Hello Guys;
This is my first post.
I have achieved the distinction of passing my 79th birthday having only fired a scattergun on one occasion. In 1949 a friend had a 410 double pistol and we shot skeet with it. I posted a perfect record: 0 for 40. I'm not unfamiliar with firearms, I have a Kansas CCP and half a dozen pistols and a couple of rifles and spent nearly 9 years in the army. I was pretty good with a 280mm M65.
Anyhow; I fell heir to a Mossberg 500 that some yahoo had tried to "convert" into a homemade tactical. It was pretty much a basket case but I managed to find the missing parts and restore it to working condition but............The shells will extract but not eject. Online advise was it needed a new ejector but that didn't solve the problem.
I have looked at everything I can think of and what I think is the extractors are reversed. The hook on the left extractor looks sharper than the one on the right. Are the extractors supposed to be different and if so which goes where?
'preciate any help I can get.
