Abstract: A cylindrical device with flared and rounded ends for use in instantly dislodging spent (fired) shotgun shells from the breech opening of shotguns. The shell de-jammer comprises a cylindrical solid body member of sufficient weight and density to quickly and easily dislodge a spent shotgun shell that has become stuck in the breech. The device is loaded axially into the open end of a barrel and dropped vertically down the barrel with the dead weight impact force of the device instantly dislodging the stuck shell. The construction and coating of the device is such that it does not scratch or damage the gun bore defining surface or ejection or closing mechanisms of the gun.
