komodoj Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 I know this has been discussed before and I do not have my Thompson yet but what is the process for removal of the Ejector? I have seen a few manuals( Distorted pics) but I can not locate a video on it. Thank you in advance! Oops also forgot and the removal process for the "Frame latch"? again thank you to all in advance.

Taliaferro Posted April 8, 2021 Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Not sure why you want to remove either of these items. I would advise you leave them alone unlessthey are broken. But send me a PM and I can advise how to do both. Tracie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill in VA Posted April 9, 2021 Report Share Posted April 9, 2021 There’s no mystery to removing the ejector. Slide a business card under it so you don’t scratch the receiver and then simply unscrew it. No big deal. FWIW I can’t install my Ciener kit without removing the ejector.

anjong-ni Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Doug Richardson wound in my new one with his iron thumb. My 1921 receiver wears its circular scratch as a Badge of Honor.... Phil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgeport28A1 Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 I used heavy fishing line and a playing card to avoid a scratch when turning it out or in. I used to take my ejector out to use my Merle .22 kit before having Merle do the modification to allow the barrel install with ejector installed.

Grasshopper Posted April 10, 2021 Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 Hi All, I use an old credit card. I'm liking the feeler gauge method. Normally they have no sharp edges and you don't move the feeler gauge when sliding over it. Love this board. Always learning, Grasshopper ps. Still do this for my JAC and Merrel kits.
