I did get a call back on Friday morning. They are sending a new carrier for me to install. I got the I plan to take the shotgun out to the range tomorrow to see if it shoots to point of aim and functions. If the new carrier solves the problem, I will keep it and put this behind me. If not, I will have to decide if I want to spend the money to get a gunsmith to reshape it so that the shotgun can be reloaded. Will update when this is resolved.

Took the shotgun to the range yesterday. At 50 yards, it shot a 3 inch group (5 shots) with slugs but the group was 6 inches to the left of point of aim. Question for you shotgunners out there. What is considered acceptable for point of aim/point of impact? There is a front/rear sight (very small rear sight, adjustable for widage by using a punch and hammer). I did the calculations and I would have to move the sight 0.058 inches. If I do that, the sight will no longer be fully engaged in the groove (0.040 hanging out on each side now, ie. perfectly centered in the groove). Is there anyone that can straighten a barrel to get the point of impact in line with the point of aim? BTW, vertical is perfect at 50 yards. I am trying to decide if I throw in the towel with Remington, get my money back and move on to a Benilli or continue on with this. Also, the trigger is 0.010" loose in the receiver. My old 870's are a snug fit. Is this the new "acceptable"?
