Very Poor Ejection - VIDEO ADDED

When shooting I pump with some snap. Other guns (6 of them) throw the empties out 3 or 4 feet. On this one the empty either dribbles out or falls back into the action.

The purpose of the video is to show that the case is not hitting the ejector stud.

Well you did a terrible job showing that if that is the case. How can we see that in your video
My head hurts

Are the shotgun shells being held flat against the bolt face, or are they angled up from the bolt face (on the ejector stud side) as if the extractor hook is pinching them too tightly?

Take the bolt out, and hook a fired hull onto the bolt face held by the extractor only. What does it look like?

If I hook the empty onto the extractor, it lays flat.

However, if I chamber the empty and pull the action open very, very slowly, the empty pops up a bit as soon as the case clears the ejection port. This is why it does not hit the stud.

They have agreed to send me an ejector and a spring. This way I will learn something.

Hopefully I won't learn that I should have accepted their offer.

I know from experience that if this does not work, call them and they will look after you! Good company.
 
To those who keep reminding me to pump fast - I know.

I have personally fired more than 1 million rounds from a pump 12 ga. Part of my job at CIL was testing new ammo designs in various makes of shotguns. We shot a pallet of ammo through each. The technique was to shoot from the hip, with one guy shooting and another dropping a new round into the port on each stroke. I estimate a round ever 2 or 3 seconds - all day long, for a couple of weeks.

A 12 ga has some recoil, so the technique was to throw the gun forward and pull the trigger. The recoil would stop the gun. I would not feel any recoil. Don't challenge me to a shoot from the hip competition. We would aim at empties on the range floor.

If I pump this Canuck gun real, real hard, the empty will dribble out, most of the time.

It has an extractor problem and I will figure it out, once I have a spare part in hand.
