Lumpy223 Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 I had Paul weld in a new ejector for me last year but it broke again. Because Paul is not available, I need to locate a new smith who knows their poop when it comes to a Reising. My gun has been down for the last few months and we all know a busted machine gun makes a pretty expensive paperweight. I miss shooting my buzz gun. So......anybody know of a smith who can replace a broken ejector that was welded in? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkridge Posted October 6, 2005 Report Share Posted October 6, 2005 These people may work on a Reising, I guess it would be worth giving them a call. Try John Norrell Arms, www.molyresin.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Asmodeus Posted October 7, 2005 Report Share Posted October 7, 2005 My gunsmith has had to perform various repairs on both of my Reisings. He's done good work. Name is Eric Weiner, and can be found at Ready, Aim, Fire Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy223 Posted October 9, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2005 Thanks guys. I wonder how long it will take for someone to shine as the new "Go To Guy" for Reising repairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig101 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 hey Lumpy, did you find someone to fix your ejector? i tried one place who fixes reisings (not listed in this post) and they had never done an ejector before. they told me to take a rod, line it up with the ejector, and try hitting it out. i'm like "HELL no!". So i am still trying to find someone competent to fix my ejector. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m37 Posted October 21, 2005 Report Share Posted October 21, 2005 I have been looking at the ejector problem the ejector shank on reisings is swaged on the outside then filed off If your ejector is not tack welded on the outside of the recvr some are some are not and the ejector bar has completly broken off sometimes It can be knocked out with a hardened punch from the inside I have talked to 2 people so far who were able to do this am looking at designing a drill jig for the welded ones most of the brakege problems I have heard involve the bar snapping off completly anyone have anything different happen?? mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lumpy223 Posted October 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 I haven't taken the time to look into this yet so my gun is still down. Hunting season is in full swing here and i have a new woman in my life so between the two of them, i have been a bit busy. Maybe once I kill a few more ducks and a deer or two I can finally look to get this gun repaired again. The flat piece broke completely off my gun and it was welded in when Paul fixed it the first time. Mine will need to have the weld removed (Dremel?) before the post can be removed. The next repair is probably gonna ugly the gun up a bit due to weld grinding and such but at least it will be shootable again. Owning this expensive a paperweight sucks.

craig101 Posted November 4, 2005 Report Share Posted November 4, 2005 i have an email into a smith, who had been looking for a reising ejector for a customers gun last december. i guess he does good work. i emailed him to see if he did the work and how it turned out and that is he was good at it, there is a void that needs to be filled! craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig101 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 i found a smith who has replaced an ejector on a reising before and is willing to do it again. LOLOL he's not taking anymore work until January, but once that time comes around, i will send my reising in. cost is $100 plus the ejector.

ken42144 Posted November 15, 2005 Report Share Posted November 15, 2005 hi, my 2 cents. i think you would find that mike at 309-379-4331,or www.darnalls.com can fix most any on the reising . ken christie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig101 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 i spoke with someone at Darnells a few months ago. he said they had never replaced an ejector on a reising before. he said i should take a metal rod of some sort and try and pound the ejector out. no offense, but i'm not going to start hitting a metal rod in my receiver hoping the ejector will come out. so i said thanks and kept looking. if an experienced smith uses a metal rod to remove the ejector, more power to them, but i don't trust myself to do that to my gun. it didn't sound like they were keen on trying to replace the ejector. maybe thats changed or i spoke with the wrong person. Craig troy sellars at inrange is the smith that will do it for $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m37 Posted November 16, 2005 Report Share Posted November 16, 2005 Craig I was the one you talked to You were right that I wasn't that interested in Taking on any ejector work as I was hoping Paul would recover And I have plenty of projects I guess I didn't get across to you what I was trying to If you could have got the extractor stub to move with a Punch Not a rod from the inside of the receiver it would be a lot easier to change And any good gunsmith where you are could have fixed it I just took one out of a demilled rec chunk the other day in that way Studying this problem But the thing that matters is why they are breaking It wont do much good to have a new one put in as lumpy did And have it snap right back off You should have troy test the ejector shank and blade Hardness before he installs and temper if needed As they also act as a bolt guide They are probably too hard maybe way to hard This could be just bad quality control on H&R's part I don't remember ever seeing one that was worn From the bolt sliding Here are other things that could possibly cause it to break Misalignment of the eject hole in the recvr or improperly aligned Ejector when installed Out of spec bolt locking recess in the recvr causing the bolt To batter the ejector Ejector slot in bolt binding ejector when camming into battery FWIW It looks like the best way to remove on non welded or tack welded is to use a 5/32 or 3/16 End mill from the outside to core and then punch out On The ones that have been entirely welded over it would be Possible to go thru the ejector port with a small endmill and open A pilot hole from the inside The main thing is not to open the existing ejector hole as it is drilled Undersized and reamed to .250- .2505 with a slight chamfer on the outside Should have some ejectors to hardness test soon mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craig101 Posted November 18, 2005 Report Share Posted November 18, 2005 thats great news! that you are looking at the ejectors and testing them. if you are doing all of this research on them and working on demilled rec. to get a better handle on the ejector situation, maybe i will wait until we hear an update from you then? please keep us updated here.

jim c 351 Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 eewa,I think lumpy223 gave up on the Reising 10 years ago and therefore disappeared from this sight 10 years ago.Got frustrated. Happens to all Reising shooters sooner or later.Jim C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
