Ejection problem

[DonVoigt]

A picture is worth 1000 words.

And David meant "ejector" not injector.

That is what I figured.

Will check it out and even if it looks good will purchase a few things (ejector, extractor & spring) and try replacing them one at a time.

This came on suddenly so whatever is doing it should be fairly simple to find (heard that before).

Thanks again for input.

one more question, how do you remove the ejector ?

Do not see anything on you tube showing how.

Start with the ejector.

This video has the full disassembly of a deactivated Luger.

Edit. The ejector is somewhere in it.

Edit 2. Removing the ejector is a piece of cake. You will find out that putting it in place may require the use of some foul language.

I have found that a modest rap from a small rubber hammer will seat the ejector. Alternatively a small piece of scrap wood over the ejector, hit with a handy tool such as the butt of a larger screwdriver, will do the job. No untoward language required, unless you miss the ejector and hit your thumb.

If Tom Heller doesn't have an ejector they can sometimes be found on eBay.

Thanks for the input guys, I will most likely order it from docluger but there are a number of other sources available.

The worst part of it is the serial number, but if you use a tool you have to expect issues.

Replacing the ejector reminds me of reassembling the bolt on an M1.

First time I did it I ordered a tool for $15 from someone and while waiting for it thought to see if there was a YOUTUBE video showing how to do it. There was / is and the guy doing it tapped a nail into the side of his workbench and in 2 seconds had it done. I did the same and it took me more time than the guy in the video but easy to do.

Still have not used this $15 tool.

I am not expecting to have to buy a tool to get it done but I am tuning up my language...…..

Mario,

I thought it was a numbered part.

One publication indicated it is numbered.

Will find out for sure when I remove it.

For Sheepherder, I removed barrel assembly from frame and chambered a round and manually operated the toggle link and the ejector holding the rim of the casing would move back as far as it could but without the extractor tip there the case would not eject.

Some may operate without the extractor but I would be surprised if any would. Please let me know how yours operates without the extractor. In inquiring minds want to know...………...
