Shotgun help please!!!

[deerkiller300wsm]

Hey guys. I have an old shotgun if by grandfathers that came from jc penny's. It's and auto 20 ga. Higgins I believe. Anyways, the extractor/ejector keeps breaking the rim off of shells. Any suggestions?

sounds like the shell is sticking in the chamber, id clean it really well & look for any burrs

take the barrel off and make sure there is no rust in the chamber. if you chamber a shell, will eject the loaded shell? or is it sticking just with the fired ones?

It will eject an unfired shell

This would be my bet.

I agree with a rough chamber being the problem. It might have rust pits or just be dirty. If you have a dremel tool or just a drill so that you can spin a rag covered with polishing compound in the chamber, it should smooth up the surface and not make it so hard to pull the fired shell out.

What ammo type is having the problem? I'm guessing something like Winchester Universal.
