I was able to shoot 4 rounds of skeet today

Getting low 20's now (3rd time out).

But at the beginning of my 4th game I had a failure to eject.

I have a Beretta 3901

The shell was only half way out of the receiver. Kind of looked like this but it was in the receiver not on that little rail (which I dont have) http://www.multicatch.com/index.html

Now I am thinking that is because it is a gas system and it is starting to get gummed up (but I was hoping that I could get more than 4 games before cleaning).

Currently how I clean it is take out the barrel, and bolt.
Put a little oil where the bolt slides and clean out the barrel.

Is there something I am missing. I am not thinking the trigger group would really need much if any cleaning.
