Sounds like your ejector is worn and not 'grabbing' the base of the shell securely. I would suggest having it examined by a qualified gunsmith and have them effect repairs.
Gun Parts Corporation sells them for $20.30.
Would need to know exactly how that gun is marked.

1945 built by Harrington and Richardson for High Standard who sold them to Sears and Roebuck
Tell us as much as you can about it. Rifle, shotgun, or pistol? Action type? All I have is a note that it was produced in 1936 and 1937. Perhaps it is included in the Blue Book entry as a "submodel" of something else.
As the number 3 indicates,your Winchester model 42 can chamber either 2 1/2in,or 3 inch 410 shotgun shells.
It all depends on the model your looking at. So, to make it simple, elaborate. My pump action M56A uses airsoft shotgun shells, that act as magazines. So in a real shotgun, when the shell of a shotgun is fired, the Shell ejects, and the bb's fire. In an airsoft shotgun, depending upon the model, a shell shotgun fires 1 or 3 bb's, and without ejecting the shell, you pump again, causing more pre-loaded bb's into the chamber. But in some Airsoft shotguns, they use Magazines. You insert the magazine into the underside of the gun, and when you re-pump, bb(s) load into the chamber. That would be the logical answer. You used the word "Have". Do i "have to use shells". There are magazine alternatives, and you can always do it the good old fashion manual loading method. You could "screw" the loading mechanism, and manually force the bb's into the chamber. Not recommended. Any more questions, email me.
Your winchester model 12 shotgun in 20ga was made in 1913.I should point out that the chamber of your 20ga shotgun is 2 1/2in.The winchester model 12 in 20ga was chambered in 2 1/2in until 1927.So caution is advised when shooting your shotgun!Do not attempt any modern day shotgun shells that have a length of 2 3/4in.
410 shells only and only what the barrel is marked for.
Actually the shotgun uses 16 gauge shells i have the same shotgun
The Western Field model 30 pump action shotgun and the Stevens model 520 shotgun are one and the same firearm.Savage/Stevens made these for Montgomery Wards.The shotgun in question should show that it was chambered for the 12 gauge shotshell.The length of these shotgun shells were 2 3/4in. If your shotgun is not marked,I would have a gunsmith make a quick check of the chambering for you.This will only take a couple of minutes to do.
No. will handle 2 9/16 old shells or 2 3/34 modern regular pressure shells.
Mfg Date Springfield Model 39AI purchased my Springfield Model 39A 410 Bolt Action from "Western Auto" in 1943-45 holds 2.5 & 3 inch shells 6 shot with a plug to restrict it to 2 shells plus one in the chamber. I have been told by gun dealers the 39A is the MFG date is April in 1939
Per federal regulations, it can only hold a maximum of three shells (2 in the magazine tube + 1 in the chamber).
Deer slugs are the shotgun shells to use when deer hunting.
the model 1400 holds 3 shells. 1 in the chamber and 2 in the magazine.
3 shot (1 in chamber & 2 in the tube)
