I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WILL A ITHACA MODEL 66 BARREL WITH A ROUND EXTRACTOR INTERCHANGE WITH ONE WITH A SQUARE EXTRACTOR.

I have an old Ithaca 66 SuperSingle 12 gauge. It is a great squirrel gun and I have also whacked a couple of turkeys with it. It has a problem of not ejecting the shell when I break open the action.

Would this be hard to fix? Thanks.

I've owned a few of these guns and they all extracted the hulls instead of ejecting them.

I'm sure we are referring to the same thing. Sometimes when I shoot, the shell doesn't get pushed out of the chamber and is stuck so to speak.

PROBABLY NEEDS A GOOD CHANBER CLEANING/POLISHING, AND MAYBE AN EXTRACTOR SPRING

HT,

I have a Model 66 in 20 Gauge. It is a great gun, but it does have a weak extractor spring. You need to remove the spring, and find a stronger spring of the same diameter. You can always cut it to size.
Ithaca should have used a stronger spring. Even a new one won't do.
find a replacement at a hardware store or small engine shop or gunsmith.

Thanks. I was guessing that the spring needs to be replaced.

Would this be hard to do myself?

It has a pin you need to punch out that holds it in. Easy fix.
