I've seen this happen but don't know how. The other thing that could be happening is the ejector spring itself is getting caught on the bolt somehow and getting bent. If you know anything about 870's, the tip of the ejector, which serves to keep the barrel from twisting (for lack of a better term) is prone to breakage if the mag tube end cap is not tight and the shooter twists the action bars as they cycle the action. He is referring to either the ejector or ejector spring.

I know one guy that used oiled 0000 steel wool wrapped around a long drill bit to polish an 870 Express chamber. I only buy used Remington Police Magnums or Wingmasters these days. I'd never buy an Express when you can find a used Wingmaster or Police Magnum for under $300 if you look around just a little.

It goes on sale for around $80 a case during bird season, and I grab a few cases then. I switched over to the Winchester AA loads for classes. Polishing the chamber helps a great deal, as well as not shooting crappy ammo. That frequently leads to extraction woes. People tend to shoot crappy ammo in a rough chamber, and never clean it. I have done that multiple times, after investing in a set of the proper hones, oil and a low-speed cordless drill.
