When you get a jam like that......

Grab your forend and push it as far forward (away from the reciever) as you can then grasp the forend and barrel with one hand to clamp pressure and hold it.

With pressure still applied to forend

Reach around with the other hand and apply strong pressure to the shell carrier.

With pressure applied to carrier

Pull back on forend as far as you can( towards the reciever), and it will provide a gap in the shells like this...........tip the gun upside down and drop the loose shell thru the ejection port. Your done!
