Joe Breda
 

I read a post a few years old not long ago about Joe Breda and the ejector hammers he made. Someone was asking if he was still in business and there was a phone number and website listed but no definite answer as to their viability or service.

As luck (?) would have it I was cleaning a gun the other day and when reinstalling the fore end I heard a ping and the left ejector wouldn't cock. I removed the fore end iron and the "L" on the left ejector hammer near the sear had broken off and the small missing piece dropped out.

I looked up the number and email and got a response back quickly. He had some in stock and the price he quoted was essentially the same as he listed when he started making them several years ago. Given the problem of finding these, I ordered two lefts and a right so I would have a full set if I have trouble in the future.

I just sent the order and payment to him.

He lives in California now. I don't know if he still lived in Pennsylvania when he started these. For information if you need it, the numbers are:

The flaw in the Repro ejector hammers is that they overlooked the radiused inside 90 degree angle and through use the hammer would break at that point. Joe knows how to properly make them with the radius.





.

As far as I know Joe was always in CA since he had started making these. His manufacturing was in Texas with his sons.

I shot Skeet with 3 generations of Breda’s this past weekend.
“That’s the way you do it son”.

Just wondering. I had a long conversation with him discussing ejectors and when we were discussing the winter storm we are preparing for, he said he had lived in Pennsylvania for 30 years and did not miss snow at all.

So how did Mr. Breda's replacement left ejector hammer work out? Parker all fixed up?

Haven't received it yet. It was shipped at the same time the wildfires started and hasn't left California yet. It has been to 3 stations within a hundred miles of LA and is caught in a "Local Weather Delay". My typical luck.

Someone sent me a second day air usps envelope Monday of last week from northern Cali . Supposed to be in my hands Wednesday of last week . It made it to Richmond VA on Wednesday but stayed in limbo the seventy miles between Richmond and Orange until this past Saturday . They can use all the excuses they want , bottom line is the USPS just plain sucks :cuss:

I had a USPS package that tracking showed out for delivery on January 5. I finally received it on the 10th.

I had a gun mailed Priority, a week ago Monday, from Upstate NY. They promised for Friday, but it was delivered Wednesday. Oh Darn...
