Extractor barrel conversion to ejector

[B. Dudley]

Factory conversions of ejectors were done often. The work to the actual frame is minimal. It includes just drilling out the trip pin holes, installing the new plungers and swapping out the roll joint.
Most of the work would be in the barrel conversion. I wonder if Parker would have converted the rib extension, or changed it out...
I would wager converting since changing out would require removing, re-soldering ant matting it.

They would probably have converted it as it would require removal to do the machining on it anyway.

I think this is something that's often talked about but seldom if ever actually done. If anybody has the parts it would be DelGrego. My guess is even if they do they won't be interested in doing the work.

My old BH had been converted to ejector by the factory repair shop (Lefever) in the 50's. I had a whole series of letters between them and the owner referencing how the ejectors didn't work and on and on and on......
