Not correct. Yes phil, You can. If you remove the wood, it will be clear if the ejector hammer leg or lower tooth on sear is broken.
Parts would also fall out.

Thanks guys. I will have a look. I had the wood off earlier last week to clean and lube just in case that was the issue. No parts fell out at that time, didn’t look at the hammers very close unfortunately.

Just curious, is this also an issue on the original Parker ejector guns?

Very unusual to have a broken ejector hammer “leg” on an original Parker. Parker Bros. Learned very early on during the Lifter era that a radius cut is far stronger than a ninety-degree angle on high stress parts so the leg on the ejectors was also radiused while the hammers on the Parker Reproductions were at a perfect 90 and they can be prone to breaking.

Brian, I’m not trying to be arguementative but can you tell me where we can see the ejector hammer legs in these pictures... just for my own edification?

No problem Dean. I have circled the two hammer legs. These are the parts that can break off. If they are damaged, it would be clearly visible with the wood removed. And also the condition of the lower combo sear catches can be seen.

To illustrate my point about the radiused 90 degree inside angle of the elector hammer foot. Double or triple click the picture to enlarge the view.

Parker Repros weren’t radiused.

Due to some issues with kidney stones I have been a little slow in inspecting the forend metal on my Parker reproduction. Pulled the wood off a little while ago and low and behold look at what I found.
Thanks for the feedback. Another great reason to be a member.

Joe Breda makes replacement ejector hammers WITH the radiused foot. I think Brian uses Joe's hammers when he replaces them.... but I may be mistaken.

Mine was the right hammer also... maybe this is the norm because the right barrel gets fired more often.
