Ejector gun - broken right extractor

[Pete Lester]

Anybody know what is involved with replacing a broken right extractor on a 1 1/2 frame 12ga ejector gun? Big job, small job? Better yet anybody have one they would sell that might fit?

Pete,Where did it fail on the stem? I have seen them repaired.Lou Rotelli was EDMing new ones. But I have not heard from him in a good long while now so I don't know that he is still doing anything.

Dave it broke about an inch back from where the ejector hammer strikes it.

My GHE 16ga had the same thing happen. Its a two bbl set so I figured just switch them out...wrong there all hand fitted. Not a big job the smith cut the broken piece out made a new one welded and heat treated it.

I gave him the gun just befor Hausmanns so I'd have it for the U.P. shoot in two weeks and its completed and ready as of today.

I bought a PHE 1 1/2 frame with steel barrels for too good a price, seller did say the ejectors were not working. What he did not say was that the sears were missing. I did not think to open the forend up to look for the sears during the three day inspection. Cost $300 for the parts used. Lucky to find them. Lou wanted $460 for the ones he makes.

So ejectors can be real expensive to fix.

Pete,

Take it to a good tool and die maker and I bet he could weld it back togeher. Those guys are wonderful and often will do it just for the challange.

My GHE skeet is back and ready for action. I picked up my gun from Lawrence DelGrego yesterday, very fair price and a quick turnaround. Glad to have it back home.

Saw another 12 ga GHE Skeet in the shop while I was there, about 450 numbers earlier than my gun. 26" skeet in and skeet out, BTFE, SST It was a pistol grip with Hawkins pad, beautiful gun.

Pete I have a GHE 12 skt also. Str stock, SST, BTF checkered butt. We should compare serial numbers. Eric and I have consective numbered VHE 16 skeets.

[Dave Suponski]

Good to see you're back in business Pete...

[Eric Eis]

Glad everything worked out Pete. By the way Rich since you got that C from Larry and you said you are a little short on money I could help you for that V grade 16 skeet.........

Hi Pete,

Chances are that the GHE Skeet 12 Gauge at DelGrego's is mine. I entrusted it to Larry to correct an occasional doubling of the trigger and slow ejectors.
