MM Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 when i bought my shotgun a few weeks ago, the guy in the shop told me the ejectors didnt work, and that it would cost more than the guns worth to fix them. I asked Magman to have a look at the gun in the shop before i bought it, and he mentioned that the barrels hadnt even been cleaned, so i was unsure even if the guy had looked inside the action. Ive been sat cleaning the gun to the best of my shotgun knowlege (not a lot) and after closing and breaking a few times, the ejectors seemed to work on the odd occasion. Is there any way of telling if they are just full of muck on the inside, or do you think they are knackered. Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyb Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 You should be able to remove the ejectors, by pressing them down and turning them "out" of the action From here.. it's just a good clean or maybe a spring required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George1990 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Could try soaking the block in some cleaning stuff over night. White spirit or summit likt that. Get all the gunk out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MM Posted February 2, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 will this not damage the blueing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George1990 Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 Did consider that, but not sure it would. Can't say I've tried on barells but I'm sure someone here has Just don't blame if you end up with shiny silver barrels :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 it might be best to leave them, if they're worn and sloppy then there's a good chance that the cartridges will jam in the chamber if the ejectors slip past the lip of the cartridge. I had a miroku 3800 that did this, it would've cost me a fortune to replace the ejector legs. can you disengage the ejector legs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beretta Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 hard to tell without actually seeing it mm./ best to get it to a local gunsmith. cant see it being a major job to sort out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddy Galore! Posted February 2, 2010 Report Share Posted February 2, 2010 i'm not sure either, i THINK it's something in the forend that regulates ejector timing, a gun smith will know for sure. if the spares are readily available then it's not a massive job, but if they're not then a smithy will have to make them from a blank.
