Something not to do with a Stub project
« on: August 31, 2008, 12:44:23 PM »
Today I made a discovery while test fireing a 32 H&R Mag stub barrel.  I used a slightly modified Hornet ejector, just take a little off the bottom of it and it is perfect for the H&R Mag.  Problem was I used the older type of ejector which uses a deeper cut out, that put the cut out for the ejector under part of the case wall which allowed the case to bludge at the bottom  in the ejector cutout, not a good thing.  Just enough to see it is a bad thing and not let the case eject.  Use the modern thin ejector if you are doing a stub project and things will be fine.  Good thing I had a spare barrel, only cost me a barrel and half a days work.    Larry
