J.C. Higgins Model 20 12g (missing ejector?)

[RP-MA-978]

Hello.

My names Tony. Relatively new member. Actually as I type this I am going to pay my dues to become an official member!!

Hoping the people in the community can help me...

I broke down my J.C. Higgins model 20 12ga and it seems like it's missing the actual ejector? (Hence the reason why I am taking this gun down for the first time as it was gifted to me and was having feeding issues)

I'll link a video I found off of YouTube for reference as to what I seen this gentlemen removing from his gun which seems to be missing in mine.

Fast forward to 8:30

It sure does.

Is that screw sheared off? Looks it from your picture

Whats visible is the small set screw that enters from the exterior of the shotgun into the inside (seen in the picture)

This is it from the outside to maybe give you an idea.

That ejector screw whole should go all the way through. If not the screw sheared off.

That screw on the outside of yours looks an awful lot like the screw pulled out from the inside of the one in the vid @ about the 8:30 mark.
What I could see, it doesn't look like the one in the vid has that same screw on the outside. Are they mated and I couldn't see it?
I'm just guessing.
Is there a parts schematic you have access to?

Ahhhh I see now.....

So it looks like I'm missing 2 components??

Attached is you picture I'm using for reference. What's the arrow is pointing at is what?? That I know I'm missing...
And what is circled is what??

(Sorry, don't know all component names.. trying to get familiar!)

Cartridge stop maybe?

The circled feature is a circular pocket probably put there to allow chips to break free during the machining of the slot that intersects it. A manufacturing artifact that has nothing to do with the function of the gun... my guess.

The circle you have drawn does not have anything that goes there. It’s just a relief cut for the extractor. Your ejector screw is in back wards. You just need an ejector.

I just went to Numrich gun parts and looked up that gun. There is a very nice schematic and parts list. Check out Numrich Gun Parts find your parts.

Thank you both for your help! Much appreciated!

That's exactly what I was picking up from the photos.

Im not sure if all JC higgins model 20 share the same designs Sears was great at this.
High Standard was the common manufacture for alot of the JC higgins branded line. While close to some designs not always exact copy . When I look at the model 20 digram that pops up on GunPartsCorp it does not appear to have the receiver wall mounted ejector? Its through the left side “extractor”
There should be a model # like 101.34567
You can get some more detailed info with that.
I have a manufacture cross over chart somewhere, get that “catalog” number and I will look it up

The slot is the relief for extractor, the round pocket facilitates the cutting of the slot. You can't broach/key slot to a shoulder. You need somewhere for the chip to go and be cut free.

I have an old complete shotgun I'd sell you for parts. Let me know if you're interested

 

[RP-MA-978]

I'll be in touch. If I still need parts after waiting for this one to come in the mail, I'll hit you back. Appreciate it.
