I was at a flea market looking around the other day and saw an older guy (probably in his late 70s) selling some shotguns. One was a bolt action 20 gauge Mossberg with a C-Lect choke for $150, the other was a Savage Arms Model 944 .410 single shot break open action for $135. I talked him down to $124 (dont ask why an odd number) and took it home. Bought a box of .410 Remington shells for $6!!! I wouldn't have thought .410 shells would have been so expensive. It was $6 for 20 at Wal*Mart, so I know the local gun store would've been even more.
Anyways, shoot about 5-6 shells through before it gets too dark to safely shoot. Gun fires perfectly, patterns pretty good for an old .410 single shot, and overall it was a fun quick shoot. Only problem I'm having is that it's not ejecting the shells. I cleaned it twice already, lubed it, and it still won't eject them. Break it open fast enough and the shell will come 1/2 way out, but that's hard to do. It doesn't really bother me as I can just pluck the shell out, but I'm just wondering how hard of a fix this is. The extractor DOES move in and out when you push on it, just with a lot of force.
I appreciate any responses.
