Ejector help!

[Chris T.]

My gun will eject both shells together, or just the left barrel when fired, but not the just the right barrel. I know the problem is in the forend, and is likely to have something to do with the set screw on the small sliding mechanism on each side. Any one play around with these?

Thanks,
Chris

One other thing, some times the right side will eject when I start to close the gun and the shell hits the standing breech.

time for professional help.

Maybe just a bit of stoning of the right sear will fix this. Just enough to take the rounding off the edge. A bit of 400-1000 emery on a surface plate (or the granite counter top, when your wife goes out)

Edgar,
Are the sears the sliding pieces on the side for the forend iron? They would be the piece you can see through the two little holes on the back side of the forend, the two little buttons in front of the reciever push on them to tell them when to eject. Should those slide out of the forend iron when you take off the clip, spring and set screw? I tried to take them out before and they bind up about half way out, I didn't want to force them or take apart the whole forend to see what was on the other side. You and I think alike, good thing I have a small surface plate!
Thanks,
Chris

Chris, Do you have a copy of the Green Goose Parker catalog? If you do, look at page 30. The shoulders of 71&72 (hammers) 75 & 76 (sear slide) and 77 & 78 (Combination Sears) should all have good crisp, square shoulders. I've only fussed with a few of my own guns, and shouldn't be confused with anyone who knows anything; just enough to get myself into, or out of trouble.

Being able to get out of trouble is a sign of a master tinkerer. Good for you.

Cheers,
Jack

Thanks for the help Edgar. Unfortunately I don't have that catalogue but I get the idea of what you are saying. I like to tinker too, I have the means to do alot of this stuff myself, but whather I send it out or not depends on how soon I want it fixed!

Chris,
If you can't get it fixed yourself Abe Chaber here in CT is very good with ejectors.
