Winchester model 12 Ejector

[y2k]

Can a ejector that doesn`t eject 100% be filed on the edge to increase the hook/notch just forward of that hook or notch that contacts the shell? or can new ejectors be had for this old shotgun?
The part of ejector ( notch, hook, hump) that contacts shell for final expelling from receiver is worn, I thought if I file just in front of that notch to increase its depth and square it off like ones that are less worn.
Sorry but I don`t know how to word exactly what I mean.

First - are you having an ejection problem as in failure to eject?

If you are it is possibly an ejector problem, it can also be an extractor problem and it can be an ammunition problem...

Fail to eject

Clean both your right hand extractor and your left hand extractor disassemble them and clean the springs and ports the case has to be held tight against the bolt face for the ejector to function properly then possibly try and square up the face of the ejector

The ejector spring can be weak. I've had decent success with re-arcing the spring to increase tension. Just cold bend with your fingers, keep the arc, don't add a sharp bend. If it doesn't work then new replacement ejectors are available, not sure who has the replacement parts in Canada though.
