So, here is the back story –

On July 26th my 870 took a . The front piece of the ejector broke off.
This particular 870 has close to 8000rds through it. (Yes, 32 cases or 320 boxes)

I had a match the 28th, so I franticly called every single gunsmith within 50 miles.
Not a single one would touch my 870.

Called Remington, they were less helpfull than dell.

I made a few phone calls and arranged to borrow a buddies mossberg.
Shot the match, placed in the middle of the pack. (i’m usualy in the top quarter)

I pretty much threw it on the back burner for a month or so.
Untill one monday I was off, and had nothing to do.
I started playing in the garage as I often do, and saw my 870 in the corner.
Drilled the old rivets out in about 15min.

(how do I resize the pic?)

At this point I’m thinking “ok, I can probably do this myself”

On Aug 20th I ordered the parts and tools to un- my beloved 870.

tools – Brownells stock # 080-612-001WB

Parts – numrich (gunpartscorp.com) part numbers

998540 – ejector
95140B – ejector rivet – front
74930C – ejector rivet – rear
95190B – ejector spring

The tools arrived the 23rd and the parts on the 25th.
The total for everything shipped was under $85 + spray paint.

It took me 10min to do my 870 and a buddies.

Test fired both the next day, not a hitch. (sorry forgot the camera at home)

All in all, I’m happy with the results and i’m proud that I was able to do it on my own.
