    I'll try to be as clear as possible here, bear with me.
    I have a field grade LC Smith, hammerless 12g. I use and clean it often. After a day afield I broke the gun down as usual for a good cleaning after reassembly, the gun would bind up and not break open cleanly. could it be
    related to the ejectors, there a 2 levers at the forend of the gun that seem to be stuck, also, for lack of more knowlegde, the cam that sits under the barrells also seems to get "stuck" in the re-assemble position, I can "roll" it forward with finger pressure and assemble the weapon however it locks up or binds again when attempting to break open the gun. This is a new problem, I have used this gun almost exclusively all bird season with no issues at all. It seems like it should be a easy fix,
