12.5 Grizzly Shotgun Ejection Issue

Who's complaining? They asked me a question and I answered it. The most I said was that I was disappointed. Who wouldn't be? If there was a disclaimer that I might be purchasing a piece of #### out of the box then maybe I wouldn't have bought it. It's made in China and inexpensive so maybe it could be expected to not last as long or not work as well but to not function properly right out of the box is pretty disappointing.

You're complaining. I wouldn't be disappointed, but I tend to have realistic expectations of things as well. It's not a piece of #### either. Spend half a minute polishing out the chamber and you've got a gun that will last at least as long as an 870. They're built like tanks, but they are just a bit rough around the edges. That's a pretty darn good deal, 30 seconds of your valuable time vs what it would cost to get a genuine Remington version of that exact gun. Suck it up, do what everybody is telling you to do, and enjoy what could easily end up being the most reliable gun you ever buy.

FYI, if you had spent 5 minutes using the search function on CGN before you bought, you would know all you could ever want to know about Norcs and their fiddliness. Then you could have gone and spent $800 on the exact same gun instead, that doesn't need a couple minutes worth of glorified cleaning.

There are not too many Norks that don't need some work out of the box to function well. This forum is pretty good on telling you what to expect, and how to fix the majority of issues. They are the cheapest option out there, and still an OK deal (for the most part) when you factor in the bit of work they may require. Mine was a bit sticky as well, and it needed to be cycled with authority to get it to feed and eject reliably. I just wrapped some 0000 steel wool around a 12g brass brush and spun it in the chamber with a drill. No more problems, and really didn't take much of my time or money to get sorted out ;)
It's a Nork....Chinese QC is non-existent.

Yes it's true. They are still a pretty good deal. I wasn't expecting that it would jam and had no idea at the time how to remedy the issue. Had I known, it would have been less disappointing. I'm glad there is an easy solution and one it's working properly I'm sure I'll be happy with it.
 
With your added info, it is definitely not an extractor clearance issue as was the case in the one I had. Yes, polish the chamber and try it with brass shells and not the cheap shiny chrome looking ones. They tend not to contract enough in tight chambers after firing compared to the brass ones. Have fun.
