Ithaca NID extractor issue.

I had this issue with a early year 16 gauge NID with the cocking indicators. I had to pull a shell out once in the duck slough with my leather man. Only happened once to me but I have since sold the gun off.

The extractor design is not nearly as stout as the Parkers.....

it's happened twice now, also noted that there is a bit more play in the extractor on the NID. Not really sure there is much I can do about it, as buying a new one isn't really an option.

Joe,

I've shot my NID's more than any other gun, but I've never had that happen.

I've had it happen with my Parker 16 gauge underlifter, but it had good reason, some paper shells that had took on a small amount of moisture, it was not the guns fault.
Like you I had to remove the extractor before being able to remove the stuck shell, luckily I was hunting pheasant within walking distance of my house.

Your NID must have had a ton of shells put through it or someone was fooling with it that shouldn't have been, snap a picture of the extractor if you don't mind, wouldn't mind seeing it.
