The pin should install with some friction but should not be hammered in with great force.Īlso, you shouldn't have to hit the frame with a hammer to get the ejector out. The ejector should be removed and the notch filed into the post. The post should be marked with the ejector in the frame. The rounded ejector post will cause the drill bit to flex and enlarge the pin hole and possibly break the drill bit. Yes, the gun will generally function without the pin but obviously wasn't intended to be used this way.kinda like your car will drive with a flat tire but should you really do it?Īlso, I don't recommend drilling the notch using the pin hole as a guide - especially with a hand held drill (actually, just don't do it).

Ejector should be held in frame by friction with the pin as security. Slide does not and isn't intended to hold the ejector in the frame. One or two smacks, and the frame will be in your hand with the ejector still in the vise. Using a rawhide or lead filled plastic hammer, strike the frame rails just in front of the ejector while supporting the frame with a good grip to prevent the frame from flipping and falling. Then carefully grasp the ejector in a vise with enough force applied to withstand a hammer hit, dust cover up oriented. As for the removal part, one needs to have a very small punch to punch out the pin. The front post/drilled hole doesn't need interference due to the notch/pin combination. The rear post/drilled hole is where there is supposed to be enough interference to hold the rear portion down on the frame.

Then the pin is installed using a hand press. Then where the pin hole is already in the frame, a small drill is used to put the "notch" in the front post using the pin hole as a guide. The only thing that varies slightly from what he said is that the ejector is installed in the frame forcibly.
