Not an ejector DH extension.

Depending on the condition of the rest of the gun, I would saw off the dolls head, install an ejector stop screw through the bottom, fill in the void in the receiver, and go shooting. The stop screw modification is explained in recent posts, probably in the Reproduction subforum. Too bad about the damage.

If you still have the missing piece of Dolls Head could it be correctly welded back in place and the repaired area rust blued back to match? I'm just thinking with modern welding techniques a solid repair would be superior to the previous attempt. Just speculation, though it would be nice to have your shotgun put back together in it's original configuration.

I would contact Kirk Merrington, it appears as though the doll head extension had rusted internally.

I think the gun was assembled when the damage occurred. Damage to the receiver would indicate the gun being assembled. I believe foreign material became wedged between the left ejector and the retaining plate. Since the mechanic couldn't open the gun and find the problem, he/she decided to apply pressure to the left ejector since it refused to move and decide a ballpeen hammer and punch would do the job. Obviously they were able to remove the barrels after applying force. Enough force was applied to break off the screw head for the retaining plate and destroy the left side of the dollshead. The gun can be totally restored without replacing the dollshead but require an adequate supply of disposible income. Removing the retaining screw would have allowed them to remove the barrels.

Craig's description of the problem notwithstanding, I rest my case. Saw off the doll's head and install a stop screw.
