Remington 11-87 feed issues

[MI.264]

I have a Remington 11-87 12 Ga. Special I picked up.
It has feeding issues.
I can load shells in the tube.
Placing one in the chamber, then try to rack in another round, or even if i shoot it, it wants to load 2 shells.

This is not a low powder charge issue as I'm shooting 3" #4's
Anyone have this same issue, have a fix for it, knows what it might be?.
Thanks

I would start by googling feed latch issues. Pretty common on 1100/11-87.

I would suggest if you don't have first hand knowledge about this, to let those who do hopefully contribute some help.
After all, this is part of the forum we belong too.

Not trying to be a smart ***, I have plenty, and my experience tells me google can tell you faster and better than i can type. I gave you a very likely place to start looking, based on my experience and the limited information you provided. Google did not exist when i fixed my first pawn shop special 1100 with the numrich parts catalog (paper)as the only technical reference available. I respect the forum by doing as much of my own homework as i possibly can before bringing a question forward. My response may seem short and simple, but that's the beauty of experience. GLW your repair.

Good call. Very common indeed.

if you're really on a path to learn it then this is a much better option

Amazon.com

of it's kicking two rounds from the feed tube at a time I'd start by checking out the interceptor

Yes, i believe interceptor is the more correct term... thank you.

Yes check the he shell catch usually needs cleaning or something causing it to not spring back

Thanks
