greg, I have just acquired a Nova 20GA and have the same experience (ejector spring coupled to pin in the box). Academy (where I bought the Benelli) did not say anything about the ejector. The 'use-maintenance' manual says nothing. I put the Nova together and it would not eject an em Empty shells now eject OK. Next Sunday I will shoot the gun and find out, but it would be nice if Benelli responded to you and to me. There is no 047N pin in my box. Because the ejector is smooth, I think there is no 047N part anymore.
