Greetings all, my first post.

Obviously, Christmas has come today, and I had the nice surprise of getting an NEF Pardner 20 under the tree this year! Great gun, very solid.
Only one issue! I tested a spent 20 shell in it to see if it'd eject ok, and it did, kinda.
the shell came out about halfway and stopped. Normally the Pardner single shot ejects the shell about 6 feet. I have the hold the gun with the breach facing the ground for it to fully eject. any ideas how I might fix this? It's only a slight inconvenience, but I'd like my new shotgun to be performing at the top of it's.. Er.. Game. Much appreciated!
