Ruger Red Label Ejectors
I need help on my ruger 12 ga o/u. bought it new 32 yrs. ago.recently the top barrel will not eject the shell and I have to run a rod down the tube to get it out. I have cleaned the chamber,have takened the ejector off and cleaned it.I ordered new ejector springs from midway have not recevied then yet. called ruger they said they do not carry parts for the 410 series o/u. Has anyone had this problem with there gun.How did you fix it.If the new springs don't fix it I guest I'll take It to the gunsmith.Thanks for any help.

Hard to tell from here. Could be your ammo, especially if reloads weren't sized at the base/rim. Springs can take a set - although modern steel from the 30's on does a good job at resisting failure. Could be burr or a bent rod or guide. Worn sear not releasing the ejector.

I tried different shells reloads and new they both stick.I haven't shot this gun for a long time it's been in the safe just started shooting recently with it and that's when it started acting up.I wonder if being in the safe for a long time has someingto do with the electors not workingb 0 -
Is there any rust in the chamber area? 0 -
+ one on the chambers dirty or rust I would get a MOP type cleaning brush
and some JB bore Cleaner then use the jb on the brush and go in and out on the Chamber area of the barrel JB will polish the chamber without any damage you want chamber to be slick and like a MIRROR0 -
I used fine steel wool wrapped around a brush on a drill to polish the chamber . 0 -
When you open the gun now w/o shells in it do the ejectors pop up and click????? Also, to be sure the chamber area is good put 2 shells in it and tip it upside down. If they fall out then you should be good there. 0
