H & R Ultra Slug Gun
Iv got a H&R Ultra Slug Gun that I bought this year and finally got a scope on in it so i went out to sight it in and out of the 10 rounds i shot the ejector worked exactly 1 time, I had to run a rod down the barrel to get the shell out when i did this the ejector would pop back out. has anyone else had this problem with the gun?any ideas on how to fix it? im gonna try getting some oil in the mechanism tonight.

Try skimming back through the posts in the guns section and firearm review and look for all posts titled H&R ultra slug hunter or USH. This is a common issue and I know several threads have discussed out to take it apart and clean it out. I think it had to do with burrs or metal dust from the machining never being cleaned out during assembly of the gun. Unfortunatly the forums dont let you search for the terms H&R or USH... to short I guess.

I would pull it apart and clean it really well. Look for metal spurs from when the gun was made, sometimes that is a problem. If cleaning it well doesn't solve the problem, go back to where you bought it and see what they can do for you.

Exactly as bocajnala says. There can me little bits of steel left in there from the maching processes. Unfortunately this IS common - fortunately the fix is easy.
Do as said and clean it out. Just spray cleaning without disassembly is not the answer. You have to take it apart.
Drive the pin out that retains the ejector. Be careful as it is obviously spring loaded. Make sure you don't loose the spring.
Once apart clean it all out with a good solvent and the ejector, too. LOOK INTO THERE WITH A LIGHT AND MAKE SURE THERE IS NOTHING LEFT IN THERE. I have a bunch of USHs and they have all been cleaned out. None acted up and needed it but when I heard of the issue I did it as preventative. I recommend laying the ejector on a fine flat file and working both sides about 40-50 reps to assure it is plenty smooth before reassembly. Once the solvent is totally evaporated and all the parts are 100% dry, coat the spring with a thin film of light gun oil (rust preventative) and assemble with just the slighest bit of light gun oil on the ejector. Oil from the spring will keep things sufficiently lubed for years to come.
If you put a BB under the spring it will increase the pop of the ejector.
