Check the extractor pin that latches onto the rim of the shell to pull it out. I just was diagnosing mine and found the tip of it broke right off. It should be a fairly long little arm with a hook on the end attached to the action of the gun.

What type of gun that does not eject shell casings?

Many types. First, muzzle loaders do not use cartridge casings. Only autoloading firearms automatically eject a fired casing. Revolvers, and lever action, bolt action, and pump action firearms require a specific action by the shooter to eject a fired casing, as do single shot and double barreled shotguns.

How do you get khan centurion shotgun to eject shells properly?

The Turkish Khan Centurion Shotgun is not designed to eject fired shells, but only extract them. The Turks are a thrifty people and many reload their own shotsells. I have lived among the Turks and gone hunting with them, in particular Wild Boar hunting. The Turkish country people hunt the Wild Boar with their own reloads of buckshot, because the Turkish Government frowns on the sale of buckshot shells or rifle cartridges. The people melt down bird shot and cast buckshot, which they reload. They would not think of eating a pig, ( domuz in Turkish ) but hunt them because of crop damage. A shotgun which ejects and throws the fired hulls all over the place is considered undesirable by the Turks. --- Joe Boyd ---


Why would a shotgun not eject the fired shell?

Mary Ann, I assume the shotgun you are refering to is a of the semi-auto flavor. If so your problem could be anything from just needing a good cleanig, to a pitted chamber or ammo that is to low powered. You could try detail stripping the gun for a serious cleaning or if this is beyond your skill level I would recommend taking it to a good gunsmith or armorer. Dave Mike, it is possible that you have a broken or missing extractor. Dave Mary Ann - Check the yellow pages for a gunsmith. He can tell you what parts you need and get them. I have the same problem with my Remington 870 lefty. Although, my shells wouldn't eject when the gun was brand new and out of the box. When my barrel was machined at the factory, grooves were left in the first inch of the chamber. When the shell was fired the brass casing would expand and grab onto these grooves. I would tug so hard on the pump handle to eject the fired shell that ejector pin would rip the rim off of it. An entire afternoon with 220 grit sand paper will fix the problem.
