Repro Flat Ejectors on eBay $50


Recommended Posts

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. (From Frank Iannamico's American Thunder)

I think these flat ejectors were discussed in detail here years ago. The machining marks of the

repros 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 guns

years ago. I never saw one without the S. I guess no S would mean its a Colt?

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.

Can you post a few photos of the process and what tool you use. I have the AGI video, but that step intimidates me. Edited by ppgcowboy

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

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.

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. :wacko:

So does anyone want to trade me a couple of M1 ejectors for a couple of very good (apparently NOS) M1928 ejectors?
