Hi fella's the ejector pin has just broken or perhaps worn away after fireing about 25 shots as it is made of dicast metal or mazac it can't stand up to the stress of lugging back those brass 45 cartridges or is this just bad luck? can they be up graded to steel or is there any supplier in the uk that can supply repacements? has anyone fettled a replica ejector themselves and got the thing to work again. by the way the gun is an mgc M1911 meu pistol. Keeping my fingers crossed some of you more experieced guys can be of help. Regards kevin. _________________ Icons of WWII - the Jeep and the Colt M1911

Hi Kevin, i to have had this problem with a Kimber 45, 2 have broke in fact and as to why, well i have no idea. Did you get a jam before it broke, is the ejector moving freely. All is not lost new ejectors are available and easy to replace, the 2 sellers in this country would be able to help, or francky who i have no doubt would be able to source a spare.

Hello Claymore,Thanks for your reply.You wont believe this but a good friend of mine has made a new ejector pin for me this morning out of a 7mm COACH BOLT from B&Q ALL BY FREEHAND.It took him 3 1/2 hrs no mistakes made.fine fettled with hand files and micrometers. I could'nt believe my eyes as it took shape.After the assembly of the weapon the big test came.A mag was loaded up and 5 shots were pumped out rapidly,it worked perfectly.now i've got real steel in the slide! My pal is also pleased with the job too.Perhaps he will be willing to help out others with the impossible Regards Kevin. _________________ Icons of WWII - the Jeep and the Colt M1911
