I need an 870 part.

Since the closure of Remington, parts have started to dry up.
I have searched the web looking for an ejector spring and rivet for a 12 gauge 870.
Do you have a spare to sell me?

We might have a spare spring, but the rivets are made of unobtanium. We make ours from discarded buggered scope ring/base screws. Poor man's lathe with drill motor and file. You have to get the steps right as the rivet acts as a double rivet. The larger diameter to the ejector body and the small diameter to the ejector spring. You also need a special mandrel to set the large diameter portion that allows the small portion to slip inside it. I'll check tomorrow and let you know.

PS: If you haven't ground off the rivet that holds the spring on yet, be very careful and remove just enough to free it, then, countersink the spring and you can re-use the rivet.

Numrich schematic doesn't differentiate between standard and magnum, all the same?

I have one and it comes with two extra rivets and I think I may even have the riveting punch to go with it and don't need any of it
