The Mdl. 12 ejection port is not long enough for the star crimps, and they inevitably hang up in the port during ejection.

So...Round file??? Dremel tool??? Hammer & chisel???

OK, enough humor... What's your workaround for the ejection problem??? My Ithaca was made in 1949; but with bottom-ejection, and no port, I don't anticipate any problems...
