The receiver I am using has an ejector slot just a bit smaller than the Erma ejector. I don't want to do any filing or machining, at least not quite yet.
The ejector doesn't seem to do anything. Pumping fired case through it, the extractor pulls the case out and when it clears the chamber, the firing pin flings it out. It doesn't even get back to the ejector.
I've been cycling it without the ejector and everything seems to work just fine. But because the ejector is wider than the receiver slot, it drags on the frame ears. It doesn't return to battery. It doesn't slide easily with the ejector in place. It's not fully seating.

Any users have any comments???  |
Rich, my SE 08 set does not have an ejector, it uses an extended right rear feed lip of its mag. I think the mag for yours will have no such protrusion. Anyway, my kit fits fine in my 29/70 Mauser, but it will not install on my 1917 DWM because the sear and the lug on the kit's firing pin do not line up correctly, and the fit of the liner in the barrel is simply too tight. I'm wondering if your setup might not be more at home in a 70s' Mauser.
Also, the extractor appears to be the same as would be found in the KGP 68A Erma pistols--the .380 and .32 autos. Though there's one for sale on eBay right now, they're normally scarce as hens' teeth.
