Pump shotgun that eject's shell itself when fired?

Bodi
I have a Stoeger P-350 that I just purchased at Auction that when fired, unless you are firmly holding the forearm forward,will slide back and eject the spent shell.This gun was so filthy it would not cycle when I first got it.After a thorough disassembly and bath in Hoppe's #9 and a light coat of rem oil it is at least firing and cycling.Is this gun just shot out or is there a mechanical fix? Thank's for your input,I need some educated advice.BKF... +

    Yeah...not good. Most pump guns have an interuptor that needs a slight forward pressure on the forearm to relase the lock (normally recoil is plenty to cause this)and after firing will appear to be coming back on the tube, but for it to completely eject the shell and pull the forearm from your fingers? I suspect someone abused that one pretty badly and managed to screw up the lockwork on the bolt. I would have it looked at. As a side note I got my Dad a P-350 home defense gun and after 500+ rounds it still works like a charm, so I'really assume it's been heated and beated!

    I had a mossberg 12ga back in the early 70's that did that but it was just a worn out shotgun

    That is not really a problem. Most pumps will loosen up with age on ejects. As long as you have a grip on the forarm you can control it.

    Actually all the mossberg's I ever shot with slugs will send the slide back on its own. The only thing holding it forward is the hammer reset. So if recoil is heavy enough it will come back all on it's own. The interupter drops when the hammer goes forward. Not having a good cheek weld was more of a problem then the forearm moving.

    I have also seen silimar resuts from a Winchester 1300.

    Some pumps such as the winchester 1300 and its clones {Ted Williams} use the recoil of the shot to start the reloading cycling. They were sold as the fastest pump gun made.

    Thank's every one for the helpful input.I saw no remarks that it is unsafe,so I will be using it this coming turkey season,and babun odd you should mention the Ted William's model 200-I have one [in 12 guage] that is doing the same thing,but I didn't want to confuse the post with too many question's.More odd is they came from the same seller in the same box.Thought there might be a piece that I could replace if it was neccasary,but if it's safe I'll just be racking another shell in record time :)

    This is not unusual for a well used pumpgun.

    Gough Thomas, the British shotgun writer, once hung weights on the foreend of an Ithaca 37 until he got a balance that would kick the gun clear open and eject the empty.

    I've got a 1300 that does it.
