i traded a friend of mine an 870 for it, he had got it and never

shot it just stuck it in the safe.

to answer the question that was asked, yes the extractor star turns
out of place when you eject the shells.
there is a little scar on the ejector rod, i believe someone had taken it
apart without putting any shells in the cylinder and broke the key off

when i took it apart i did not find any pieces in the assembly so
i assume when they broke it, all they did was put it back together
and sell it to my buddy.

i know he didn't lie to me as we have been friends for nearly 10 yrs
and offered to take it back.

the cylinder is 130.00 bucks from numrich.
i guess i might go that way.

one of my shooting buddy's here told me he had seen only one
other broke keyway in 40yrs of shooting.

and suggested we could just solder the extractor star down on the
pins and polish the cylinder bores.

i think he's nuts but i really don't have the extra bucks to fix the
thing.

if anone body runs across one give me a heads up please.

thanks wayne
