ejector question
« on: September 23, 2009, 07:50:20 AM »
working on my 357 stub project I removed material in barrel to fit ejector using my model 158 22 jet ejector as a guide. Last night I went to order the 357 ejector and ejector latch because it has a pin hole broken out. Brownells lists the ejector as post 98. Does anyone know if the post 98 is of different or same dimensons as the older ejectors? I hope not diff as I have already removed metal to fit older style.
Thanks Don.

The old style ejector is about .200 deep and the new type is about .130 deep.  In a pinch the new will work in the old, but it is nice to use the one that fills the hole.  Larry

I was a little afraid of that. Perhaps a bit of JB weld to bild up the size on new extractor would be better than leaving unsuported area around case. I knew I should have ordered parts first. Thanks Larry for your answer and would liked to hear your opinion on filling space. The broken extractor that I have looks like cast or pot metal in break, so I'm sure one can not build up with weld and then file down.
Thanks Don.

The case isn't supported by the ejector in any case.  I would just order the pre 98 ejector and have it proper.  I would not bother building anything up, it will not make any difference to function.  Personally I would buy this one to use.  http://www.brownells.com/.aspx/pid=7020/Product/EJECTOR__1987_98 Larry

From previous discussions the general thought is they're made of sintered metal, I know they're hard and are much easier to machine after being annealed, I've modified a few for conversions and they seem to be pretty hard stuff and they have been known to break, at least one member closed the action on a chamber lock and broke the post off the extractor.  :-\
