Ebay has the rivets.
There is also a spring but it is labeled as 2-3/4 only. |

The usual parts sources dried up over a year ago. The only rivets I have seen since then have been on Ebay.
FWIW the 19.99 rivets on Ebay look to be someone's aftermarket parts with that shiny finish. The OEM factory parts always had a matte, kinda parkerized finish on them (and that is not really a problem as the rivets are a simple part to make on the lathe) |

The local Smith can fix the gun no problem. It's a new ejector spring that's the issue. I only have the one 870 and it's set up for HD. For it to be anything but 100% reliable is not acceptable. I'm the mean time a 1201fp will have the duty.

What shell length? 2-3/4 or 3” or 3-1/2” ? (Although I think 3” and 3-1/2” might use the same spring...). Kind of tired currently and been a month or so since I worked on mine...Seems like that was the case though.

For the past 20-30 years* Remington used the same ejector and ejector spring in in the 2 ¾ and 3” 870. The 3 1/2” receiver guns have a different, length specific ejector and ejector spring. *Early on there was a 2 3/4” ejector and ejector spring in some guns Here's a picture of the ejector that shows some of the differences:

Does anyone have or know where I can get one? I just can't bare the idea of going into the zombie apocalypse without an 870 |

I just can't bare the idea of going into the zombie apocalypse without an 870 There are some on Ebay right now, the only place I've seen any of these parts in the last year or so. The springs are outrageously priced  ....but it you really need one.... |

870 production is restarting. If you can wait a few more months you should start to see the parts become available.

Last time I needed parts I had to find them from a Canadian company that according to their website they wouldn't ship to the US. I ended up e-mailing them and finding out they actually had a subsidiary in the US and could ship from here. I'll try to find the receipt see if it helps.
