Googling "remington 870 jams" pretty much yield stuff about parts failing after several thousand rounds are run through them, or user error. In the case of home defense, neither of these should be an issue.

pulled trigger, gun goes bang, pull back on forearm, forearm is stuck forward.
ultimately I took to clearing these malfunctions by holding just the forearm and slamming the butt of the gun on the ground, that usually forced it open.
its rough cut chambers. and don't blame it on ammo either, it did it sporatically with cheap ass trap loads or the really expensive Hevi-Shot. All were new ammo, not old corroded stuff.
95% of the problems on other boards with the remingtons are because of that rough chamber.
it's an easy enough to fix, but it really pissed me off when it happened as I was shooting at geese, so I decided that gun was out for home defense work.
and rattling guns are good, rattling means reliable and just because it rattles doesnt mean its not accurate.
