Boomstick Bruce Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 Like my old man used to say, "boy, you could **** up an anvil". This past Saturday while shooting a stage at WVCASS, I broke my SKB 100. During a stage, it wouldn't open all the way to dump the shells. After quite a bit of time trying to force it all the open, it finally opened enough to dump and reload. I fired it and then it wouldn't dump those shells either, same problem. I got to the ULT and found a broken half circular piece of what looks like a washer that was under the screw for the lug. Apparently this piece had broken in half and half of it was wedged between the forearm and frame of the shotgun not allowing it to open, the other half was still in the cavity around the screw. I removed that piece and the shotgun seems to work fine again but now the lug will slide back and forth about 1/8 of an inch with the barrel off. I shot two stages after that with no trouble. So just a minute ago I went on Numrichs looking for that washer piece and cant find it in their schematics. It l goes between the screw (#37) and the lug (#36). Any of you SKB experts know what this is and where to get one? Or do I even need it since the gun fires and extracts fine the way it is? https://www.gunpartscorp.com/gun-manufacturer/ithacaskb/shotguns-ithaca/100-3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Sam, SASS #34718L Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 #36 & #37 are the extractor kicker Lug and the screw that holds it in place.... There is no part that goes in between them. The lug should look like the one in the pic.... If that is whats broken then you should be able to get a new one from SKB.... here https://www.skbshotguns.com/parts-tools/japan/side-x-side/12-ga-parts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hawkeye Kid Posted August 29, 2022 Share Posted August 29, 2022 The screw that holds the kicker has an extremely narrow slot for the screwdriver. I replaced the slotted screw with a hex screw, made it easier to keep tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it possible the screw was replaced by one that was too long and shimmed with the washer? Maybe just need to replace the screw. Just a guess on my part!

What the other guys said..... The Kicker should be tight against the Receiver.... sounds like the screw got loose and buggered up is why it wont turn. You need to get the old screw out, clean up the threads in the receiver & install a new screw properly torqued down.... hex screw is a good idea. Should be good to go then.......
