You can see that the rib extension is lifted from the barrels. The solder had previously failed. And there is evidence of corrosion. It looks to me like it has been a victim of some shoddy repairs that have stacked up over time and led to the current issue.
On these, the retaining screw does nothing to actually hold the plate against ejector forces. It is just there to keep the plate in place in the dovetail. The actual dovetail is what holds it in . This is a failure of the extension material itself. Apart from the 28g repros. This is a pretty uncommon thing. “Simple” Replacement of the whole rib extension is something that is easier said that done.

We don't know if Jim owns the gun, when the damage occurred, how its been stored since the damage, were the fore end and receiver pictures are, how many times the gun has changed hands since the damage, is there an eye witness when the damage occurred, and where is the retaining plate. Brians comments are plausible but I cannot believe an ejector spring can shear off a retaining screw and the dovetailed retaining plate.

I would agree with that Craig. It is unlikely.

Get out that machinist's saw and a sanding block and make it look pretty again. Use ebony or horn to make the void in the receiver pretty again.

A year in a Failure Analysis lab aside, I would say that the dolls head cracked well before it finally let go. The rust in the fracture indicates the early failure and the clean, albeit crystalline surface is the continuation of the original crack.
Replace the entire rib extension, or take what you have to a micro welder, build the entire end up with weld metal, and machine the dolls head out of the welded portion. Not an insurmountable job off the gun. |

Well I have heard it all.By the thickness of the barrels the gun is most likely a 28 bore, a gun with the valve in the 5 k range +/-. A half ass method of repair will effect it's resale value/looks . WE are forgetting one important fact---Parker / Remington retained Conn. Shotgun Mfg Co. to make 28 bore A grade guns a few years ago, I have personally seen draws full of Parker parts that Tony has in his Co.
If my assumption is correct,it being a 28, a doll's head extension ,screw,plate', ears on ejectors restored, & properly cleaned-oiled, & repaired----the gun will maintain it's looks & value. That is my solution to the problem. Allan |
