Title: Mod 12 shotgun problem
Post by: mazama on August 18, 2013, 01:33:23 PM: My friend said his son put a shell in backwards and it is jammed,is there an easy way to get it out,he does not want to break anything so next plan is to take to gunsmith.

Agree with this approach. Or use a plasic pipe so as to only push on the rim of the shell...

or give it to a gun smith who will do the same thing and charge you $50.
