Ejector guide pins
Posted: 25 Dec 2017 08:42
Hey Everyone! Long time no see and Merry Christmas!
I hadn't messed with the 92 in quite some time as I had been favoring my 45-70 to the point where I was talking about selling it to a friend. As I was talking about it he says to me "Hey, I think you are biting on your own sales pitch here" and he was right. I went home and started emptying brass but it wasn't cycling great as the ejector was protruding out about a coil or 2 length out of the bolt. Course that didnt stop me from shooting about 100 rounds and loving it even in single shot mode. I had to search my memory bank but I did have this issue a while back so I pulled it, disassembled, reassembled, shot, repeat a good 5 times until I remembered that darn ejector guide. It had just enough slop to let the whole shebang come out.
So I pulled the pins which was no issue. Darn things nearly slid out once started. Calipers have them at .058". So now I am on the hunt for new ones or a few pins at .058, .059 and .060. Anyone have a source or a few rods they could spare to cut my own? Most places Ive found have a min buy of 10 pieces at 6 inches each. Id be able to repin darn near everyone's 92 on the board if I did that.
Thanks,
Andrew
