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:

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