bench, with the customer complaint that it has intermittent misfires. Now, of course we will check things like the firing pin, Firing pin spring, hammer spring and headspace among other things. But the gun also needed a good cleaning and look at what we pulled out of the hammer recess. It might be an old piece of scotch tape or perhaps even a piece of an old band aid. It is impossible to figure out what ever it was, but it is now out of the hammer recess and the entire trigger group is being cleaned with the rest of the gun. A complete detail disassembly and cleaning is always a good thing to do every once in a while.
