HELP w/ my Remington 11-87

goldeneagle76

I have not used my rifled slug barrel in years. I took off my turkey barrel, put the slug barrel on and the action will not close all the way. My manual that came with the barrel is put away from when we moved and I cannot get to it right now. I vaguely remember removing a part (possibly the piston seal) when using the rifled slug barrel but I don;t remember. Can someone help? I need to get it sighted in for the next deer season here. Thanks!

Does the barrel fit flush with the reciever??

goldeneagle76

the barrel fits flush with the receiver b/c the action is open when assebling. once I try to close the action, the piston/seal is not allowing the action to close.

I'd put the turkey barrel back on and see if the problem persists and go from there. Maybe Remington or another web site has the barrel removal/install steps you could view.

turkey barrel goes back on just fine. I remember having to do something to put the slug barrel on I just don;t remember what. the Remington site had nothing on this...I searched other places too.

You have to change position of 2 parts of the piston seal.Swap their positions.
