Winchester 1200 help

[CatScat55]

My Grandfather was given a winchester 1200 from a family member that passed. When he got the gun it was given to him in parts that came to him in a bag.He had no idea what to do with it so it was passed to me. After putting the gun back together I test fired it, and when I racked the pump to eject the spent shockgun shell, the shell failed to eject and just fell in the chamber making impossible to feed another round. I took the gun apart again and inspected it and saw i was missing the ejector pin. I went online and found the part i need but in the description it says the part will need to be fitted? How hard is this to do? Should i just take it to a gunsmith?

Probably just need to file or stone it little by little.
Use hand tool, not power tools and you should be fine.

If you are sure that is the problem, then install it, it may work. If not, be more than happy to break mine down and help you anyway I can. Love 1200's.

I have no idea if thats the problem. I can count on one hand how many times I have touched a winchester shotgun.I have always been a 870 fan. I will order the part tomorrow and give it a go. I am going to search some youtube videos and hopefully find out how it goes in. I will probably be messaging you in the near future. Thank you

Typically "fitting" of smaller parts means it's made oversized or has a flare to remove so it fits your specific gun.

You shouldn't have a problem if you go slow and take your time.

Is this a normal strike on a primer or a sign of high pressure?

It's a sign that your 12 gauge is a .357 Sig.





lol. just kidding, those look pretty normal for a Glock

 

[CatScat55]

Lol i didn't want to make a whole new thread for a question. Thank you i thought it might almost be a pierced primer.

Those appear to have been fired by s Glock. They look normal for a Glock.

 

[CatScat55]

Yep. Fired from my glock 23 with a kkm 357.sig barrel

 

[CatScat55]

What cause the glock to do that? I have not seen that before?

A Glock firing pin is more like a chisel instead of a center punch.

 

[CatScat55]

Ahhh thank you sir, learn something new every day

The cause is the shape of the firing pin!

Hey, did you get that crittercat in your avatar? If so, what's the story?!

 

[CatScat55]

Yes I did. That was a bad day for me. My first day ever hunting over on this side of the state. I was hunting on a hill side just sitting and watching. I heard a log fall and roll behind me and when i looked this cat was about 10 ft behind me looking down at me. She knew i saw her and she jumped down right next to me. I hip fired with my 7mm and hit her in the side. I couldnt work the bolt on my gun because of my adrenaline so I pulled my glock and emptied it. She went down under 15 yrds from me. I only hit her with 3 rnds.

 

[KKG]

I'd say that it was one of the best days of your life. You won a gun fight with a Cat. That doesn't happen just every day. CONGRATS.

 

[CatScat55]

That was the begining and end of my deer season. I lost all hope for the .40 short and weak after that. One of my .40 rounds hit her in the shoulder and the other in the hip and not one punched through. Thats why its a 357 sig now. I will be getting a 10mm shortly

I think you should get a special members award for such a diverse thread.
Generally when I see a thread change direction in three different directions, it's by other members taking it for a sharp left turn, but you managed to start with Gramps shotgun problem, then later on a Glock firing pin issue came up and now it's come around to your explanation of your avatar pic.
I'm not being sarcastic, as I was looking up on the net this evening on how to repair your Winchester 1200, I sat down for dinner and come back to a Glock problem, then I helped my wife with the dishes and come back to read about your escapade with a mountain lion.
Can't wait till tomorrow to see were this goes.

 

[CatScat55]

Lol im done I promise.
