Default Rem 870

First Hello to everyone I am new here .

I have the 870 express 12 gage with the rifled cantilever barrel.
I purchased to make it my slug gun for deer and it is 5 years old or so.
My question has to do with the pump action or slide if your will. It seams to cycle shells just fine when loading or unloading when holding the little lever in by the trigger. Now when making a shot I do not grab the forearm , it pretty much rest in my hand. The kick from the shot will open the breach about a inch or so. Now when I pump it to eject the shell and load another it seams harder to pull forearm back then it should be. Just like it's having a hard time kicking the spent shell. It has the 3 inch chamber but I am not shooting the 3 inch loads. With this I ruled out oversize shell case.
Thinking it has to be in slide or kick pin or the shell extractor on the bolt. Any Ideas I would be Thankful for .
