If you're talking about the J C Higgins Model 20 pump, look up the disassembly & reassembly videos on YouTube by Ryeonham. You may see something there that helps.
Didn't realize I didn't say bolt action. Ooops..still having trouble feeding..i took everything/lifter out. Was simple,Except I left the empty tube because it fastens to the barrel to keep it from wobbling.can I radius the entry/exit port so I can feed it shells easier..im assu.ing I can..

Those were not the most reliable shotguns made. The lifter is very flimsy, for want of a better word. I have seen several that had the lifter removed and a piece of hardwood fitted in its place to make a single shot feed ramp.
It's just a back door varment gun..alwys fires.i yanked all the lifter out,drove out a pin.and added the box back that snaps in with a double shimmed piece of Pepsi can.to block the hole.shells slide right in..heck I can load it bout as fast as the lifter..thanks..
