I've been hunting in the rain 2 days solid. Didn't seem to bother my 2 yearold 870 at all. After each trip it gets a complete teardown & cleaning. Still looks brandnew. But when I went to load it in the woods this morning it just stuck about 1/2 way pumped. I thought I had reassembled something wrong & removed the barrel. It pumped great then. Looked at my forearm & it was swollen, rubbing on the barrel. I managed to get it loaded & used it as single shot today. I've got the forearm in a padded vice tonight, it's back in shape now. Have to wait for it to dry completely, see if it cracks I guess. If it does, I'll be looking at the synthetic pistol grip full stock (like the SBE Benelli) & synthetic forearm. Never had this happen before.
