stoeger 2b- dirty after first run

[delivers1234]

i shot at 100 rounds on my new side by side stoeger coach gun. it got stuck as the extractor part was really dirty and did not want to open. ive tried cleaning it with hoppes. but its really hard to get the gunk out. any suggestions?

I'm not familiar with this particular gun but here are my general comments.
If you don't want to tear it down completely for cleaning try soaking the action only (remove stock and barrels) in kerosene then blowing dry. Then use a light oil to coat all parts. This has sometimes worked for some of my other guns.
Did you clean it before using it the first time? If not some of the factory preservative coating combined with powder residue may have gunked up the action. If the gun doesn't lock up nice and tight powder residue from blow back may be a major factor.

There is a screw right between the barrel lugs. Remove it, and then slide the extractor out the breech end.

Most of the dirt and grime on shotguns comes from the wads melting in the barrel. They can be a bit of a hassle to clean. A trick I have found is that after I clean the gun I use silicone spray in the entire gun including inside the barrel and chokes. Then the melted wads don't stick and clean up much easier. I use a Tico tool to clean my shotguns. I spray a little barrel cleaner and wipe it out with the Tico tool and then finish with Silicon spray. Another good reason to use silicone spray is the dirt does not stick to it. Dirt will stick to oil. About every 1,000 shells I tear the shotgun apart and do a thorough cleaning.

Also look at your extractors. I once saw a NEW Stoeger and the extractors were bent. Obviously somebody had dropped the barrel when it was apart.

Those Stoegers seem to come from the factory with quite a bit of grit in the gun (grinding dust?) There is a small screw on the bottom side of the barrels between the chamber area in the rib . Separate the barrels from the gun and place the barrels on a table locking lug side up . Remove this small screw and the extractor will slide all the way out . You can then flush out the guide hole the extractor rod slides back and forth in . I burnished the extractor rod with scotch brite after smoothing the sharp edges on the slot edges from machining . Put some light grease on the rod and re-install .
When replacing the small screw don't screw in down too far or it will drag on the extractor rod . You should be able to work the extractor in and out easily with your fingers when done .
