this is a strange one. i was at the range today. my shotgun would not eject any round except for the last. it would spit out far enough for me to pull the rest of the way out with my hand. the last round ejects fine. unfired rounds eject fine. when i fire a round and rack the gun all the way back it seems like the extracter wont let go and the next round looks like its in contact with the ejected round. any help is appreciated . thanks
 
I suspect the problem is the ejector spring. The ejector on that gun has its own flat spring and if that spring breaks the result would be about what you describe.

I have fixed those ejectors by just replacing the spring. Gun Parts Corp. catalog shows the part, but indicates it may not be available. A good gunsmith should be able to fix the problem, but the gun is complicated to disassemble, so the charge may be fairly high.

I forgot to add that, IIRC, you can see the ejector if you retract the bolt. It fits into the left receiver wall and springs in and out as the bolt moves. You should be able to feel it and see if the spring is broken.
