Erma .22 coversion kit for 9mm P.08

Not meant as a permanent conversion, but it fits only this version of the pistol, so I'll keep the two together. When shooting 9mm gives me too much of a beating, I can change over when I feel like it. It's no more involved than field-stripping--or I think it will be, as soon as I get the breech block/extractor aspect sorted out.

I've edited the above post, and now this one, because I kept typing extractor when I meant ejector. The ejector lines up with the block on the breech end of the barrel line. The liner will click past It when inserted, but this seems a sketchy move, to me. Removal of the liner is impossible until the ejector is sprung and held completely out of the way--also a sketchy move, I think. A toothpick wedged behind the extractor on the outside of the pistol once the extractor is sprung out, would do it gently; but I'm not trying it until I finish gathering opinions, if then.
