22 conversion kits

[sheepherder]

A question for any Erma conversion kit owners - The ejector does not have the 'hooks' that the 7.65/9mm Luger ejector has. There is nothing to hold the ejector in the receiver. When assembling it, I have to hold it in until the frame ears press against it.

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???
