I'm setting up an 1887 Norinco as a slug gun
firing the 730 gr Dixie slug @ ~ 1250 fps.
It will be equipped with a screw-in rifled
choke tube and iron sights. Everything has
been going OK except that it won't eject for
sour owl poop. If I'm not getting hit in the
face, it'll stovepipe, with the empty crushed
btween the breech face and the breechblock,
This during an attempt at a fast string.

The CAS guys have been using this piece to
good effect; I've seen a number of videos
showing them firing this gun very fast, indeed.
While watching carefully, I see no evidence of
lousy ejection.

Coyote Cap sets up 1887's for the CAP shooters
and may know more about this action than anyone,
but I was told that they are so busy that they
are not answering their phone or e-mails, and
so I thought I'd ask about this here on the
chance that someone may know something about this.

Got any tips?

This action is, shall we say, "different".

Thanks
