So I picked up a junker M-94B (actually store branded Eastern Arms 101.1) 12 ga. single shot.
In looking at it, it doesn't appear too bad. The hammer spur is broken off and the thumb release was bent preventing operation. And someone had apparently tried to disassemble it and given up. Leaving the mainspring in wrong position. So I fixed what I could and have the receiver in seemingly operable condition. Replacement hammer on the way.
Problem is that the barrel will not close on the action. It will go almost closed, but not all the way. I'm thinking that the ejector is getting in the way. It is loose and will spin all way around. But doesn't come out. Also will not lock in closed position when depressed. Anyone ever experience this? Helpful hints? Parts ARE available reasonably cheap.
I know it's likely not worth the effort, but I like a project. Thanks.
