Ejector problems 🙈

[Cold Spring]

Just my take on your gun. Parker ejectors use a v-type flat spring not a coil spring and such springs typically don’t get “weak”.

I really doubt any amount of cleaning with this or that solvent or oil will resolve the problem.

Are you sure the left fired shell isn’t hitting the breech face (ejecting too early)? Try ejecting a shell by opening the gun VERY slowly. Even then the fired shell should clear the top of the breech

Ill try that im quite sure the barrels where fully opened because the right side flew out.

Each ejector is timed individually. If that left barrel ejector fires just a few degrees of arc early the rim of the shell could hit the very top of the breech and pop back toward the chamber. Meanwhile the right barrel with ejector in time ejects the shell properly.

Timing of the ejectors is not for those without very deep experience AND with available parts. You can try the solvent, again I doubt it will work, and if the problem persists it will take an expert to fix it. As posted here earlier many otherwise excellent 'smiths decline to work on Parker ejectors. Sorry I don't have any suggestions.

Here's what can happen to a Parker ejector "Floating sear". The center hole is worn oblong, the sear is cracked and there should be a small notch at the crack area that's now worn down but originally like the one opposite it.

Ill try solvent first if the problem persists ill load it up and take it to Darlington gun works they are only about 2 and half hours from me. I talked to them on the phone they said they would do it but they were 4 to 6 weeks out. Thank you for your suggestion and the photo as well
