How to Disable a Remington 3200 Ejector

The Remington 3200, an over-under two-barreled shotgun, incorporates a spring-loaded automatic ejector that will launch the two spent 12-gauge casings backward and out of the barrels tubes with significant force upon opening the barrel assembly. This is often a function that some people wish to disable, and can be done relatively easily, allowing you to manually remove spent casings from the barrels by hand. To disable the ejector, the barrel must be separated from the shotgun stock.

      Push the barrel opening lever to the right to allow you to open the shotgun, then open the action and rotate the barrel downward as far as it will go. Slide the barrel assembly rearward toward the action to release the barrel from the pivot pin.

      Locate the ejector sear on the left- and right-hand sides of the barrel assembly. Remove the sear by sliding it downward, out of the ejector assembly. Removing the sear will disable the ejector mechanism.
