The problem of the 1919 Winchester Model 12 (12 gauge) shotgun was presented to a pre-1964 Winchester Rifle and Shotgun collectors Facebook page. As of this writing, the post has around 42 replies.
The issue is that the 2 3/4 shells weren't feeding into the firing chamber. The gizmo (one called it a "duck bill") doesn't do anything when I pump the gun. According to a video (see bottom), it is called a shell carrier. I suspect gunk (not visible to me) may be the culprit or perhaps a spring.

Anyway, it is way beyond my expertise (which is pretty close to nil), so I will likely take it to the gunsmith.
