took my new 870 exp apart for cleaning easily. but reassembly has been impossible so far (2 hours). the bolt carrier is hanging up on something that it just wont get past enough to finally fall into place. the forend slides without the bolt and carrier will allow it to go all the way back in but once I put the bolt and bolt carrier on the slides to slide it all back in, the carrier keeps hanging on something. PLEASE HELP!!!!!

I know of the piece you have to depress on the lower inside right of the reciever because I got it apart in the first place very easily. this same piece is depressed to get it apart. this seems to not be the problem

you guys are discribing the SAME spring I had to depress to get it apart. this is not the problem. I know about that flat spring.

There is a flat detent spring inside the receiver that needs to be depressed to slide the rails and bolt assembly back into the receiver. It is on the inside edge about 3/8" up from the lift gate opening., on the right side of the receiver below the ejection port.......
If you post a phone number I would be happy to call and talk you thru it!

Just for the record, I presently own 20 Remington 870 shotguns in everything from 410 to 12 gauge super mag. I used to own more, but I sold a few that I really didn't need. In all my years of own 20+ model 870 shotguns, I only fully disassembled 2 of them...ever. And the only reason I did that was because I bought them used and they appeared to have a lot of powder grit and grime in the trigger groups. Without looking at your shotgun, it's hard to really tell what you did wrong. One of the "problems" that happens to 870 owners is that when the barrel is removed and the trigger has been pulled, the hammer is resting forward on the rear portion of the bolt. With the barrel removed, the bolt tends to slide forward than it normally would, and then the hammer "slips" to a position slightly under the bolt. This causes the gun to jam and will not allow the bolt to go back properly. To remedy this, you have to east the bolt forward...then try holding it still with your fingers...you tip the gun so that hammer can swing back into proper position - behind the bolt. Remington ships their guns with a cardboard sleeve in front of the forearm (behind the end cap) so that the bolt will not slip forward as I mentioned above. The above is just my best guess at what might be wrong with your shotgun. Again, without handling it, it's hard to know for certain.

I took my gun apart and reassembled it once, so I will tell you what I am doing and maybe it will help you.
First with the pump and bolt out of the gun, take the reciever and hold it with the mag tube pointing up and the top of the reciever facing away from you. Holding it between your knees helps. With you hands assembly the pump and bolt assembly together. The little plate with a retangular raise section will face upward and has notches that allow it to fit only one way then place the bolt so the face of it is towards the pump handle. While carefully holding this assembly slide the pump over the mag tube and align the rails and bolt in the reciever. The bolt will slide in about 1/3 of the way and catch on the first spring. While the top of the reciever is away from you, reach in through the loading port past the elevator and press the first flat spring on the left. It will advance a little and catch on a second spring on the right, next push this one in a little, be careful not to push the elevator in too far or it will stop the bolt from traveling rearward. Mine also locked the action closed, in this case you will need to push the little lever on the trigger guard to move the pump fully rearward to check function. If it works fine, move the pump to the halfway position and install the barrel and cap on the mag tube, it should be ready to go.

Check to see if there is anything at the back of the action frame in the way or has fallen out of it's hole or notch. Sometimes the fingers that lift the shell up will get in the way or can even be put in upside down or on the wrong side. I am not all that familiar with 870's as they hardly ever come into my shop for repairs.

There are TWO latches you have to depress in sequence. One on the right and one on the left. After you get the action bars going by depressing the TWO latches in order, you depress the slide release on the trigger guard and it will go right in where it's supposed to.

I have one, and JD is right. If you just can't get your fingers in there to do it, take it to a gunsmith. They see situations like yours regularly.
