Repro CSMC .410 Barrels

[Pat Dugan]

I shot about 3 boxes of .410 reloads
at wobble trap standing behind the house about 3 feet. It is choked as it came with the 28 inch barrels, IC and mod. The 28 ga repro
balances well at the targets. The only negative is that you really have to resize the cases for the shells to fit and eject. They don't jump out very far if at all. The strange thing is with the 28 ga barrels , the shells really eject well. Any suggestions as to why the .410 shells don't eject well.

Could the chamber be slightly undersized? It only takes a couple of thousandths to create the issue that you've described.

How do new shells eject after firing? If they eject fine, then a question to ask is what is the size of the resizing die on your reloader? It could be slightly oversized and also create the issue that you've described.

Has anyone tried using emery cloth wrapped on a brass brush to open the chambers a little with a drill.

I had the same issue with a Parker that had been fitted with a new ejector. The source of the problem turned out to be that the cut out for the shell in the ejector shoe was a few thousandths smaller than the chamber. When the fired shell expanded there was a minute ridge that would drag on the ejector shoe on the way by. I would eject, but shells would barely come out of the gun. I don't think it's an issue with the chamber size, shells will always fit tight after they have been fired, but if they drop into the chambers out of the box I would look somewhere else.

I will check this out

Thanks

As a Parker reproduction lover; I am tickled that you got the barrels and they work.
I have a bad case of Parker .410 envy now.
Hope your ejection problem is minor.
