Stuck ejector

[BenBhoy 4,706]

Fellas,

Dusting shotgun off for its occasional glimpse of daylight, just checked with snap cap ones got jammed, ejector hasn't spat it out and now stuck. Suggestions? Need it working by Saturday !

Rod it out Ben.

Is the ejector loose in its mortimer?

[BenBhoy 4,706]

No it feels same on both. 

Had it out, cleaned and just done it again....!

Dirty or rusty chamber?

How is it with an empty Hull fired in that gun?

You looked at the spring

As Dave says is the spring cracked/ broken. Swap them over see if the fault " moves " Chambers. 

Inspect with a magnifying glass ,if so a trip to the local gun fettlers I'm afraid.

I’ve been told you don’t hit fec all anyway , so just use the bottom barrel

I told my missus, Stav has offered to lend me one of his arsenal, but I explained he's cack..left handed - her response "you might actually shoot better that way!" Pfft and I gave her babies!!

How do you know are you sure

I get told that most weeks ( sort your fencin sons out )

I’ve got a shotgun for those who shoot the wrong way round as well so you’ll be fine

you could always treat yourself or borrow one from the shop, if he’s a good bloke he’ll definitely lend you a second hand one if he thinks there’s a chance you’ll buy it

Was walking in the rain last  Saturday with my Mrs. We got soaked.

I said " I'm bosting for a pee".

She said " go in that Bush then".

I said " na, I'll get little Bernard wet".

She said " what, so it gets more rusty"!
