pdice Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 First guess is weak magazine spring. Have you messed with the carrier to install a easy loader or anything like that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GentlemanJim Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 A short stroke that does not lock the bolt ...will cause the same thing. Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you messed with the carrier to install a easy loader or anything like that? no mods to the original loader. could be the spring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Does your 11-87 have the dimples in the end of the factory tube like other Remington models do? I had an issue with my 1100 not feeding just right and I found that after I went back in w/ the dremel and really cleaned up those dimples to make the tube smooth inside that it started working the way I wanted. Not sure it's your issue but it's something simple to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lynn jones Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 the spring is not the problem. how do i fix the interceptor latch? thanks for the help. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Verify that short-strokin' isn't the culprit first. clean the gas system, replace o-ring and lube. If that doesn't fix it, then it is probably interceptor latch. You just have to stake in a new one. I have had it done, but don't know how to do it myself. BTW, I use a spring length that leaves at least 14"+ of open spring before compression. This prevents spring related jams 100% of the time. Beven Gram's springs are the total shiznit here :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wide45 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Can you cycle it manually? If you pull the bolt back, and it tries to feed all the rounds out of the tube at once, the intercepter latch is hosed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took his 11-87 JP gun to another friend he is a very good smith JOJO’s gun works http://www.jojosgunworks.com/photos.html I am not sure what he did, but it worked. You can tell him Vladimir told you to contact them. Ask for Jody or John. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lynn jones Posted February 1, 2009 Author Share Posted February 1, 2009 i'm sure it's the interceptor latch. just got to get around to getting it fixed. lynn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triggerbender Posted February 1, 2009 Share Posted February 1, 2009 Not sure if this is what you have? I had this issue with my 1100 and the wear on the shell lifter was not anywhere as severe as SB's. A little cleanup with a file and all was good for me. http://www.brianenos.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=65813 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
