1939 P08 Ejector Keeps Failing

[Randall_G]

As gunbugs suggested, I disconnected the breech block from the toggle train, and felt and watched the breech block as it engaged the ejector:

-I felt drag increase while moving the breech block forward, as the ejector slot in the breech block necks down, causing the ejector's "fin" to contact the breech block. I assume this is normal?

-The drag felt linear in both directions, and I didn't observe any binding as I moved the breech block backward and forward.

Yes, that is normal.
The breech block has to move the ejector out when it closes, that is the resistance you should feel.
You will also feel additional resistance when the striker engages the sear and the striker spring is compressed.

Where did you find the "original" ejectors in the plastic bag- with made in the EU on it?
