Does anyone have a closeup illustration of exactly how the ejector goes back in and in what order? The manual doesn't work

Thanks much

I have a couple schematics for the 1300, and a copy of the military manual, which is a lot more detailed. The 1300 is essentially the same as the 1200, so the schematic should be fairly accurate. I'll attach a copy of one of my schematics, but let me know if you need more information.

If you're talking about the actual ejector, it's really simple to put in. The tension of the ejector spring just holds it in place. Getting the ejector spring compressed enough to get the large pin through the bolt might be challenging the first time, but there's nothing on this shotgun that's impossible to put back together. Let me know if you need a hand. :)

That one illustration may get it done for me. If not I'll holler at you.
Appreciate it!:)

When you hold the stripped frame upside down,

there will be a small pin sticking out of the inner side acrosed from the ejection port, almost all the way at the back of the frame, just forward of the part of the frame the butstock touches.

This pin is what holds the ejector in place when the barrel is off the frame! there should also be a small hole in the frame for the tension spring.

I don't know how old your 1200 is,

there are I don't like to think how many revissions of the ejector, at one time I had ten ejectors, and they where all a little diferrent for the revissions, on early models there was no coil tension spring.

Also when installing the barrel, make sure the ejector end goes into it nook, between the barrel extention and barrel, if it gets into the chamber and the bolt is forced when closing it will ruined!l
