    1927 Field Ejector Archived Message

    Posted by John R on June 18, 2008, 4:50 am

    Picked up another Elsie for the collection. Found my first ejector gun,it is a 1927, serial # RE9742X regular frame that is in resonable shape.
    The case hardening is about 70%,wood is decent with no cracks. Negatives is stock was cut for a recoil pad and barrels have some dents that will need to be addressed. Gun is very tight,barrels ring tru and ejectors are strong and timed well,almost lost one of my snap caps trying them out.
    Gun has done some traveling over the years, recoil pad is from a gunsmith in Santa Monica CA, I picked it up from an auction in IL,now its in MD.
    Was wondering if there is any special maintenance that needs to be done for the ejectors?
    Also any members in the Maryland area that have experiance in barrel dent removal or know of a close by resonable smith to do the work?
    Thanks John
