Browning B2000
My dad was having problems with his B2000 20 guage ejecting the spent shell and having to manually extract it. I figured it needed the gas piston cleaned, so I downloaded an owners manual and stripped it down, cleaned the piston parts, and put it back together. We tried it out over the weekend and it's still not right. It will kick the shell out, but stove-pipes the empty. I took the barrel off and checked the gas ports and they were clear, but haven't taken the piston down again, to check if I didn't get it back together correctly. Any ideas?

hello-are the b2000 20 gauge guns built on a smaller reciever or are they just a 12 gauge receiver with a 20 gauge barrel on them? 0 -
I had a B2000 in 12 ga. The ejected shell would sometimes get stuck
along the length of the ejection port. It only took 3" shells and
felt it would clear if I used rolled crimp shells, but not easy to come by.
These guns somehow need to use heavy loads, and 3" shells, but not sure what your 20 ga. requires. I remember that 12 ga. 2 3/4" magnums would not cycle correctly. I would try a heavier load.
hope this helps.0 -
If the shell was not hitting the frame before the shot gun started having the problem then then you have to look some where else for the problem. I would take a look a the extractor and ejector to see if these parts are worn or deformed.
