Motorcar Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Are there any markings on it to indicate that it is a repoand not an original part? No there were not, very nicely done as was all of Gordon's reproduction parts. Edited January 16, 2019 by Motorcar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Wright Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 There is a milled ejector currently for sale on Gunbroker. Is there any way to tellwhether it is the real deal or a repo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motorcar Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Colt and early Savage guns had the milled ejector. In 1941 Savage produced the 3 piece ejector to simplify milling operations and reduce cost. They are stamped on the underside with the letter code of manufacturer.

Jack Wright Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Actually, I have a spare milled ejector for my Model of 1928 British Thompson. It is marked with the Son the backside. I do not know whether the milled ejector on the gun is marked or not; I’m afraid to tryto take it off to see... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconbob Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I think these flat ejectors were discussed in detail here years ago. The machining marks of therepros are different than an original and once you know what to look for the repros are easy to spot.I have a few of these flat ejectors marked with the round S that we took off of torched gunsyears ago. I never saw one without the S. I guess no S would mean its a Colt? Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1957 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Jack, I can take it off for you and show you how to do it without damage. We need to get together anyway, You have an early savage and those were made to the original specs. I am confident it has an S. Your selector levers are knurled but differently than the COLTs. Shoot me a pm and lets plan a time when we can all meet. Got my BAR back and I am sure you Andy would like to see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have the AGI video, but that step intimidates me. Edited January 17, 2019 by ppgcowboy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huggytree Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 ive bought several S milled ejectors and price is always $100-125....just passing on market value to anyone looking for the real deal....ive got 3 spares. i can tell my gun has had it replaced by the hacks around it, so it is definitely a wear part...50 years from now ,no original spares will exist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman1957 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Huggy, doesnt alway mean it was replaced. Just could have been someone overeager in cleaning the weapon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hawksnest Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I use fishing line with a loop. Get the loop under the ejector, gently lift and unscrew carefully. shazam - No scratches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StrangeRanger Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 This brings up a question that has been nagging me. Are M1 ejectors the same as M1928 ejectors? Most parts sources say yes but a few differentiate between them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 They are not the same. The M1 has a shorter threaded section to accommodate the narrower receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bug Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I use fishing line with a loop. Get the loop under the ejector, gently lift and unscrew carefully. shazam - No scratches. This to lift the ejector then slide a business card under the detent to prevent scratching the receiver. This same method works well for removing the C clip on L and C drums when servicing the rotor. Clear, thin (0.010") is even better. bob D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StrangeRanger Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 They are not the same. The M1 has a shorter threaded section to accommodate the narrower receiver. D-oh all I had to do is measure. Sometimes I feel stupid, other times I am stupid. So does anyone want to trade me a couple of M1 ejectors for a couple of very good (apparently NOS) M1928 ejectors?

anjong-ni Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Doug Richardson made the milled ejector in my receiver. He might still supply them.He personally used his knarled-old thumb to wind it in there at his shop in Chatsworth...Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reconbob Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have never seen, or known of first hand, a broken ejector and therestill seems to be a plentiful supply of both types. Too bad we can't say thatabout other parts.... Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timkel Posted January 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Recieved the flat ejector. It is machined, unmarked and quite nice. A bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandman1957 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Agree with RECONBOB, have never heard of an ejector breaking or failing. Extractors yes, ejectors, no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
